I got a rhino block, they aren't that hard to pull out. Shoot your broadheads into the replaceable insert though, they will cut up the foam pretty good from shooting in the same area. I haven't used any mechanical's in it. Field points are no issue. Just a good grip will take them right out.

Hi BD1   I'm not to far from you, Harding- up along the river from Pittston.  I have the Rheinhart  block xl and, the brute to shoot at. The Brute is the one to go with!  Same material just totally different designs.   Your 380 will rip through the replaceable portion of the xl when shot on the short side.  Not to mention that stupid plastic tube, and the bad targets to aim at. Before I had these to shoot at, I used the Block Fusion 400+ fps model. Stay away from this one.

I bought a rhino block yesterday, stops my Ghost 400 with Easton FMJs great and they pull out easier than my mcKenzie.

A little cooking oil sprayed on the arrow shaft helps removal also.

I love my Rineharts for broadhead shooting, but I only use a Syderweb for field point work.  If I shoot a TAC arrow tipped with a field point into my Rinehart, it welds itself and is nearly impossible to remove.

I love mine, it is awesome. Stops my Eqionox dead in it's tracks and easy to pull

Broadheads are fairly easy to remove because of the channel the blades cut. Use a quality arrow lube like Woodys or Arrow Snot and field points will be easier {not great}. F/P Spyderweb is the best way to go by Farrrrrr.

I bought a new Rhino Block target and shot my Ghost 400 at 20yrds into it and thought I would never get the bolt out. I've got to try Woody's or Arrow Snot or eat more spinach!
Here's a pic of my bolt after I got that sucker out. It was welded in.

Hi All,
I have a Rinehart Rhino XL and have been using it for a couple of months to test and shoot my broadheads from a PSE TAC15i. The target will probably stop just about anything do to it's extreme density. Removing my arrows often requires me to lay the target down on the side opposite from where the arrows entered the target and then I need to stand on the target and use both hands to get some initial movement on the broadhead. Once it moves even a quarter of an inch, it will release easily, but at times it can take both hands pulling to achieve the first bit of movement.

When shooting field points the arrows friction will almost weld the shaft into the foam material of the target. This was also an old problem encountered by compound bow target archers when using carbon shafts. The solution was silicon that was placed in a foam lined tube and the arrows were pushed in and out of these tubes prior to each shot.  You can accomplish the same thing by just using a small sponge or piece of foam soaked with some spray or liquid silicon.

This makes removal of your arrow shaft from the Rinehart targets much easier. Also keep in mind that the Rinehart Rhino targets were no made for non broadhead shooting. There are a few other targets out there that are made for field points and only require two fingers to easily remove an arrow.

Regards,

For some of the heavy hitting systems I have a joke that sort goes like. If you shoot one of the old school delta back yard bucks with a carbon shaft. I have a hundred bucks that says you can get it out with out a Sawsall!

I just got the rhino block, should have listened about using something to put on arrows. At 33 yards with my predator i had a hard time getting arrows out. I really like the target, i was shooting regular practice tips.

Yes, It is hard to remove field points from a Rhino Block, but its a great target for broadheads. I love the Syderweb 1.5 XL for field points, real easy to remove.
