Block Style Targets
« on: January 18, 2011, 10:13:21 PM »
What do you guys think is the best block style target on the market.  I would like to be able to shoot both fieldpoints and broadheads into it but that is not necessarily a set criteria in my mind yet.  So far I think "The Cube" is the best I have seen.  What say you all?

Rinehart 18-1, it has a 1 year warranty on it. Best there is!

18-1 is too small, the layered foam ones with the bands around them straight up suck, the broadhead only targets are a bugger to get field tips out of, my vote goes to the block fusion if it you want one target to shoot both field tips and broadheads.

The block is over priced IMO. Doesn't hold up to broadheads very well either. I have been using a field point bag from sportsmens warehouse which has held up good, but most targets will if you only shoot field points into them. Just bought a morrel broadhead target last year and I like the way it has held up to my broad heads so far. Though the next target I am looking at getting is that Rhinehart 18-1...

I simply use a cardboard box stuffed with discarded shrink wrap and plastic bags. Stops an arrow just done and costs next to nothing.

4x8 sheet of 2in pink foam insulation used in construction. Cut into 2x2 squares. duck tape together with a x in the middle tape around the edges... I put 2 small 1/4 in rods into the ground and taped some keychain rings to the sides to keep up right... STOPPS EVERYTHING! about 10 bucks for the foam, $3 for the duct tape(if you dont have a roll), had key rings laying around, and say 4-5 bucks for some used rebar 2 pieces 3 ft long... got those from the scrap yard in their reminents bin... Less than $20 I made 2 so i could shoot up hill and back down.. Did that before i Joined Silver Arrow Bowmen.  :bash:  :chuckle:

I finally broke down and spent the $100 for a Rinehart 18-1 after owning some of the other laminated foam targets....should have been the first target I bought. If you shoot only field points into it, I think it would last 10,15 years....broadheads are a little harder on it. I probably shot 100 broadheads into it this year and finally bored a small hole about halfway into it. Still stops arrows and there is still 95% of the surface that is untouched.

Arrows come out pretty easily and its probably taken 2000 field points to it too.

It's not too small either, just don't miss.

:yeah:   Great target. Its been shot alot with both FT and BH, still in fair shape. Broadheads will tear anything up. The new fusion has EZZZZ arrow removal, Seems solid as a FT target, but not sure how well it will hold up to broadheads, The older block style were junk IMO, shot one out in a summer.

  I must agrees with carpsniper.18 -1 is the best. Have had one for 2 years. Shot it with hundreds of broadheads and thousands of field points still stops them fine. Wore out one of the first blocks with broadheads in one year, maybe new ones are better.
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

I got the block fusion on sale. It's been great for field tips, I shoot every day at least 6 arrows. I shot a broad heads a month prior to hunting season and it tore it up pretty good. Good field tip target. I have a rinehart coming for broad heads.

I've got one of those 18"X16"X6" Blob targets, back in august and september I put hundreds of broadheads into it, and have not seen any chunks pull out yet.  Biggest problem is that it is quite heavy.  so far, best ~80$ I've ever spent on a target.

Reinhart 18-1 gets my vote also, I dont own one  :'( but my buddy does, I dont care what kind of Block you have or Black hole or any of the other block style targets they wont last as long as the 18-1, not even close :twocents:
