Hey nice bow! We might have different xbows, but that's my favorite target, the orange McKenzy!! I took a piece of carboard the same size as the end w/ two black circles and cut holes the size of snuff cans to reduce the black. Aim small, miss small, lol. I tightened mine up all the way so my arrows don't go in to the vanes. How ya like yours??

well the target im not to fond of. Ive had it for 2yr its had maybe 60shots in it and i blow clean through it. If i shoot the targets on teh side it sticks my arrow in clear past the fletch and it doesnt stick out the other side. I found that out the hard way haha. The bag target is the way to go for fieldpoints. I dont know how im going to shoot my broadheads though [&:]if field points blow through that block broadheads would be scary. Maybe ill throw a hailbale behind it? My old bow did fine on the target but 250fps at 150lb with liek 50ft lb energy wasnt hard on it. the legend is 175lb i chrono'd it at 311 and its supposed to be putting out around 90ftlb its not to easy on the targets at all.

Prolly a dumb question, but did you tighten up the cables on the corners? there's another notch on top and bottom of each one on mine. I had to pry them out of the notch they were in, with a flat blade screwdriver while kneeling on the target to get them in farthest notch. Did that both top and bottom, the arrows outta all my bows only go in a little more than half way on the ends. I've got several hundreds of shots in them, I have two.

RE: My equipment.
 

yep got the cables tightened all the way down. Still doesnt make a difference. I think im gona go buy a block 4x4 give that a try. Im really disappointed in this target!

RE: My equipment.
 

Deerslayer, what broadheads do you use on the targets?

RE: My equipment.
 

my tried and true wasp hammer SST 100gr.

RE: My equipment.
 

Did you ever try flattening the cutting surfaces of the blades to slow down the penetration? You may have to limit yourself to shooting broadheads at 30 yard+ which of course would be good for sharpening your shooting skills.

Carefull there deerslayer, I was in your same boat last year and am still dissapointed. I have a Horton supermax 175 and it to blew through all the bag targets. I bought some of them hard cheap foarm targets at wal-mart and with two it will stop your arrow but you will NOT be able to get them out. I then bought a "block"target, the brown one made for cb's. It will stop you arrows fine, mine go in about half to three quarters of the way. The only problem with it is they lie about the one handed arrow removal. After I shoot I have to lay it on its side and use two hands and one knee to pull them out!!! Not what I expected for sixty five bucks!!

RE: My equipment.
 

any ideas on how to possibly make the target work. I just want it to throw a few broadheads in this fall to make sure everythings good. Would it help maybe setting some weight on the top of it to try to compress it more? im kind of at a loss. I took another pic of it today to show how bad of shape its in already. Im very disappointed[:'(]

RE: My equipment.
 

you could cut some 2x4 a few inches wider than the target 4 of them and get some all thread and washers and nuts and put 2 of the boards accross the top and 2 on the bottom after you drill holes bigh enough for the all thread to fit thru and put the all thread thru the 2x4`s and compress the layers even tighter then it should stop you arrows.. or if you have access to or know someone or some place that has the metal banding and and a pair of banders you could compress it tighter and band it, either method should work for you..

RE: My equipment.
 

thanks htoler. My father is a heavy equipment mechanic for a scrap metal yard im sure he could round me up some metal banding. I'll give that a shot see if it helps. Thanks for the advice.

RE: My equipment.
 

just make sure you get it compressed tighter than it is now, and hopefully you can do it in a way it can be adjusted so that if it needs to be tighter you can tighten it,, and your most welcome..

RE: My equipment.
 

ratchet straps work well. also paint some circles around the bullseye and shoot at them.
"dw"

RE: My equipment.
 

Deerslayer, heres one of "those" ideas. Might be making this into a science project tho, hehehe. Why not go with your dad to work and see if you can compress the target with a bucket from a loader backhoe, then band it? Or maybe there's a press at the shop? One thing you may have to do after compressing the poop out of it is spraying the arrow shafts with silicone or pam so you can get them out again.
