Time for a new target. The current POS will be used for broadheads, the next will be FP's only. Any reviews on the block black? Looking at 18" version, but finding lots of good reviews for the rineharts.

Over the years I've shot up 2 Blocks, 1 McKenzie shotblockr, 1 of the Rinehart rhinoblock , and a Morrell yellow jacket. The rinehart is holding up the best.

If you need a FP only target do a google search for the Third hand archery Rag bag....Its a empty bag target about 3x3ft that you stuff yourself(old T shirts,cotton stuffing etc)..Cost about 30$ shipped,an the bag has some sort of guarantee...The reviews I have seen are good..One downside is it needs covered when left outside.....
I bought The Block a few weeks ago. Got the Elite dialed in yesterday, so I am going to start trying to destroy it very soon. Busy with the kids all day today which left me disappointed about not shooting.
For fieldpoints I would recommend a good bag-style target, like a Morrell.
These seem to be great targets for field points as well. As a matter of fact, there's a DIY thread on AT about building your own 3'x3' target, by using the Third Hand target faces... only like 20 or 30 bucks for the target faces I think.

Sorry guys, should have said this will stay outside, uncovered. I completely understand about the DIY one's, but that is not at the top of the list right now.
My current targets are the Yellow Jacket combo. The bag is about destroyed and leaves a lot of glue on the arrow, and the broadhead (foam) target is starting to let arrows punch through. The broadhead target has held up decent, but when guys shooting 70lb bows and fatter shafts shoot it, it is a pain to remove arrows.
When did Rinehart climb the qualty ladder? All of my earliest 3D shoot memories were McKenzie's were the chit, and Rineharts weren't worth a darn. Is it different for 3D targets vs the blocks these days?

If it matters any,all you have to do is cover the Rag Bag with a trash bag when not in use,...The "stuffing" would hold moisture and mildew otherwise
I have the big Morrell outdoor range target and it has held up pretty well. Not something I think I will buy again, but I have got my $100 out of it. Rinehart seems to have made leaps and bounds of late, so it is hard to go wrong there...
Getting the replacement bag from SCOband refilling it is the way to go IMHO. My replacement bag is the same one Jesse has.

ditto.
I put a new bag on mine last year. You should try to "fluff" it a little though to try to firm up the spot you shoot at the most.
