Tughill Tamer Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 My boy and I have been shooting the same block target now for 2 seasons and the target is beginning to get worn out and we decided how much more realistic and fun it would be to shoot at a life like target so we are beginning to shop for 3-D deer targets.I have heard stories from people that I know with them and done enough research online to know that they come in all different sizes, prices and quality.Some of the negatives I'm hearing about some of them is they are way to small, the replaceable vitals don't fit properly,arrows don't remove easily and that they are made so cheap that one shot off target could snap off the cheaply made legs.I don't want to break the bank for one but would like to find one of decent quality for around $150 any advice? Also do you have to buy one of the stands they sell, or would the steaks that come with them be enough to keep it upright?and how long typically does the vital section last before it needs replacing?Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trial153 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 My rhinehart broadhead buck has treated me well. Had it for several years and it's still in very good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of price tag comes with that? So you can shoot broadheads into it? I thought you could only shoot fieldpoints into most?Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem shooting broadheads, the insert replacement is very reasonable as well. I had a delta that was completely junk, lasted like a two year and started coming apart. The other target I have that is decent is the woodland buck, you can pick them up for a bit over a hundred shipped. I have shot both broadheads and field points with it. It's a good target.

Tughill Tamer Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thanks 153 I will definitely look into the woodland buck sounds like it's in my price range to!Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Which ever one you get ,try to keep it out of the elements when not shooting. The sun beats the crap out of that foam and breaks it down quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I always felt the strutting Tom gives you the most bang for your buck, it can be shot from four different directions. Also there are guys out there that repair them now and do a pretty good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk for shooting at a 3D target that's a deer that was going to be my recommendation. it won't be big but keep in mind even a mature buck doesn't stand that tall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Glendell full rut, I shoot thousands of arrows a year and mine lasted 5 years with as many inserts, just broke down and bought a new one last week. If they keep making them that's what I'll shoot for the rest of my life.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
