Rinehart RhinoBlock Review: Six Faces, Broadhead Rated

The block target that takes fixed blades without turning into a crater.

Specifications

Specifications above come from Rinehart's published product features on the current listing. Treat pricing as approximate, since Amazon pricing moves.

What it does well

• Genuinely broadhead rated, which most block targets are not, and which is the reason to buy this one.
• Six faces means you rotate the wear instead of destroying one spot, which is what actually determines how long a target lasts.
• Two faces carry deer vitals, one outlined and one anatomical, so placement practice does not require a separate 3D target.
• 16 x 16 x 13 inches is small enough to carry one-handed and store on a shelf.
• Self-healing foam pulls arrows without the wrestling match a compressed-layer target eventually becomes.

Where it falls short

• Under $250 is a lot for a block, and if you never shoot a broadhead you are paying for the feature that costs the most.
• Broadhead practice wears any target quickly, including this one. Expect the vital faces to go first.
• A block is smaller than a bag, which means a stray arrow is likelier to pass beside it. Have a proper backstop.
• No published maximum arrow speed rating on the listing, so very fast crossbows should be confirmed with Rinehart.
• It teaches placement on a flat face rather than on a body, so it does not replace a 3D target for angled shots.

What owners report

Published owner reviews of the RhinoBlock are consistently positive on the two properties that decide whether a target is worth its price: arrows pull out without a struggle, and broadheads do not destroy it in a weekend. Owners repeatedly describe it as the target that made backyard broadhead practice practical rather than a way to write off arrows and foam at once.

The recurring complaint is price relative to bag targets, which is fair and easy to reason about. If your practice is entirely field points at spots, a bag target does that job for far less money and pulls even more easily. The case for a self-healing block is broadheads, and specifically the need to confirm that your broadheads fly with your field points before a season. Our practice broadheads versus field points comparison covers why that check cannot be skipped and how practice heads change the maths.

Owners also note the sensible habit of moving the aiming point around each face rather than stacking arrows in one hole, which extends the life of any foam target substantially. The four dot faces exist for exactly that reason.

If you are choosing your first target, the format decision matters more than the brand. Our bag versus block versus 3D comparison lays out where each one wins, the archery target guide covers the cheaper tiers, and if you want realistic body angles rather than a flat face, the Rinehart Big Jim is the 3D equivalent from the same foam.

Who it suits

• Bowhunters who need to confirm broadhead flight before a season.
• Anyone shooting in a yard where a compact, portable target is easier to manage.
• Archers who want deer vitals and dot practice from one target.

Who should skip it

• Field point only shooters, who should buy a bag target and spend the difference.
• Anyone wanting angled body practice, who needs a 3D animal.
• Very high speed crossbow shooters, without confirming suitability first.
