I'm looking for a suitable crossbow target to practice with both field points and broadheads. I tried one of my old compound bow bag-type targets and all it did was slow the bolt down a bit as it passed through. I would prefer to spend as little as possible, but want one that is fairly durable. Does anyone have any suggestions on a particular make/model that would fill the bill? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
Jim

I have been using the Block Fusion. Works great....both field and broadheads. Excalibur 175# shoots Gold tip LaizerII with 125 gr. at about 282 fps. The entry holes seem to close after pulling arrows.

Rhinoblock is nice, love the replaceable core once your broadhead's tear it up!

Rinehart 18-1...Got lots of recommendations from others here, and have been more than impressed by it. I took it with me to show the guy I was hunting with this year (life long bow hunter who got into crossbows last year) and he was amazed at how easy it was to pull arrows out of...even with broadheads they slide out like butter...

Rinehart 18-1...Tried many, so far the Rinehart for me is the best all around target I have found.

I am another happy and convinced 18-1 owner. Mine has been taking many, many broadheads over the past 3 years and it looks like it'll be good for at least another 3 years.

I bought 2 18-1's 3.5 years ago and still have not used the second one 
They are the best I've seen.

No more calls please, we have a winner! The Rinehart has to be good with those kind of reviews. I asked Santa for an 18:1...I'm hoping he thought I was nice and not naughty. Looking forward to breaking it in. Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it.

X2 great target. I like the rhinoblock. A little hard to get arrows out...but tough as nails
Its not the kill, its the thrill of the chase
