    Default Bow Targets

    Just wondering what you guys are shooting at / recommend in a target. Is there a good "dual" field point / broadhead target? or better to get one for each?

    Thanks.

    I bought a 'Hurricane Bag' today and have taken bout 50 shots already at it. Holds up good so far with 60 draw weight.

    The guy also showed me a target that was for broadheads and field tips for the same price (100$), but I liked the hurricane bag because it was bigger and has more targets ( one side a bunch of circles the other has a diagrahm of a deer heart, lungs and liver.

    The best is the 'Block'...will handle anything you throw at it for many years. If your using a high end crossbow get the specific block to handle the extra power.

    If your cost conscious, there are lots of competitors. I buy a knock off in the states for 1/2 the cost of a 'Block' that has served me well for many years.

    The beauty is that they are easy to carry, load and store. They allow you to pull your arrows back out with relative ease and your arrow isn't burying itself up to the fletching causing damage.

    Spend a bit more and get the Rhinoblock XL from Reinhart. I have the version that has the removable core. I am not sure if they make the target with a removable core any longer. Regardless, it is an awesome target. I have shot the hell out of mine for three years and I still wont beed a new one for many years to come.

    I checked it out quickly this morning, and the reviews were all really good, except for the guys using high poundage bows, with a 450+ grain finished arrow, they said they were blowing right through it, I am drawing 70# with a finished arrow at 471.7 I'll have to do some more re-search on it and contact the company.

    In the basement I have a burlap bag full of shrink wrap for field tips. For broad heads used the block and if you want to practice with broad heads at different distance I used to shoot off the dock into the water at anything that floats and would not damage heads. Ballons, tomatos, balls etc.

    I have one of those large Black Hole blocks. Wouldn't leave them outdoors in the sunlight. It slightly cracked on the one edge that isn't for shooting but other than that holds up great.

    I have the little green target for crossbow field point shooting. I dont do a ton of shooting, just for sighting in and Im very impressed with it so far, especially for the price.
