You're really trying to do the impossible. You need two different targets. An investment in a good 2 finger removeable target for field points will pay for itself. The arrows just about fall out and the targets like the kind I have last a long time. Mine has been shot A LOT and is still in great condition after 2 years. I don't know the brand but it's a 2 foot square target Len uses in his range at his shop. It cost $85-100 dollars, I forget. But it's great. It is a little heavy but I have a hand carte I move it in and out with. You shoot one side for a while and turn it to another face every month or so. I tape NFAA target faces on it with duct tape. As far as the broadhead targets... you get what you pay for but it still fails. I bought a Cube last year. They come in light, medium and heavy weights. I tried to save a couple bucks and bought the mid weight one first. The very first broadhead came out the back. So did the next 13. For a little deduction for damage my proshop let me upgrade to the heavy weight. It stopped the carbon arrows from my 67 pound Darton. I played around with a lot of different broadheads this year and the target is shot. I really haven't put that many arrows in it. From what I see, the Block is about the same. Broadhead targets wear out fast. Plan on it. After one season I have to back my Cube up with a couple cheap hard type broadhead targets.

I got THE BLOCK for Christmas this last year and have had the chance to shoot about 500 arrows in it so far. It's holding up better than I ever would have thought. No wear yet! I've only used field tips so far though. This is a must have target, I have been shooting into it all winter down in my barn, works incredible!!!! GET THE BLOCK<u></u>

I've used my Block target for two years now. As long as the layers are vertical(up and down) arrows with field tips hardly show any wear. Broadheads are a different story,as Illini mentioned, when removing arrows with broadheads small layers of foam that have been sliced,come out also. The only time I use my Block with broadheads is on a hunting trip or after/before a hunt during the season(I have the small target and keep it in my truck 24/7 during bow season) when I want to stay tuned and make sure everything is in working order.
