me and my buddie both have xcet 200's and "the block" stops them about halfway. This is the block target for crossbows also. If your's are going through it, then I would return it since it should stop them about 3-4inches before the vanes easy

I have the Block 4x4. It stops bolts perfect, goes in about halfway.

check bass pro or cabelas.. they both have them for around 70-80bucks. I got mine online from bowhunterssuperstore.com for like 74bucks

but any block target should stop them unless you have one of the first ones made maybe which wasnt as dense. If you keep hitting the same spot eventaully over time they might start going through it though

Been using the Block made for crossbows with my 175 lb. Exocet for two yrs now. It stops my carbons without any problems except their hard to pull out. My son bought me a bag targert from wal-mart last week. It stops my carbons at 15 yards. It is alot easier getting the arrows out. Don't know how long it will last. Tom

I used a Bass Pro exclusive version of "The Block" with my Vixen, and it stopped bolts with no problem.

how much does yours weigh roughly.. mine weighs about 29pounds. The crossbow one is the same basic block target, just a tad denser(more layers)

My bolts arent simple to remove form it.. I have to flip it on its side and use my foot to hold the target down and then pull the bolts out.

im sure field logic(the block) has a website or number.. I would call them and explain the problem. The bolts shouldnt be going through that target. Im sure they would want it back to see what happened with it and they would get you a new one maybe
