Default Broadhead in block

Got the X-bow restrung and back, started sighting it in. Looking good but at one point one bolt struck another in the grouping, pulled the bolt but field tip is stuck in block. Shooting for a while more I broke two more bolts in about the same area the tip was left in. Think they entered and hit the tip and caused the crack in the bolts. Anything I might be able to do. Still relatively new block and would hate to loss it to prevent damaging more bolts.

If you got a metal rod and put it in the hole where the field tip is you may be able to drive it out the other side of the block with a hammer. Of course you may have to turn the block a quarter turn.

Good idea, tip is pretty much smack dab in the middle and being a "six sided" block I would hate to have the issue linger in the core of it.

Use one of the cracked bolts to drive it out if you don't have something of similar size.

I know it doesn't help you with this particular problem right now but I started buying layered broadhead targets so I can go in from the top between the layers and get broadheads or any other stray parts out.
