The BLOCK
Black is the most advanced archery target ever made BLOCK
Archery Targets have always
touted a combination of easy arrow removal and long target life. It was
these attributes that first put BLOCK
on the target map.
The quest for a better BLOCK In an ongoing effort to improve
target performance, streamline manufacturing and reduce or eliminate
unsightly product blemishes caused by internal banding, BLOCK
engineers
discovered a revolutionary process they call PolyFusion
.
The two substrates used to make a
four-sided BLOCK
are polyurethane and polyethylene. Polyurethane is
what is on the outside of the target. It is formed by combining two
chemicals that, when mixed, expand dramatically. Polyethylene is a
petroleum based product that comes
in the form of small beads that are
melted and, with the introduction of a blowing agent, are transformed
into the target’s inner layers of Friction Foam
.
Fusing polyethylene layers and polyurethane shell eliminates need for banding, wood Managing these internal layers in the
manufacturing process has always been a challenge and has necessitated
the use of banding and planks of wood to assure compression. Compounding
this issue is the fact that polyethylene and polyurethane do not mix
well. This is where
PolyFusion
Design comes into play. A
proprietary process that molecularly fuses these two very independent
substrates, PolyFusion
eliminates the need for both the wood and
banding for compression. This, in turn, eliminates the product
blemishing that was being caused
by the bands.
No wood means a lighter weight target Eliminating the wood and banding also
means eliminating weight from the target. This is important both for
the smaller targets that bowhunters like to carry with them and the
larger targets that tend to be moved around in the backyard.
PolyFusion Design also enhances target performance It wasn’t until this BLOCK
target
was performance tested that the residual benefits of PolyFusion
became
apparent. Amazingly, this lighter weight target, that solved so many
manufacturing problems, also performed better than any previous BLOCK
target. A LOT BETTER!
Easy Arrow removal! Fusing the internal layers to the
inner target wall results in more uniform layer compression which, in
turn, means easier arrow removal. The fact that arrow removal is easier
than any previous BLOCK
target is truly remarkable. And, easier arrow
removal means less shooter fatigue, which means you’ll get
more and better practice!
Longer target life! PolyFusion
also results in longer
target life. Because the layers are fused in place, they hold their
position. Arrows find their way between layers. Previously, when an
arrow hit a layer head-on, the layer would buckle. This resulted in
layer damage that reduced target life.
Once again, it is the magnitude of
the improvement that is so remarkable. Performance testing verified that
the BLOCK
Fusion
lasts twice as long as previous BLOCK
targets!

)...I'll admit, it is a light target in a sense of *for light power bows* and I wouldn't shoot a broadhead through it.
