    I have been looking at getting a 3D target. I have buddy that has the GlenDel buck and I really like that target. It is at the price that I would like to be at($150). I am curious if anyone has any other suggestions or likes any other targets better at the same or better price then the Glendel

    Thanks!

    The glendale is a great target especially for the price. The Rineharts IMO are a little better but they are more than twice the money.

    I have always liked the Rineharts too but for the price I would like to get a target sooner then later and down the road add a few more to it and will probably get a few Rineharts at that time!

    I don't see any reason to buy the GledDel Full Rut vs. the regular one but if I'm wrong someone tell me. I don't see why it is worth $50 more.

    I have two of the GlenDel's. Full Rut and the smaller regular one. I also have the Woodland buck by Rinehart. Pros and cons...
    Rhinehart not a bad value for the quality, arrows are rather difficult to remove, body is small like a 130 lb deer (not bad once you get use to shooting it), holding up well since I use one of these exclusively for my BH practice.
    Glendel full rut is a very nice target for the money, its big, and is very durable. it is IMO maybe to big. Can lob an arrow anywhere and its in the vitals but if you want to practice long range then you have a bit of wiggle room and save an arrow or two. The other Glendel is OK. My arrows go half way through and it seems delicate to me. The back strap on mine has broken. It wont stand up to a pounding. My next one will be the midsize that they offer.

    Just watching a tv show and they were talking about this target and said the insert alone makes a great travel target if needed. I don't know that I would have ever thought of that but another great reason to get one. Really like that idea!
