Title: 3D target
Post by: Seahawk12 on November 09, 2014, 09:17:11 PM: I just bought a new Diamond Razor edge for my 9yo daughter that she will receive for Christmas. I hope to have her ready to hunt within 1 or 2 years. With that in mind, I am thinking about buying a 3D target for both of us. Currently, I have a regular Kenzie shotblocker target. This is a good target for me, but I think that a 3D model may really help my young lady learn to focus on the vitals area. Plus, they just look more fun to shoot at.
I saw this on Amazon:

Anybody have any experience with this model and or company?
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just don't shoot high or even close to a leg...huge pieces of steel in there make a mess of your arrows :chuckle: That price you posted is a really good deal :tup: Watch out for sneaky freight charges

Post by: Seahawk12 on November 26, 2014, 08:36:09 PM: I hear you Florida. I've been considering joining a range. There is one 15 minutes from me. I still will want to continue shooting in my back yard as I have lots of space there.
You are probably very correct RadSav. My girl will most likely need a much bigger target for a while. I will probably have to put off a 3d target for several months, at least.
Thank you all for your feedback. It's much appreciated.
