blueridge 3-d target ripoff
I just wanted to pass on some info. About a week ago I bought a blueridge deer target. The one with the replacment vitals. Well In about a weeks of shooting I am already haveing passthrews on it. I wrote them an email and they told me to take it back to where i bought it. They told me it should defently last longer than a week. I do not think they believed me about it!!! I offered to send them a digital picture and a copy of the reciept. Their customer service is good as there targets in my opinion. So I went and spent $20 more on the replacment vitals. So I am looking at it costing $20 bucks a week to shoot it??? Should have just got a rhinehart or mckenzie[:@]

LOL I know exactly how you felt. The worst part is it was only $15 less than the mckenzie. The dumb things people do to save a buck. But I did not save any thing I really have $5 more in it than if I bought the mckenzie because of the replacement vitals!!! Live and learn i guess

You' re kidding? I' ve got a Blueridge 3-D deer target I got two years ago and it is great! My buddies and I have shot it with carbons and aluminums over and over and over! I' ve never had an arrow go more than 3-4 inches in it. The foam is so tuff it' s almost impossible to get the arrows out without a rubber arrow puller. Sorry to hear of your bad luck but mine is great!

I grabbed a color defective Blue Ridge 3D target last month for $40. My friend, brother and I have shot the snot out of that thing over the last few weeks and I think it holds up just fine. I put it out in my yard with the McKenzie I own and we shoot at both.
Sometimes the vitals come out if you don' t hold it when you pull the arrow but that' s it. I think it is a great target for $40. I really have no complaints.
Are you shooting broadheads or fieldtips at it??

I am on my 3rd year w/ a blue ridge and it has held up quite well. I' ve shot both carbons and alum - typically shoot every other night in the summer - maybe 20-25 shots per night.
I typically replace the vitals 1-2 times over the summer/fall.
I' m just now starting to consistently poke through the back. For the $40 I spent, i am happy.
