Hey everyone, I am looking at getting "The Block" type or maybe a bag target. Anyone have anything different or better that wont kill the wallet? Thanks, Mack
http://www.bowhunting.com/shopping/Departments/Targets/Bag-and-Cube-Targets.aspx I am a tightwad but went with the Rinehart 18-1. It has been an outstanding value.
For a bag target to use with FP's I would get the Morrell Yellow Jacket. Takes a heckuva lot of shots before getting wore out and then all you need to buy is a new cover and it is like new again.
this, I've got one and they are virtually indestructo... slightly more money up front, but will last twice as long as any layered target i've seen
I have the block and my roomate has the YellowJacket and I got to shoot at them both and I really liked them both. The only difference was that I left my block out for two winters now and it is still going strong and his yellowjacket has sat out and it is having pass throughs now. I am sure if you keep the yellowjacket inside out of the weather it would last a little longer but I dont think it would out last the block.
I have the Morell block and bag and love them both. I don't leave them outside so I haven't had the problem that NRK talked about. But I have had them for a few years now and still in pretty good shape.
He should just by a new cover for the bag target. That will stop the pass throughs. It is also a good idea to compress the bag target now and then. Do this by just sitting on one side, bounce a little, rotate to another side, repeat for all 4 sides. I don't leave mine out but I don't think that is the issue.
I have a regular block and a 4x4 and love em both and I shoot alot and they are both about 4yrs old and have a ton of life in them...a backyard buck by Delta is also a good bang for a buck! I also have a yellow jacket bag and love it also! Hey u can get 2 morrel targets for under 100 bucks! Otherwise walmart has some good deals on decent targets!
I just bought a morrell yellowjacket bag target for like $50 and they're supposed to last a really long time. I'm happy with it so far, but I've only got a couple hundred shots in it.
The Shot Blocker is an AWESOME target. You cant/shouldnt shoot mechanicals into it but you can shoot broadheads. Ive got a ton of shots into mine and its not even wearing down yet. I love it. I paid 80.00 for mine.
