RE: the block or black hole?
I have two Block Targets, both are small in size (the portable model). One I just purchased this fall, the other is 4 years old. The older target I have used broadheads on also and though it is a bit "chewed" up in the center...it's still stopping arrows!

RE: the block or black hole?
Both are made out of the exact same foam from the same supplier. The black hole just isn't quite as deep as the block targets.
On either of these targets I'd reccomend placing a rachet strap around them.. and as they wear compress the target a bit. The bands on both are too loose from the factory.. This makes them easier to pull out of.. but at the cost of longevity... and tightening the rachet strap will make the targets last much longer.

I have a Block and love it. The bow shop where I go also has Rinehart Block targets. About the same price as the large Block target and the arrows pull very easy. Don't think you could ever shoot out this target. It measures 17" square and has 12 - 45 degree edges which also have targets to shoot at. Would make a great portable target.

Bayfire I have the Black hole and it didn't last very long after shooting broadheads into it ,but a friend has the Cube and has been shooting into it with broadheads all season long and it's definetly lasted much longer than my hole .The hole is fine as long as it's field point's your shooting into it .I know target's can't be expected to last very long after shooting broadheads but the Cube seem's to be lasting much longer than the hole. I guess your looking for a target for your new MM so if I were you I'd go with the Cube.
