I use them and like them a lot.  If you use practice points, they will last for many many years.  If you shoot broadheads they will last a couple years.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I had one that lasted about 4 years of heavy shooting.  I'd guess that I probably shot 30,000 shots through it before I finally canned it.  Two years had it wearing a ratchet strap to keep the arrows from passing through!  For the money, there isn't a better deal for a target that you can put a ton of broadheads through.

the black hole is great for field tips, it will last a long time with field tips, but they don't last long with Broadheads, you arrow will start blasting out the backside after a few shots in the same spot and sticking in the dirt ruining your nice blade edge, and you will be leaving a trail of black foam strips were ever you go, I to have ratchet straps holding mine together, atleast the blackhole is cheap..

there ok, broad heads tear em up but i guess they do that to every target. field tips are kinda tough to pull out so i just use it for my broad heads

I bought one last year to have in camp.  It's the smaller model.  Within probably 50 shots I had broadhead equipped arrows blowing through up the the fletch and fletchs beeing peeled.  And some of those shots were at 40 and 50 yards.  Ratchet strap at least held it together long enough to make it through season, but I won't buy another one.  There are better bag targets out there for the price if you want to shoot field tips, otherwise I would buy a block target or a Rhinehart target for shooting broadheads. :twocents:
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
