Xbow Targets - 3D

[Bonner1]

I could not find any recent posts about Xbow targets so here is another question:

I cant find any info on the various sites (Delta, GlenDel, etc) as to whether their 3D targets are ok for Xbows. Do any of you know?

If not, who make the largest block or bag suitable for xbows (keep in mind I cant afford a $600 Morrell 4 x 4 indoor range block)? I just want something bigger than a small 18" x 18" cube - in other words something more with a bit more room or margin for error just in case something goes wrong.

Thanks.

I have shot Morrel's yellowjacket bag target fer field pts, got a bad supreme even tho it was new my arrows were going through it lost several & they hit rocks & trees ruined them. I emailed Morrel they had me take bag back it was shipped to them & sent the new CB yellowjacket bag. Said i wouldn' have that trouble again. I had yellowjacket prior to that that lasted about 4 yrs over 5000 shots in it before the arrows started going thru it. Most any well made 3-D target will hold arrows, Glendale McKenzie Delta. I have a riverbottom Buck thats 4 yrs oldalmost 5. This will be its last season. I have shot so many BH's in it you can see holes through it, I will find a thick bodied bear or hog fer my next one

I use a glendale buck as a target for my Tenpoint Xbow. It has held up really well and I am convinced that using a life like target makes me shoot deer better. As most everyone knows, shooting involves a lot of muscle memory and familiarization and shooting at a target that looks a lot like the animal I am after helps me out a lot. I also have a block target that I take with me to the property I hunt on so I can release my bow when coming out of the woods. It has also held up well.

That size is plenty big enough. Start out at 10 yds, then move it to 20, then 30, ect.

I've dropped enough loot on targets to pay for a new bow, lol. Here's what I've found.
[1] no more layered foam type for me. they sound good as you can shoot either fp's or bheads, but didn't stop my Emax arrows [ruined vanes]and shot apart in short order w/ bheads.
[2] big morrell bag targets for me, can spread the hits around on them and not wear a hole in any one spot.
[3] Rinehart 18-1 for bheads, but will work ok for those w/ fp's if you lube [some] carbons and/or have an arrow puller.
[4] trashed: [2] mckenzies, [2] Blocks, shot out [2-3] bags

I'm sure others have some notions on what has worked for them.
