bad day with the block

I went out to test the slick trick and boltcutter broadheads that I just bought. I have been using "The block" broadhead target. I made a bad shot with one of the boltcutter broadheads and the arrow lodged in the bag target I had behind it. Normally they just pass right through the bag target so I was pretty surprised. I decided to move my block target to a new location and had it completely fall apart on me when I picked it up. The blades of the boltcutter had cut both of the straps on the left side of the target as it passed by:( Apparently these straps are what keeps the many layers compressed. Has anyone else had this happen? In my testing, the boltcutters flew better than the slick tricks.

Bummer but nothing a couple ratchet straps won't fix.

Kindly explain "flew better".....your off-target hits have me wondering. (A satisfied Slickster.)

What type of arrows are you using?

I was using a firebolt. What I meant by "flew better" was how tight the groups were. I have made bad shots with montecs, wasp, slick tricks, american sonic, and boltcutters:( I am not trashing the slick tricks. They are very well made. I think I must have moved right before pulling the trigger. Honestly, I get to shoot at most once a week.
