The short answer

A broadhead cuts rather than pushes, and bag and mesh targets stop arrows with layered fiber or woven mesh that blades destroy. Use a self-healing foam target that states broadhead compatibility — on this site the Rinehart 18-1, Rinehart RhinoBlock XL and Block 6x6 Poly Fusion all do.

You need this target for one specific job and not for volume practice: confirming, before the season, that your broadheads group with your field points. That takes three arrows, not thirty, and it is the step most people skip.

Rinehart 18-1

Rinehart

9.0/ 10

Eighteen shootable faces of self-healing foam, broadhead capable, rated to 500 fps and explicitly crossbow approved. This is the one target on the site that handles the two hardest things at once: a 470 fps bolt and a fixed broadhead. 15 inches a side and light enough to carry by the handle.

Published spec	Value
Speed rating	Up to 500 fps
Faces	18
Dimensions	15 x 15 x 15 in
Broadhead capable	Yes
Foam	Signature series self-healing
Crossbow approved	Yes
Carry	Easy-carry handle

What it does well

500 fps and broadhead capable together, which is rare
Eighteen faces means you rotate rather than shooting out one spot
Self-healing foam closes the hole behind the arrow
Light with a carry handle

Where it falls short

Expensive next to a bag target
Fifteen inches is a small face for a beginner at 40 yards

Rinehart RhinoBlock XL

Rinehart

8.6/ 10

Six faces, two of them 3D deer zones: one with outlined vitals, one showing anatomically correct organs. For a hunter switching to a crossbow, the organ face is worth more than another bullseye — crossbow shots tend to be closer and the angle matters more. Self-healing foam handles field points, fixed blades and expandables.

Published spec	Value
Faces	6
Dimensions	18 x 18 x 13 in
Deer faces	Two 3D zones: outlined vitals and anatomical organs
Broadhead capable	Field points, fixed blades, expandables
Foam	Solid self-healing
Compatibility	Compound and crossbow
Speed rating	Not published

What it does well

An anatomical organ face teaches shot placement, not just grouping
Handles expandables as well as fixed blades
Six faces spread the wear
A larger face than the 18-1 at a similar price

Where it falls short

No speed rating published, which matters at 450 fps and up

Block 6x6 Poly Fusion

Block

8.2/ 10

Six-sided, 400 fps rated, 18 by 18 by 16 inches, and the listing states it handles everything from practice tips to broadheads. Poly Fusion bonds the layers to the inside walls, which is Block's answer to the classic layered-target failure of the stack pulling apart.

Published spec	Value
Speed rating	Up to 400 fps
Dimensions	18 x 18 x 16 in
Faces	6
Technology	Poly Fusion multi-layer bonded to the inside walls
Arrow types	Practice tips through broadheads
Carry	Built-in handle

What it does well

Handles broadheads and field points on the same target
A large 18-inch face, which suits sighting in
Bonded layers resist the stack separating

Where it falls short

400 fps rated, so not for a 430 fps or faster bow
Heavier than a 12-inch cube

Morrell High Roller

Morrell

8.6/ 10

High-density self-healing foam rated to 450 fps across six sides with 21 bullseyes, and an EZ-Tote handle. 450 fps covers every bow here except the R470, and the six-sided rotation is what keeps a target alive through a season of practice.

Twenty-one bullseyes across six faces
Waterproof foam that resists fading outdoors

Block Classic

Block

8.2/ 10

The original open-layered Block: arrows stop with friction rather than force, entering between unglued layers that grip the shaft as it heats and release it as it cools. That mechanism is why the Block pulls easier than a solid-foam target. 18 by 18 by 13.5 inches, two-sided, high-contrast faces.

Published spec	Value
Dimensions	18 x 18 x 13.5 in
Faces	2
Technology	Patented open-layered friction design
Arrow removal	Heat and friction grip, then release on cooling
Faces detail	High-contrast black and white
Carry	Lightweight and portable
Speed rating	Not published

What it does well

The open-layer design gives the easiest pull of the foam targets here
An 18-inch two-sided face
Light enough to take to camp

Where it falls short

No speed rating published, which is a real gap for a fast bow
Layered targets can separate over time

How we picked

Published broadhead compatibility first — including whether expandables are covered, which is a stricter requirement — then speed rating, face count and whether the foam is self-healing. See our methodology.

What each one states

Target	Broadhead statement	Speed rating	Faces	Dimensions
Rinehart 18-1	Broadhead and field point capable	Up to 500 fps	18	15 x 15 x 15 in
Rinehart RhinoBlock XL	Field points, fixed blades and expandables	Not published	6, two with 3D deer zones	18 x 18 x 13 in
Block 6x6 Poly Fusion	Practice tips through broadheads	Up to 400 fps	6	18 x 18 x 16 in
Morrell High Roller	Not stated	Up to 450 fps	6, 21 bullseyes	Not published
Block Classic	Not stated	Not published	2	18 x 18 x 13.5 in

The RhinoBlock is the only target here that names expandables specifically, which matters if you shoot mechanicals.

Self-healing foam, and what it actually does

Rinehart's signature material seals the arrow hole as the shaft passes, so repeated shots into the same area do not open the face into a crater. Combined with easy removal for field points, fixed blades and expandables, that is what makes it a broadhead target rather than a target you can occasionally shoot a broadhead into.

Block's Poly Fusion works differently: multiple layers bonded to the inside walls, which stops the stack separating — the classic failure mode of a layered target. It states compatibility from practice tips through broadheads at 400 fps.

The fixed versus expandable distinction

A fixed blade cuts a narrow, consistent slot. An expandable opens on impact to as much as 2.3 in, which cuts a far larger hole and does far more damage to the target. A target rated for fixed blades is not automatically rated for expandables, and the RhinoBlock is the one here that says both.

If you shoot mechanicals, that distinction is the one to shop on. See best mechanical broadheads.

How to use a broadhead target properly

Three arrows, not thirty. You are verifying that broadheads group with field points, not practicing. Broadheads and the target are both finite.
Rotate the faces. The Rinehart 18-1's eighteen faces exist for this. Never shoot the same spot twice in a session.
Pull straight. Twisting a broadhead out tears the foam and dulls the blades. Pull along the shaft's axis.
Replace blades after the test. The edges that went through foam are not hunting edges.
Check the group against field points. If they do not coincide, see mechanical vs fixed blade.

The RhinoBlock's other argument

Two of its six faces are 3D deer zones: one showing outlined vitals, the other anatomically correct organs. For a hunter switching to a crossbow, that is worth more than another bullseye — crossbow shots tend to be closer and the angle matters more, and knowing where the organs actually sit is a bigger improvement than a tighter group.

Our pick

The Rinehart 18-1: 500 fps, broadhead capable, eighteen faces, light enough to carry. It is the only target on the site that handles the two hardest things at once — a fast bolt and a cutting head. If you want the anatomical practice as well, the RhinoBlock XL, accepting that it publishes no speed rating.

Frequently asked questions

Can you shoot broadheads into a block target?

Into one that says you can. Block's 6x6 Poly Fusion states compatibility from practice tips through broadheads; the Block Classic does not state it. Rinehart's self-healing foam targets are the clearest broadhead-capable options here.

Why can't you shoot broadheads into a bag target?

A bag target stops arrows with layered fiber fill, and broadhead blades cut that fill apart from the inside. The damage starts on the first shot, which is why broadheads need a self-healing foam target that closes behind the blades instead of gripping the shaft.

What is a self-healing foam target?

Dense foam that seals the arrow hole as the shaft passes, so repeated shots into the same area do not open a crater. Rinehart's signature material is the reference example, and it is what makes a target genuinely broadhead capable rather than broadhead tolerant.

Can I shoot mechanical broadheads into a broadhead target?

Only if the target names expandables. A fixed blade cuts a narrow slot; an expandable opens to as much as 2.3 inches and does far more damage. On this site the Rinehart RhinoBlock XL is the one that explicitly covers field points, fixed blades and expandables.

How many broadheads should I shoot before hunting?

Three, at 20 yards, into a broadhead-capable target, to confirm they group with your field points. Then replace the blades, because the edges that went through foam are not hunting edges.
