    Just bought a new Invasion 18 inch Block target. Is it normal for field tips to penetrate all the way through the target? My arrows are sticking out the back of the target a couple inches. Was shooting an old wore out Block target before and never had this happen.

    That sucks but from all the reviews I have seen and read I'm not surprised. Would never buy that target. Call them up and send it back.

    weird... I have the block... Hoyt Charger set at 65 lbs and 27.5 DL, shooting 340 Beaman ICS Hunter Pro with 125 gr tips... field points and fixed broadheads never go more then half way into the target

    Make your own! Life time targets work excellent and will last. Plus they are rebuild-able and don't cost and arm and leg. I use this for field points. I have a cheap target just for broadheads since I shoot field points more.

    Did you get the yellow or white one? The black ones are the good targets.

    I bought a block target too and have gone through two of them already. Won't buy another. It says broadheads can be used on it however the broadheads slice the siding causing it to unravel. Mine is now held together with duct tape...
