Do you shoot broadheads in your 3d targets?
Check manufacturers recommendations on the insert. If it's rated for broadheads, shoot away. If not, prepare to buy a new target before long! LOL!
Some 3-d targets are for target ranges only due to the makeup of the foam. I have always liked the confidence of shooting at 3-D with broadheads mimicking a hunting shot. Fred bear and Paul Schafer I have read shot at cardboard cutouts of animal silhouettes with sand or dirt backstop.
I usually shoot something other than my 3D with broadheads.
Milk jug filled with sand, works well, doesn't last. Straw bales, those compressed ones from tractor supply. Very tight. Lost a head or two in them. 🎯
Only once or twice before season to make sure they are still flying true. Don't want to chew them otherwise.
I have found styrofoam blocks like those that support house boats or floating docks to be ideal. Lots of river down south and after floods these block find their way into the woods. Broadhead removal is easy and the targets hold up well. The 3D option can get expensive in a hurry even with a replaceable insert. I have done cardboard backed up by my neighbor's pond levee as well
I use big blocks of styrofoam with a dot in the middle. Works well. I had an old foam target that we used only for broadheads in the fall, but it only lasted a few years.
I also use dock foam for broadhead shooting. 3D targets are too danger expensive to tear up with broadheads.

I only shoot broadheads and don't own field tips so with that being said, yes, I shoot my 3-D targets with broadheads. It can be expensive. I also found out over the years that Rinehart and GlenDel 3D targets hold up the best when shooting broadheads.
No, its just too expensive.
