    My targets have seen better days. I've been using mckenzies for a long time but the new ones with the plastic legs and the softer foam just haven't been working for me. I already shot the core out just this summer. Just wondering what everyone else is using out there.

    Can't go wrong with a Rinehart target. Have the Broadhead buck for my 3D and the 18-1 for my normal target. That self healing foam is awesome! Best thing about the broadhead buck is the body is all one piece. Only the insert is separate

    The block is worth the money, give it a shot and you'll have a great target for years.

    I buy a new target every year the day after Christmas when they are on sale at cabelas. It does not matter the brand if you shoot a lot you will wear them out

    I don't like my Rinehart 18:1. After a couple hundred shots I can not get my BH tipped arrows out of it. They slide easily but the BH gets caught in it. I called Rinehart and the said the inside (center) is shot out and there is a hole in it with loose pieces. A chunk must get behind the BH blades and it stops me from pulling it out. I had one in it for days trying to get it out with losing my Hellrazor and insert. I finally got it out buy pushing 2 old arrows without tips along side it and twisted and turned. I did that twice, that's enough.

    Rinehart told me I should buy their Rhinoblock ones with the replaceable core. Then I would only have to buy a insert instead of an entire target. The outside looks like its hardly used and the inside is mush. I can't get my BHs out and Rinehart want me to just buy another one of their products? I don't know about that, but I do know I will NOT buy another 18:1.

    I have an 18-1 ive used for 5 years. It looks like **** but it still stops arrows. I also have a new Rhinhart block as well. Its hard to pull arrows out of but it looks great after a summer of shooting. Havent tried the buck target. I like shooting at a 3D target but its not really worth all that money to me. I take my block with me in my truck all the time.

    I must not be the only one. The guy I talked to at Rinehart knew right away what my issue was.

    love my 18-1. Has anyone ever shot the handle and cut it? I try to shoot the other sides so I don't hit it.

    Block is a piece of junk. Would never buy one of those.

    Check out the great target review video done by GearFreak. Not sure why it isn't letting me add the video to this post. Check it out on youtube.

    yes I really need a reliable target that can hold up I shoot year round during the winter I shoot in my basement and in the spring summer and fall but I can shoot a block target out in under a year and I bought a Glen-del buck this july and I've shot it to pieces I've rotated, flipped, and spun the vitals around to get everything out of it that I could and I've bought insulation foam to slow the arrows down and to give me more out of the target to no avail. I shoot right around 20,000 + arrows a year so i could use some help in this department

    18-1 is an amazing target! Best one I've bought so far

    I didnt say you were the only one, just the only one I have ever heard. I have well over 10,000 shots into mine. Looks horrible, but works like the day I got it.
