Looking for suggestions for a crossbow broadhead target, that offers good stopping power but easy (or pretty easy) bolt removal? Hoping to get a target that my daughter will be able to get bolts out of. I hate having to stand on a target to pull bolts out of it. I use a ragbag target for fieldpoints and love it.

Rhinehart 18-1 Easy pull,good stopping power.I bought a arrow puller for it and have never used it.
Whatever broadhead target you use, don't use field tips in it. It's actually harder to remove field tips than broadheads from broadhead targets.
I know that wasn't your question, but just wanted to offer that advise so you didn't find out the hard way.

Yes Sir, thats what I use as well.Stalker said:
I spray my arrows with silicone and use an arrow puller.
The more often you shoot at the Rinehart Target, the easier it gets to pull the arrows.
be safe

Stan are you shooting broad heads or field points into it? Broad heads come out easy for me.Delta-Stan said:

When I bought the Rinehart I shot some Zwickeys, Boltcutters, Stingers, GK and Slick Trick 175 gr. into it.
They were hard to pull out and I started to use and silicone and an arrow puller. Now there are many holes in it and can pull the arrows very easy, even if I forget to lube them.
DON'T shoot fieldpoints at new Rinehart, I had to learn that the hard way.
be safe

Yeah I've heard the horror stories.I bought the Scorpion Venom arrow lube and a puller when I got mine.I took the lube back and kept the puller.I still have never used it though.Their pretty easy to pull after a little wear.It probably depends on the heads as well.I mainly shoot mechanicals into it.Delta-Stan said:
The Block crossbow target works well with my MXB-400. I've been shooting mostly mechanical heads lately and it does not do much damage to the heads. A head can be shot into it repeatedly (at least Grim Reapers can be). It's not a self healing target so you can wear out a spot. If you do you can repair it to some degree with spray-in foam insulation (be sure to let it dry thoroughly) or simply use a variety of aim points.
Do not shoot field points into a Block crossbow target. You will remember the experience. Especially in cold weather.
The 18-1 has a good reputation and may in fact be the most popular. I use the Block because it works well and I want a rectangular target.
For field points I think it is hard to beat a SpyderWeb. It handles 400 fps with ease. But turn it frequently and try to not repeatedly shoot the same spot too many times in sequence. Give it time to "heal".
