I have "The Block" which works great for field tips. I shot a couple of broadheads into it today and like to have not got them out and it was shredding the layers of foam with the blades.

What is a good target to shoot the broadheads into ?

Thanks

I picked up this one at BPS. It was 69 bucks and has 6 good shooting sides.

Great value and tough.

For broadhead practice I make my own bag target with a nylon sack like what you get corn in sometimes. Stuff it with old jeans, shirts and such. It works OK and its better than spending money on a target. Broadheads will tear up any target pretty quick. That's why I only take a few practice shots every now and then with my broadheads at 15-40 yards.

For a field tip target I like my block target. It's held out very well. Most target will degenerate quicker if you leave them out in the sun too much. I store mine in the garage when I'm not using it. Otherwise that sunlight will make it more brittle and it tears up easier. Same thing with my life-like deer size targets.

I have the blue morell and have a lot of shots into it and have been extremely happy.

I have the yellowjacket bag target and it didnt hold up near as well as I wnated it to. I used it to shoot into when I paper tune my bows, and my X Force will go thru it. Trust me there are 6 or 7 holes in the wall in the back of my house to prove it. I would have thought that would be a better quality target than it has been.

I have a yellow jacket I got from Academy for about 60 bucks, and I dont really like it. I havent shot broad heads into it yet, but the field points are nearly imposible to pull back out of the target, if you have the slightest amount of sweat or oil on your hand they are staying there, and most of the time to get them out I end up standing or sitting on top of the target to pull them out. Is there something I am doin wrong or what.

I have the block 4x4 and i have shot a few broadheads into it, mostly just to make sure its shooting the same as my field points. Its easy to pull the broadheads out and with the "wrap" around the layers it has held together really good.
