Default Still in the market...

i need a new target.... i want something thats gonna last,(coming from a person that currently has a wore out "riverbottom buck" and wore out "bass pro block") I shoot a lot, I shoot 3d and and bow hunt.

I need to know what you guys would recommend. I really want a glendale, but not sure if its gonna be the "best" for me as would possible a Morrell bag. IDK and i dont wanna break the bank, i thought maybe another cheap 3d to get ready for hunting and a nice bag/block style for summer fun.

Check out the Rinehardt 18-1 targets. They will cover field tips and broaheads, with an awesome system.


If not, go with a Morrell Bag, and a Morrell Broadhead target.

Man I like different targets, but for almost 2 full years I shot broadheads into my yellow jacket and I shoot a LOT as well. The RB buck sucked... it was like 6 weeks and done. I haven't tried the 4x4 but may give it a whirl...

The longest lasting targets I have seen are bag targets, on one condition... you CANNOT leave them out in the elements... especially the direct sun... it will eat them up. Good news is.. replacement bags run about $15. They ain't exactly a lot of fun... and you are restricted to fieldpoints... but they will last a long long time.

Get a Morrel Outdoor range and put a roof over it,it will last years if you rotate it ever so often.

A Bag Target is the best choice for everything but Broadheads.

I may have to give my bag target a roof as well. Good idea

None of them last forever if you shoot alot!
I've wasted my block target in less than 1 year. I have resorted to spray painting new dots on the areas that are not shot up.
