    im looking to buy a target to practice on during the summer...what would be a good target that will last along time and can have broadheads and field points shot at it...also what time of the year would be the best time to purchase??

    anytime my old one wears out is a good time to buy ...

    as far as what kind, I like my 18-1

    exactly how big is the 18-1?? it says 15x15x15 but if thats the whole thing then one "square" is not very big at all...im deciding between a "block" target and the 18-1 now...thanks

    I would purchase a target during the off-season, as they will probably be cheaper. They are way more abundant in the season, though.

    There's sales all times of the year, but this time of year as the seasons wind down, you will start to see clearance sales at the big box stores. D*ck's has a Sit N Climb for $300 right now for instance.

    I think for a FP/BH target, the 18-1 is a great option. I prefer separate targets for BHs and FPs, but I still may give the 18-1 a try when either my Field Range or Yellow Jacket BH target wears out (which ever one goes first :D).

    this will be my 2nd year of archery..technically my first "off season" so i have not had my own target to shoot at and it will have to be something that is of good size until i hone my skills :) im not sure if the 18-1 is big enough... :(
