Title: Best Bag Style Archery Target?
Post by: lokidog on October 30, 2023, 10:55:10 AM: I'd like to do some shooting in my back yard. I have a block style target but it can be hard to pull the arrows out when shot from close distances like 15 yards. Being on crutches for a while, I'd like to find a target that I do not have to put my knee on to pull the arrows out. I do have my bow dialed back on the draw weight as it has been a while since I have done any shooting.

Thanks for suggestions.

That lifetime warranty costs in the end. $25ish to send me a new cover kit but, cheaper than a new target.
