Here for it, been wondering the same thing

 

Rinehart RhinoBlock has been great for me. Also nice that it has the replaceable core.

 

Been through a lot of targets....and the RhinoBlock with the replaceable core is where I will stay. It is worth the investment....these guys confirmed that. Cheers!

I just purchased a Morrell High Roller for $109 shipped. Hoping it’s a good option at half the cost.

 

Please report on it, if you get a chance.

 

I also like the Rhinoblock XL. Very durable and can take a lot of broadheads. They're so dense that when they're new, you'll need to lube your arrows to pull them out. It gets easier once it's gotten broken in.

Another extremely durable one is Morrell Vital Signs Combo. I'm still shooting my Morrell after 5 years, without complete pass-thoughs. The newer Morrell models are bigger and crossbow speed rated, but they're $250-ish. Both options are expensive but worth it, considering you won't need to replace them for years. A lot of people like the Blob targets, for durability, but they're not nearly as portable.

For budget broadhead targets, I like Block Classics. I like the 22" model for up to 80 yard shots. If you hit the same spot a few times, though, arrows start passing through. I can get about 1 year out of one, if I start adding my own spots in the unshot places, with duct tape X's. Still, they're very portable. I have to go to public land to practice out to 80 yard shots. My backyard maximum range is 40.

 

There is no best, they all get jacked up being shot with broadheads.

I have had several of the top end high dollar one with replaceable cores and they did just as good/bad as a dirt cheap block knock off from the local sporting goods store.

Far as much as shots as typical needs to be taken to be sure broadheads are good, a cheap block style target does just fine.

 

I agree. I have a Rhino Block that's about a year old. It wasn't cheap and it's about dead. Blocks take hits, but broadheads are going to wear them out.

 

I have a bargain cave special, and you know what happens when the boys start the competition, yea, so I use expanding foam on it usually two cans, then plastic wrap it up tight and keep pushing flat till it stops working. After a couple days I unwrap, paint flat black with some bright spots to shoot at. Works good for 3-D targets too.

 

How well do broadheads hold up when they hit that dried out expanding foam? Sounds like a great target repair idea, unless it ruins broadheads.

 

Blob is the best BH target, heavy as heck and not easy to pull field points out of and will break most mech heads after so many shots.

 

X2 on the Blog targets....the one I shoot is like 4' x 4' and about 8-10" thick. It is several years old and still going strong. In "worn" spots the arrow will stick through about 2-3" out the back. In other areas I sometimes have to push the arrow on through the target so I can unscrew the head to pull the shaft back out of the target.

 

The foam works excellent, I have a 55 gal drum that was filled with foam for a dock float, after the plastic drum broke apart it has become our ranges broadhead target for years now, left out in the weather, no worries. the only broadheads that accelerate repair are the expandables as they have to be yanked out taking chunks. I used to repair the 3-d targets as well, used a belt sander then dremeled scoring rings and touched up with some latex paint.

 

My experience is similar to what said above. Never tried the Blob. Warning, if you shoot single bevels, target will get torn up even worse trying to pull arrows since they spiral into the target. Hard to replicate spiral upon removal.

 

Best is kinda' sketchy.....want are you looking for? Size, easy to pull, longevity, modular, mobile, travel, permanent, price. All of the Above? They all have strong & weak points IMO.

I like my Matrix because you can move the old sections around and/or flip them. Some people say it doesn't last long but mine is at least 3 years old....I think 4 and still going strong because of the modular swapping options. I have a Thridhand bag target above it and only shoot broad heads to tune, choose, verify and practice a bit before season.

It was close to 400 I think high 3's? But I'll get 10 years out of it so that's not bad at all. Plus I can take a section with me when I travel.

 

a large pile of sand

 

I did that in the early 90's. It will dull broad heads to the point of ruin and even takes took the finish of the arrows. Too abrasive for me.....if you think about it it's like taking sand paper to the arrow with every shot.

 

I built one from rigid insulation this year and love it. 2 sheets of 2" Foamular from Home Depot. Owens Corning FOAMULAR 250 2 in. x 48 in. x 8 ft. R-10 Scored Squared Edge Insulation Sheathing-52DD - The Home Depot I cut them into 24x24 squares and tightened them down with cheap ratchet straps over 2x4s slightly longer than the squares so the straps don't dig into the foam. Only thing that I don't like is the foam sticks to the arrows from time to time, but it's easy enough to get off.

 

Would like to know myself.

 

I am a big Blob fan and here is a quick review I did comparing it to my Matrix.

Blob vs Matrix. My broadhead target review

I have owned this Blob target for almost two years and the Matrix is much newer around 2 months old. This is not a scientific review, just me shooting my 60 pound bows with a 440 grain arrows and Exodus broadheads 20-40 yards. I did not keep track on the number of shots but you will get the idea...

My blob target is 7 years old and is in its final days.

 

Morrell High Roller for us. Works great with fixed and expandables

 

BLOB........hands down, I’ve been putting broadheads and field tips through mine religiously since 2016 and I think I can make it work again until fall, they are just tough!

 

In my opinion, the best way to make any broadhead target last a long time is to bare shaft tune your bow out to the furthest distance you can. A bow that shoots perfect bare shafts at 30+ yds will do the same with fixed blade broadheads, which saves a lot of wear and tear on both the target and the heads if you’re only shooting them a few times to confirm they’re hitting where they should.

 

That because that's "your" process and you are good at it. I'm really good at broad head tuning because that's what I do. 6 in one 1/2 doz the other. If you are good at broad head tuning you don't pound the target with hundreds of shots......you adjust for it quickly using your experience and it goes quickly.

I'm not saying your way is right or wrong or mine is better just making the point that if you are good at it......it's not going to wear out a target any faster.........maybe at first granted but if I can't afford a target to broad head tune I'm probably in the wrong sport...........lol

 

I’ve had great luck with the Rinehart targets as well as the 365 Archery trio target system.

Idk I worked over a 18/1 rhinehart with some broadheads and it did pretty good.

 

Blob!

 

Rhinehart!!

 

I have about 20 targets,,,,(yeah, I know lol) For BH's nothing beats the Blob, They all get torn up quick with BH's but the blob will outlast them all.
