Default Broadheads ready to go!

I went out tonight and bought a target from Wal-mart for 28 bucks. Its a 4*4 block style target, even endorsed by Jackie Bushman too! LOL!! But I did not want to put the kiss of death on my Block target so that is why I bought it. I got dad shooting my Supermax 175 and again, it did real well with the Tekan II's. Then I put them on my Gold Tip II's and was just as happy! They flew great! I was spanking them in with no problem. They averaged about one inch low and to the left compared to my field tips. I am also still using the Nap Quick Spin Speed Hunters. I am not sure if I am gaining that much with them over the Miller Vanes. The only advantage I see so far is maybe a questionable amount of improvements, but they look pretty cool!! Also, the Wal-mart target is ok, but it will not last. One of my circles had a spot that had been hit the same about five times and I had a arrow pass through the target and stick out about ten inches on the other side. So it is a ok starter, one season target at best.

My sister bought me that block 4X4 target from Dicks sporting Goods the other week. Said they also had some 3-D deer targets on sale, but got that block one for about $30. It had Knight and Hale on the tag, and said it was for crossbow use and had a broad head and field tip side.

2 shots later one on each side I had 2 bolts to refletch. [:@]
One of the bolts was stuck in the middle of it with 3 inches sticking out the backside and required some serious pulling for removal.

She took it back to them for a refund. Now that I think about it, I wonder why my sister was being nice and got me a target. [&:]

That is another thing I liked about the Naps that I forgot to mention. The Horton 4" vanes were going into the target about half way, and then I had the wrinkle vane crap look. But the little Naps are real durable and did not distort. I am cresting with white paint right now and refletching three with the Naps. Sometimes I like my JoJan, and times like this the AZ looks nicer! LOL!!
