Well i just got my 18-1 in... its a very sturdy target and i do like it thus far. Arrow removal was not quiet as easy one of the other targets i have, but it wasnt a pain. It stopped the arrows quick and the broadheads werent tearing it up at all... i think i will be happy with this purchase. I order Nockturnals for the first time. First one i shot, it worked great. Cut on and then switched it off with a field point with no issues. I tried it out 3 or 4 times it was fine. I shot the second one. It cut on great but I cant get it off. I tried my field point, a small knife with a good points, and a paper clip and i just cant get it off. The third one worked great. I tried a good bit with cutting the one off and have wallowed the hole out a little bit. I didnt want to do to much so maybe they will considered replacing it since it was literally the first time i shot the dang thing. Good news is i will be able to see how long the batteries will really last. But for $25 bucks i would have rather taken their word for it and have 3 properly functioning nocks.
If you contact them about it they should send you one, as for the target it will get easier to pull the arrows out the more you shoot at it, but it will stop the arrows just the same Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
