I agree with the Crossbow Block...
Im seeing the consensus here is the crossbow block but is everyone shooting broadheads into it......I have no problem with my field points, shooting dead on at all ranges but when I shoot my broadhead, it shoots way different and I also am looking for a target that stops broadheads without burying to the fletching or pass throughs.....I need to resight my bow in but don't want to keep buying blocks.....gets very expensive
I've been shooting broadheads at my rinehart 18-1. Cuts up a bit more, pulled a couple chunks of foam out, but no serious deterioration. Did lots of shooting this Fall with broadheads and no worries about burying it or passthrough.
I'm just getting into crossbow hunting, the XB that I have shoots 365fps, and so far I have been shooting with field points into a large bag type target I got from Lebaron for $80 - seems to stop the points nicely ....
I don't really see a point to practicing with anything other that field points if you are using mechanicals when hunting.
Depends on the mechanical. Many shoot the same as a field point of the same weight, others not so much. As an example NAP 170 FOCs do not shoot the same as a field point.Quote:

The only Block that will stop these fast arrows before they bury themselves nock deep will be something like a 'Black Block' and it will run you around $160.
It is what it is.

If you are not worried about portability buy a bale of hay. It will stop broadheads no problem and when you soften it up enough buy another. I am cheap .LOL

I only have a cheap Barnett and my bolts went through the bales most of the time and if they didn't go through they were buried right up to the knock.
