Best target to buy for broadheads?
« on: July 21, 2012, 08:44:13 PM »
I am looking to get a new target for practicing.  Point me in the right direction.  What are your opinions?  Is there any target on the market that can take 1000+ shots with broadheads?  thanks  :archery_smiley:

Reinhart 18 sider or 18 in 1 cant remember what its called!  No two ways about it....mine has lasted nearly 2 years with a lot of broadhead shooting! Add to that a one year full replacement guarantee and it cant be beat!  :tup:

I've never tried a Reinhart but that 18 in 1 sure looks like a small target. I'd hate to miss it and cringe as your broad head slams into the rocks behind  :bash:

I've had a $100 The Block for three years and while its approaching the end of its life it has taken a few hundred broad heads and many thousands of field points. Later on in its life you can definitely see the wear that each broadhead shot exhibits. Nevertheless, I am very pleased with its performance.

I do not know of any broadhead target that will hold up to 1000+ shots.  Unless you get a very big one and never shoot at the same place more than a couple of times. Or you are a really bad shot :chuckle:  You can shoot into sand bags and just replace the bags, but that is very tough on arrows.  Bag targets stuffed with raw cotton will last for 1,000+ arrows, but it will take restuffing into new bags quite a few times.  And pulling the arrows out can be a B*^ch as the cotton balls up around the broadhead. 

I bought a gaylord of raw cotton and a bundle of 36X36X20 cardboard boxes once.  Lined the back of the box with burlap bags and stuffed 'em pretty tight.  Those probably lasted longer than anything.  Though I think I spend about $400 in freight getting the gaylord to Washington from Mississippi.  Weight was about 500 pounds.

The best portable foam broadhead target that I have used has been the King series from American Whitetail  http://www.archerytargets.com/Kingbraodheadtargets.aspx

But 1000+ shots...I don't see it happening in a portable foam target.

sheet of ply works for me, after all i shoot innerlocs :chuckle:
pink foam works for me.  cut in in fourths duck tape it and it stops your arrows well.  no need to buy expensive when you can live high on the hogs with cheap.
