An 18-faced, 15-inch foam block that takes field points, broadheads and crossbow bolts, with a handle for the range, backyard or camp. Here's where it fits and where a bigger target wins.
Quick verdict
The Rinehart 18-1 packs 18 faces into a 15-inch block of solid self-healing foam, so you can rotate to a fresh side long before the target wears out. It takes field points and broadheads, handles crossbows up to 500 FPS and has a handle for carrying it to the range or camp. Its compact size is the trade-off: it's a tough, versatile practice target, not a big backstop for shooters who still scatter arrows.
Pros and cons
What we like
- 18 faces spread wear across the whole block
- Takes field points and broadheads in the same target
- Crossbow approved and built to stop arrows up to 500 FPS
- Solid self-healing foam closes up after arrows are pulled
- Easy-carry handle makes it simple to move between spots
- Made in Janesville, Wisconsin by a family-owned company
What could be better
- 15-inch faces leave little room for error at longer distances
- Broadheads wear any foam faster than field points do
- Dense, arrow-stopping foam can make pulls take real effort
- No 3D animal shape for vital-zone practice
Key features, explained
18 faces on one block
The 18-1 is an 18-sided block, and each face carries highly visible target zones. That layout is the point: instead of hammering one spot until it wears out, you turn the target to a fresh face and spread the wear across the whole block. You can also set it down on different sides to change the aiming spot and angle. For a practice target that has to survive a season of regular shooting, more usable faces simply means more life before it needs replacing.
Solid self-healing foam
Rinehart builds the 18-1 from its solid, signature series self-healing foam. Solid means there are no stacked layers to separate or seams for an arrow to slip through. Self-healing means the foam closes back around the hole after you pull an arrow, so the target keeps its shape and integrity. Rinehart says its foam takes hit after hit without tearing and quickly stops even the fastest carbon, aluminum or wood arrows without shoot-throughs.
Broadheads, field points and crossbows
Plenty of practice targets are meant for field points only. The 18-1 is broadhead capable, so you can confirm your hunting heads fly with your field points before the season opens. Rinehart also calls it crossbow approved and tough enough to handle up to 500 FPS, which covers a wide range of modern bows. Broadheads wear any foam faster than field points, so it makes sense to reserve a face or two for broadhead tuning and do most of your volume shooting with field points.
Compact and easy to carry
At 15 x 15 x 15 inches, the 18-1 is compact. Rinehart describes it as lightweight, with an easy-carry handle for moving it between the club, the backyard, the woods or hunting camp. That size makes it simple to toss in a truck, but it also means a smaller target face than a large block. Set it at a comfortable height on a stable base, keep a safe backstop behind it and move back gradually as your groups tighten.

Frequently asked questions
Can you shoot broadheads into the Rinehart 18-1?
Yes. Rinehart lists it as broadhead capable as well as field point compatible, and its solid self-healing foam is designed to take both.
Is the Rinehart 18-1 safe for crossbows?
Rinehart calls it crossbow approved and says it's tough enough to handle up to 500 FPS. Check your crossbow's speed against that figure before you shoot it.
How big is the Rinehart 18-1 target?
It measures 15 x 15 x 15 inches, with 18 separate faces and highly visible target zones. A carry handle makes it easy to move.
What does self-healing foam mean?
The foam closes back up around the hole after you pull an arrow, so the target keeps its shape and stopping power over many shots instead of opening into a tunnel.
Where is the Rinehart 18-1 made?
Rinehart says all of its products are made in Janesville, Wisconsin. The family-owned company has been making archery targets since 1997.
Final verdict
The Rinehart 18-1 is a compact, do-it-all practice target: 18 faces on a 15-inch block of solid self-healing foam, broadhead capable, crossbow approved up to 500 FPS and easy to carry by its handle. It suits hunters who want to practice with the heads they hunt with and take the target wherever they shoot. Newer archers who still scatter arrows should pair it with a backstop or start with a larger block.
