I pretty much would use the block if you are going to be shooting expandables into it though I tend to prefer a bag target for practice tip shooting.

I have "The Block" and i cant say im too impressed with it. It stops broadheads but these slick tricks are tearin it up to pieces. I highly doubt it would stop a field pt anymore but thats what the delta deer is for. It serves its purpose i guess.

I have the 4x4 block... I love it, and as much kinetic energy as my bow produces it holds up great! I had the old block as well, and yea the broadheads would shred it and leave the shreddings all over the ground. My buddy bought the Yellow Jacket,, lol what a joke, first arrow he had to cut a hole in the yellow jacket to get his arrow out lol.. so i wouldnt recomend it.

Hey PD what do ya mean by "old block"? Reason I ask is I have a block and it does exactly as you say, broadheads slice big pieces out of it. Just wonderin if they have improved that on a newer model cause like I said on the post before, it sure as hell aint holdinup like they say it should. I guess I should mention that mine is 2 years old. Have they come out with a better design since?

I had the Block and was disappointed. I shot through it in no time. Big slivers were coming out of it constantly (When pulling out broadheads). I switched to the Yellow Jacket and it's much better. The Yellow Jacket is half the price and half the weight! For my money it's definitely the Y.J. Just remember to only shoot broadheads in it. Field points are real tough to pull out!
