My buddy and I got together and shot this thing quite a bit tonight while I was cooking out for our families. He is shooting a compound launching carbons in excess of 300 f.p.s. This thing still did a great job stopping arrows and still provided easy removal. One of the things that is cool about it is that when it is hit with an arrow, the impact causes it to rotate some, and since arrows don't penetrate very far into it, a second arrow can safely be shot at it without worry of damaging the arrow lodged in the target. It is definitely not a "primary" type target, but it provides a fun break from shooting the usual bag/3-D targets.
