Default 3-D Targets--what kind?

What brand target do you like best? Which one has your club found to last the longest? I'm looking into purchasing some for two different clubs, and of course we are looking for the best bang for the buck. Thanks in advance!

McKenzie's are the cheapest and most popular, but guys I've talked to whose opinion I value believe the Reinharts last longer. They're also softer and seem to heal over from the hits better than McKenzie.

Forgot to mention, the Rhinehart's (thanks arrowsmit for the spelling) come with an extra replacement kill zone.

Rienharts and McKenzies are the most popular around here. I really like shooting the Delta's with the oval replacement core. The 10 & 12 rings stand out like a sore thumb.

The McKenzie HDs are good targets & last well. Didn't like the Blueridge line at all.

I like the McKenzie's quite abit, I have one of their boar tagets that I have patched together, but I have shot this thing over 4,000 times. I bought an Aim Rite deer last year, and it didn't last long at all. Ordered a Delta backyard buck two weeks ago, will see how it fairs.

The new McKenzie matl' is going to be good. Same shaped midsection's just a new rubber. Kind of like the Rhinehart's

This should have gone to this thread, mistakenly posted it to another thread. Just my .02 on 3-D targets.

I would stay away from Blueridge. Hard to pull out arrows and dosen't hold up.

I bought a Delta at the end of last season on sale, shot field points and broadheads into
it all spring and summer. It is holding up well to shooting but the sun is breaking it down.

The plastic legs look it they can't take too many wayward shots, so shooting my recurve
from long distances is hard on them.

The archery shop by my house uses a variety of brands, they are all getting beat-up
pretty good from the use. McKennzies, Rineharts and Deltas. The Rineharts seem to be the better made.
