I've had good luck with blackout from Bass Pro. Cheap and don't have issues coming out of targets. They do loosen up every now and again. So I check em when I load the arrow.
Never had an issue tuning it with a broadheads either.

One question, are the Smith Bros points easy to pull? In my opinion, they are not horribly priced either for a Made in the USA quality item. I'll look into the Bohning ones as well.

Honestly I can’t say they’re any easier/harder to pull than anything else. I shoot em over the bohning points because a) they look cool and b) local shop makes em.

Ive been using the easton match points myself. Not cheap but they work well. Cant say I see any real benefit over the other styles on the market though. If there was a difference Im not good enough to notice it 🤣😂 Some points claim to stop in targets better than others so you don’t over penetrate. Through the bag or foam block

I don’t think that for backyard practice out to about 50 yards I have much to add to what everyone else has already commented. I will give this though. How concentric the threads and shoulder are to the point head itself is important for tuning. Mass produced points will have a little variation coming off a machine. You will sometimes notice that in the same package of 100 pieces that some are more concentric or centered around the inserts when tightened down. With a fletched arrow it’s not as noticeable, but when paper tuning or probably bare shaft grouping you will see a difference. Basically the heavier side or side that isn’t flush will create a weaker static reaction to that portion of the arrow. Giving you an inconsistent tune reading.
Glue in target point options are nice to have for fine tuning but I understand that is not always an option. They’re definitely more consistent. I don’t personally pay for the higher end points, but I would think/hope they are of better quality and lessen or eliminate the issue.

I actually find the bottom one pulls out easier from my Rhino 18-1 but they are both easy

Can get them in Lancaster etc in the USA
