    Well I finally blew the backside of my target out, so bad that I cant fix it. So, I'm moving on the newer and better things. Which 3D deer target do you guys use? I don't want to buy a small target either (like the Shooter Buck). The GlenDel buck is about the most expensive I'm wanting to buy. I'm a college kid who is buying a $200 pair of Tony Lama's and a $100 tank of gas the same day as a 3D target :cry:

    Any suggestions?

    I'm in need as well and have been doing a little research. It seems Rinehart may be the way to go but they cost a little more.

    I'd like to know more about this target. Doesn't have any reviews on Cabelas yet. It's made by Delta.

    The Rinehart targets sure were nice at the G2G, but dang they are expensive.

    Actually I just came across the Rinehart Woodland Buck for $130. Anyone got any experience with it?

    this is a good question iv honestly never had a 3D target last me over 2 months I bought the glendel last year and it was the worst investment ever lasted me a month but i also have a 32in draw length and shoot 72 pounds which equals 75 ft lbs of kinetic energy so thats probably the reason

    You must shoot a TON then, I have been shooting some other 3D targets all summer and have not had that problem. I have a 30" draw and shoot lower 70 pounds too. Interesting lol

    Honestly, right now I am leaning towards the glendel buck. ****s sporting goods has them in stock, which means I could pick it up tomorrow and not miss any practice.

    Reinhardt. Being hammering at one all summer and still looks great.

    Also had a thing going the other day on Blob targets. Cheap, but not a 3D style. But they do last from what I've heard.

    I saw this also. I'm in the market for a new deer target, and almost pulled the trigger on it but decided to wait and see if it got any reviews soon.

    I just tore up my last 3D target. I was practicing quartered away shots with broadheads and got one stuck in the knuckle of the neck. Pissed me off. I snapped an Axis and lost a Slick Trick in it.

    I might give it a shot. The only reviews I've read are from the ones that shoot broadheads into it...of course, chunks will come out.
