RE: What's the Best Block Type Target?
i got the $50 black hole and regret it. i have not had any passthrus but the target spins around after each shot. my block did not do that. i lost my block during hurricane isabel. a tree fell on it and that was it. it looked lik i had 100 roof shingles in the yard.

RE: What's the Best Block Type Target?
My friend and i recently built a 6ft by 6ft target/backstop. we built a wood frame with treated lumber and then used 4 6'X12' carpet remanants that we got from someone who redid thier carpet. you get 8 layers of carpet to shoot through and not once have we had an arrow go into all 8. you can also spray paint any target you want onto the carpet or tack up a paper target. it also works ok for broadheads and it also makes a great 3D backstop

Zak123,
I shoot both a Hoyt Protec with spiral cams set at 87lbs., 32" draw and a Mthews Ovation that tops out at 75lbs. @32" draw. The Hoyt is much faster but the Ovation is much, much smoother and has less recoil. I use Gold Tips 7595s with weight tubes of 3 grain per inch and 125 grain heads.

I have been using "The Block" for about 5 months. I use it mainly for FPs as my BHs seem to chew it up. I set the target on its side so the layers are vertical and seems to last longer. TerryE
