10 Best Crossbow Targets for Field Points, Broadheads & High-Speed Bows

The biggest advantage of the Infinity is versatility. Many high-speed bag targets are excellent at stopping field points but specifically exclude broadheads. That is fine for most summer practice, but it forces a hunter to own a second target when it is time to confirm broadhead impact. The Infinity eliminates that problem for most shooters.

Its PolyFusion construction uses friction between layers to stop the bolt rather than simply trying to absorb all of the energy in one dense wall of material. Just as important, you get six shooting faces. Rotating the block and moving your aim point around helps extend the useful life of the target.

The crossbow-specific Infinity comes in 16- and 20-inch sizes. The larger version gives you more margin for error when sighting in at distance, while the smaller model is easier to move. Either way, this is the target we would choose if we wanted one block to cover the widest range of normal crossbow practice.

The jump from a 400-FPS crossbow to one pushing 500 FPS is not trivial from a target’s perspective. Higher speed and heavy hunting bolts can drive deeper into an underbuilt target, and repetitive shots to the same area can shorten target life quickly.

BIGshot’s Iron Man Kinetic 650 is built for that problem. Its rating of 650 FPS and 250 foot-pounds of kinetic energy puts it at the top of this list for raw stopping capability. BIGshot also gives shooters 95 aiming points, which encourages you to spread shots around rather than destroying one center bullseye.

This is not the target to buy for broadhead tuning. It is a specialized field-point target for high-energy crossbows — and that specialization is exactly why it earns this category.

The Kinetic 1.0 is a very different target from Morrell’s smaller portable bags. Its 65-pound weight tells you what it is meant to do: sit at the range and take repeated shots. That makes it a strong fit for the crossbow owner who practices frequently from a fixed backyard setup.

It is also important to correct an older description of this target. Morrell currently lists the Kinetic 1.0 as a 21 x 15 x 20-inch target with no FPS limit, not as a small 500-FPS cube. It remains a field-point-only target, so broadheads belong somewhere else.

For a serious practice setup, that tradeoff is easy to understand. You give up portability and broadhead compatibility in exchange for a heavy target designed around high-volume shooting.

A lot of broadhead-capable targets are bulky. The BIG High Roller is appealing because it gives hunters a more manageable 16-inch cube without dropping all the way down to a light-duty practice target.

Morrell rates it to 500 FPS and allows both field points and broadheads. The six-sided layout also gives you 21 bullseyes, so there is little reason to keep pounding the same center. Rotate the target, change faces and move your point of aim to get more useful practice out of the foam.

If you regularly check broadhead flight at camp or want something you can move around the yard without wrestling a large bag target, the High Roller is one of the most practical options here.

The most economical target is not always the cheapest thing on the shelf. It is the least expensive target that safely fits your equipment and how you shoot. If your crossbow is in the 350- to low-400-FPS range and your normal practice ammunition uses field points, the Yellow Jacket YJ-425 covers the basics without forcing you to pay for capacity you do not need.

Its 21-inch face is large enough for normal sight-in work, and the internal frame lets the bag stand on its own rather than requiring a dedicated hanging rack. Ten bullseyes across two sides also give you room to move shots around.

The obvious limitation is speed. If your bow is capable of exceeding 425 FPS, move up to a target specifically designed for that performance rather than assuming the bag has extra margin.

Target size matters more as you stretch the range. At 20 yards, a compact cube is easy to hit. At 50 yards while confirming a new optic or working through an unfamiliar reticle, a larger backstop gives you considerably more confidence.

That is where the Hurricane Category 5 stands out. Its 25 x 25-inch face is one of the largest in this guide, and current product information lists the bag for field-tipped shots up to 650 FPS. A self-standing internal frame makes setup simple, while grommets give you the option to hang it.

This is a field-point practice target, not a broadhead block. For high-speed sight-in work and repeated range sessions, however, the combination of face size and stopping power makes it a strong choice.

Shooting the same bullseye over and over gets stale. The Double Duty 450 changes the practice session by putting several types of target faces on one cube, including nine-ball, a dartboard-style face and deer-vital graphics.

That variety has a practical benefit beyond entertainment. Small aiming points force you to execute the shot instead of simply trying to land somewhere in a large center. It also makes it easy to set up friendly competitions with another shooter.

The important correction here is that the Double Duty 450 is an archery target for field-point arrows and crossbow bolts. It is not a firearm target. Keep it within its intended 450-FPS archery use and it becomes one of the more enjoyable options in this roundup.

Broadheads are hard on targets. Rather than pretending otherwise, the better strategy is to buy a target with a lot of usable material and then spread your shots across it. The Titan 10X HD takes that idea to an extreme with 10 shooting sides and more than 150 aiming points.

BIGshot developed the HD version for the demands created by 505-FPS-class crossbows, making it a much more logical partner for a modern flagship bow than a general-purpose foam block intended for lower-energy archery equipment.

If you only fire a handful of broadheads before hunting season, a smaller cube may be all you need. If you tune broadheads regularly, test several heads or shoot crossbows for much of the year, the Titan’s extra surface area becomes easier to justify.

The Speed Trap occupies much of the same territory as the BLOCK Infinity: it is a high-speed foam target designed to handle field points and both fixed and expandable broadheads. That makes it a useful one-target solution for hunters who do not want a separate bag for practice and foam block for broadhead verification.

Its 20 x 18 x 20-inch footprint gives you a generous face, while four usable sides allow you to rotate the target and avoid concentrating every bolt in the same place. If availability or price makes the Speed Trap a better buy than our overall pick, you are not giving up the most important capabilities.

Delta McKenzie’s SpeedBag 24 Crossbow Max is built for shooters who want a substantial field-point target rather than a compact travel cube. The 24-inch square face gives you plenty of room when sighting in at longer distances, and the high-contrast graphics remain easy to pick up through a scope.

The bag is rated to 525 FPS, which puts it in the right neighborhood for nearly all mainstream hunting crossbows. At roughly 50 pounds, however, it is more “move when needed” than truly portable.

If your target is going to live in one area of the yard and most of your shooting is with field points, that added size is a feature rather than a liability.
