Default The Block

I'm looking at buying The Block(the $60 model). Do they work as well and hold up as well as they are advertised? Any info would be great!! Thanks

I have the 18" square one and it holds up fantastic as long as you use field points. You can shoot them with broadheads and they pull out easy but will shred the target pretty quick. For field points I think it is the best target I have ever bought.

Mine does NOT work as advertised. Arrows of all kinds pass right through it...since day one![:'(]

it depends on who you ask , i 've had mine 3 years now and it's kind of chewed up but i haven't had a pass thru yet , i only shoot brosdhead at it a couple times to see how they are flying then i shoot the broadheads at my 3d target , this keeps the block in better shape , it doesn't do too much for the mckenzie though!

I just ordered the Pro Model from Cabelas. I have a DeadStop bag but after only a few shots on each bull's eye, I get pass through. Have to take it down and step on it then it's find. Wish I would have spent the $$ on the Block in the first place. Hope the Block works as good as they say.

I have had mine for about a year now. Pretty much use it for broadheads. I have put a couple hundred broadheads into it so far, and its doing ok. As mentioned earlier the blades will shread the layers pretty bad if you aim at the same mark. Im shooting 280fps and have had no pass throughs yet(broadhead or fieldtips).

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I'm going to go ahead and buy the Hunter(18x18x18).

You may want to try to make your own.

I just bought one this year and am less than impressed. Field tips are tough to pull out and broadheads shred the heck out of it. I'll use it to shoot a few practice shots with broadheads before each season but use bag targets with field tips the rest of the year.
