The Block "crossbow" target will work well for years.. I have 3 years of shooting on mine. Its about worn, but no pass throughs yet :P

its 70-80bucks though, but worth it

The first time I shot in to a block it kept my tip and insert, the owner said it was a poorly built arrow, I think he just needed an extra brass insert.

sounds like bad glue to me... Ive had inserts pull out with fletch tite before, but that was after quite a few shits. With the goat tuff glue, if the insert pulls out, the shaft is going with it :P

Crazy, you need to be careful of what you eat. I could understand eating play-doh, but glue that has got to bind you up!!!!
