A Rinehart 18-1 is a fantastic target, and, if you wear one out in a year, you can get a free replacement.

Block Fusion are not what they are advertised to be, they dont stand up to broadheads very well. I hear a lot of good things about rinehart products and I am saving up  for a rinehart blovk.

I go through block targets pretty fast as well.  I found they'll last longer if you set them up so that the sheets run perpendicular to the ground instead of horizontally....as the arrows drop in from a distance they don't cut the individual sheets nearly as much.

That said....an 18-1 is in my future.

An 18-1 rinehart is a very dureable field point target and in most cases a great BH target.

They can't handle an Ultra-EFOC arrow tipped with a Big 3. My last one merely lasted 3 1/2 weeks. Could easily challenge the warranty, however my objective was to develop a super penetrating arrow for the Big 3. Even shot out a new $90 Eagle layer target in 2 1/2 weeks with field points. When you have field points running thru a used but with much life let Outdoor Range Morrell, then target affordability becomes an issue.

Will be going to a Blob target yet may still not pursue this particular arrow design. Knocked down three 3D targets at one shoot last year. The arrow was ~32% Ultra-EFOC(400 up front), merely weighed ~611 gns and was shot from a 51# bow.

I have found that using Armor-All on the arrow shafts has reduced target damage with field points.  Really helps with wood shafts - easy in - easy out.

I have had my rinehart 18-1 for four years, field
point and broadhead, hope to get at least a couple more years out of it.

BLOB, If you don't know what it is, Try and do a google search. Will last for years even if you shoot broadheads.

The only downfall to the BLOB targets is the weight.  Not a target you want to move around, but will stop any arrow that is slung at it.  I used to shoot my 290fps bow at 20 yds and would get maybe 4" of penetration.  Mine has been sitting outside for over a year now with no deteriation.  A great target IMO.

They're not cheap, but takes awhile to ruin an 18-1.

I must have gotten a  bad Blob with in 3 months it was a JUNK, it started to fall apart. The center  shot out, and the back side fell out in chunks. Sent pictures and a leter to the maker but never got a reply.   Be carefull!!!!
