3D is for people who don't own boats.

I like Rinehart targets and the glendell buck. (easy arrow pulling)

I will say this I have heard of people saying they have used there targets for multi years but have never believed any of them until I shot a Bloc this year I am going to by the glen dale buck with the vital insert That thing should get me through 2 seasons I hope. I fnot is still better than spending 80 a year in vitals for a delta.

I just picked up a Morrell Wildfire Super Duper target....it isn't the large Outdoor Range target, but it is the size bigger than the Yellow Jackets and it has a white cover.

This is my first bag target, I got sick of wearing out Block-style targets......I will let ya know how impressed I am with it sometime tomorrow when I get it set up in my basement.

I shoot all year long in my basement, therefore, I am going to hang the Morrell bag from the rafters about chest level. Gonna build a paper tuning rack to put directly in front of this target when needed as well.

Should work out wonderful.

For broadheads, the Block 4 x 4 doesn't hold up. I basically demolished one of those and I am getting passthroughs on all four sides now.

I bought a cheap knock-off version of the Morrell Yellow Jacket Broadhead target that was made for Gander Mountain. I haven't shot it much, but it definitely works better than the Block at slowing down broadheads.

For outside use, I have a Glen-Del Full Rut buck. So far, no real complaints. It handles broadheads pretty well, but I try to stick with field points and use the cheap Gander Mountain target for broadheads.

For 3D shooting, I don't think, again IMO, that there is any beating a Rinehart target both for durability and easy arrow removal. The Geln Del is fine, but only in the vitals area where the layers are. Rineharts are the same material stem to stern, so no matter where you hit it, same easy removal.
