would like one that does both. Probably not practical, but cost is a factor

I have shot both into my 18/1. I made a rag bag because field points are way easier to remove than from the Rinehart. Plus you just can't beat free. :D

I shoot an 18 in 1 in the house. I have a full size Bulldog Target as a backstop so if I miss I do not put arrows out my attic roof. I glue paper targets on the 18 in 1. I shoot mine with field points. I have a cheapo target from Walmart for broadheads. They blast right threw target and in behind I place a piece of 12" house Styrofoam that stops the arrow the rest of the way. Then I am not putting big cuts in my good 18 in 1. Outside in my backyard I use a Rag Bag for field points. CHEERS!

Pack well with old rags and you are good to go.

Thought I would update my status on target suggestions. Bought a 25 pound bag of white T-shirt rags for $25.00. Went to my friend at a Marine store and bought a piece of boat shrink wrap for $12.00(enough to do five targets). I am going to shrink wrap the rag bag, because that material will not tear and come apart when punctured. Have a pkg. of shoot-n-c adhesive targets that I will place on target once it is shrink wrapped. Will post pictures when complete.

You can't beat the bag of rags for field points.2 finger removal.i also use a morell crossbow bag target for field points around 45$. Holding up good . Hanging the bag will get you longer life out of the target. I also use the Reinhardt 18-1 for broadheads.stops em good from my 380, just gotta shoot different spots.i bought a defective one from Amazon or eBay for 75$ about a year ago.

This. Or as you did make the rag bag. Just pack it tight. You can't pack it tight enough. In my experience a Block won't stop my short Micro arrows quick enough. Also arrows are hard to get out becausae when they do stop the friction is so high it melts the target material to the arrow. Rinehart targets are MUCH better IMO....but I only use mine for BHs. FPs go into the bag.

Yeah Keith. The T-shirts are packed in to a 17" x 17" x 6" bundle that is so tight I can't compress it any more when I kneel on it. Should be OK
