Bag by far

 

It depends. If price is a factor, bags for sure. If price isn't a factor, and you're talking about the layered foam blocks, then the block. If it's the solid foam block, then I'd prefer bags.

 

I like bags if I'm shooting 6mm or larger diameter shafts with standard components.

With .204 diameter shafts and collars I'd rather throw my bow in the ocean than try to pull my arrows from a bag target.

I have gangster shanked bag targets more than once to get arrows out… I will say, one of the bear that live by my house hates bag targets even more than I do, at least it hated my 18-1 a little less

I did revive my little Granny Smith tree he busted too, which is lucky for him, I was going to wage war on him spring bear season, but lost interest when I saved the tree… he’s a good one, but something about hunting 100yds from my house is less desirable… he better watch himself though, I have killed for less

 

I have a "block" and with my 50lb bows part of the arrow will go all the way through, and that is when it was brand new. Not sure what guys with faster bows use...
does not happen with my yellow jacket bag,

 

A 24x24 morell bag target can be had for 60-80 bucks and will last 1000s of shots, can be reskined and repacked. Well worth the investment!

 

I have both. Like them both but pulling my .166s outa bags pisses me off sometimes with my arrow config. Come on, bag! Give it back! Bags stop arrows faster, imo. Blocks are quieter to shoot if you're indoors. Ants like them all if you're keeping them outside, especially around here.

 

If I am using a "Bag" target, I like Bulldog or Bigshot targets. For a "Foam" target, I like the Rinehart ones. Depending on your arrow configuration, as others have mentioned, pulling the arrow from a bag target can be a real pain.

 

Foam cause collars and dont need another target for broad heads. Went through so many bag and block targets I just ponied up and got a matrix and its holding up well to many many shots.

 

Bag for sure. Picking up all those little chunks of foam that get blown out the back gets old in a hurry.

Love my Bulldog

 

Depends. I like the portability of the blocks, much lighter. Notice I said block and not black hole. They are garbage.

Once you put broadheads in a block they go down hill quick.

Bags are nice but man do they get heavy.

 

I don’t like either, but I really hate blocks. Way overpriced for the life you get out of them, even field points. I mainly shoot reinhart blocks and 18-1

 

Big bags for tuning.

Smaller "blocks" (and 3D) for practice.

 

I need to be able to pin targets to it Vegas face usually, so block works good for that but I have a bulldog that works really well for target faces.

 

Blocks don’t last very long for me but with the bags I have filled with fiberglass screen last for many years. About every 4-5 years I make new bags and restuff them. I have been using the same stuffing in the five bags I have for 15 years. I’m not sure what they fill bag targets with now.

 

I really like my Bulldog FP+ blocks. Shooting a 60 lb PSE with 430 gr .166 Victory Elite and field tips. Easy to pull arrows out, and the targets are wearing well also.

Have two Rhinehart 18-1 blocks that are also good. They have each lasted about a little over a year and are now pretty well shot up. Arrows often go most or even all the way through.

Still way less expensive and funner than 9mm or .223!

 

I love the cheap little Walmart bags, get 3 of them. They usually clearance out get you 3 for $50 bucks.
Perfect for field tip, I can use two fingers and pull out the arrows.
Block target for broadheads, the crossbow target or the regular, works great and will last you a few years.

 

For field points only, it’s tough to beat the Rag Bag, Buy the empty bag and fill it with old clothes. It has 18 aiming spots. If you wear out all the spots, you get a new cover free. Products Detail

 

Field tips, bareshafts, block. Field tips fletched, bag.

 

I have a block and its holding up well so far.

 

Bag and blob.

 

bag for field points and block for broad heads

 

whichever is the cheapest because my son and his buddies will shoot broadheads into it regardless of what I tell them

 

Dang Kids.

 

borrowed my friends block until he needed it back and now have a bag. Bag is louder, but we shall see how it hold up. Ive enjoyed shooting into it

 

Morrell YJ-400 Super Duper Bag for main target practice and training. No problems with any bow speed and arrow removal for me as I used standard diameter arrows and inserts.

Sevr 21"HD Foam Target for Broadhead and bare shaft tuning. I take in inside and outside as needed. Never leave it out in the weather. Got a pretty good deal on a blemished one a few months ago. Would not of know If they did not tell me. Looked great from the start. TOTA broadheads chew them up a bit, but there is plenty of room and I don't have to shoot broadheads much more than average tuning.

 

Not a fan of bags.

Weather isn't great on them.

They don't stand up on their own.
