Glen dell buck is killing all my arrows.
 

Ok I am at my wits end with this target. My buddy has one also with the same problem. This thing destroys arrows. If you hit slightly low like in the brisket area ( this is practicing at 40 plus yds.) It breaks the arrow everytime. Apparently The company who desigined this thought it would be a good idea to put a metal bar through there. I have no lie shattered 6 CX maxima hunters in this spot. My buddy has one and has broken about 4 gold tips. Our other friend has one , and guess what, same thing. Now don't get me wrong this is not a common hit for any of us, just happens once in awhile, maybe being a bit tired and dropping your arm after shooting for awhile. Either this is the issue, or my arrows are very fragile, as they are the only ones that have shattered. Now the above has taken about 3 months to happen, I am just venting, never had a target eat arrows like this thing does. I am seriously thinking of throwing it out and going back to a Mackenzie. Any of you experience this?

instead of throwing it out wouldnt it be easier to take a sawzall and as a last resort try to take the metal out?

Buy yourself a Morrell Bionic Buck... best 3D target out there, and your worries are solved. ;)

I'm sorry man, the smartie pants in me is coming out......Quit hitting that spot.....:D:D

I haven't heard anything about it myself, but to be honest, I don't know anyone that shoots one. That sounds incredibly aggravating though....

Hey Mobo, thanks for the advie buddy lol:DI think the target design is a great idea, I think this is definately a flaw in the design. Best of luck with your experience Bullet Hole. Greg, thanks for the info, I will check the Morrel out.

Questions for you guys with these targets....

What happens when you're shooting broadheads and don't hit the layered foam area of your target?

Wha happens when you shoot BH's into the layered portion from an elevated position? Does it damage the layers......due to the angle?

In the full rut one you switch the vitals to where they are vertically grained just for that.

Guess I've just been lucky...been shooting mine (I don't have the Full Rut, regular version) for about a year and no problems to report.

Stop hitting the brisket! Youre not supposed to be hitting the brisket anyway!
