Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Best archery target that will handle field points plus broadheads

HI every body i am in the market for a new archery target i want it to be able to handle broad head shooting as well as field points and last for a while. thankyou for your help deershed

Probably the "block 4x4". I had a "black hole" which is made by the same people. It held up well but because it was open layers of foam it would sliver when shot with broadheads. The 4x4 is the same layered foam but it is covered with an out layer so that the slivers won't come out. That being said you can get two morrels targets for about the same price. A bag target that will last season after season with field points and a nice broadhead specific target.

The best thing I've ever seen is a big blob of "carpet backing". Apparently it's mad from the same material carpet backing is made from. It's heavy as all get out, but a 3 foot by 1 foot cylendar of that stuff will last for years. A local shop used to sell them for $40.

Rinehart 18-1 by far.......

Tried a TON of targets before this one.....try it and you wont be dissapointed!

"The Blob" is supposed to be one tough target, i say supposed to because i have never owned one, its the one thats made from a foam product and its kind of blob shaped.

I have used a block for a while now and it holds up well to broad heads and field points

That's a positive endorsement. Are they available in the US? I've not heard of them before. Cabelas? Archery shops?

best,
bhtr

I got mine out of the US actually....but bought it second hand. I'd imagine most bigger archery shops would carry it. They have a warranty on them for 1 year that you cannot shoot them out. I have put a PILE of arrows into mine so far and I beleive it.....they are one heck of a tough product!

Another vote for the 18-1. They are available at many archery shops in this area, Washington State.

And another vote for the 18-1. Guaranteed for a year. http://www.rinehart3d.com/18-1-guaranteed.aspx

Rinehart for me.
"The Block" costs too much because they've had to foot the bill for so many "Block Parties". LoL.

I use an 18-1 as well. It is not as big as block targets, so the margin of error is smaller. It makes a very nice portable target and is easier to stow with all the gear in the back of the pickup truck than the block targets.

Another vote for the 18-1 rinehart. So far the best by a mile in my opinion. Found mine at a Bass Pro Shops for $90.

If you don't have a place to get the Rinehart 18-1 locally I would suggest contacting Mike at Mikes Archery Leather. I have purchased the 18-1 and other Rinehart targets from Mike with good prices and service.

The targets are not on his website but he is a dealer.

One more vote for the 18-1, i've shot the crap out of mine and it still has tons of life left in it. I bought mine at the local archery shop but you should be able to find one online.

I've been shooting a Blob for 2 yrs and it is still good.

Another 18-1 user. I got tired of buying the other have been trying to shoot mine out for a year now. It isn't going to happen.

I like my 18-1 as well. The only downside is it takes a pretty good pull to get the arrows back out of it.

gotta go with the rest and give a big thumbs up to the Rhinehart 18 in 1. however, i must say i really like my Rhinehart deer target as it gives you the removable vital and a more realistic shooting scenario for hunting. you can't beat the 3D range for the best practice of all. while you're at it check out the new EPEK mechanical heads at
