Looking for pricing input from bowhunters

$19.99 and youll sell a ton of them

 

Sure, a dollar would sell them faster than we can make them to but its hoped the enterprise would net a profit rather than a loss.

 

I'll stick with Reinhart I can hit it with broadheads and feild points and they last forever. On your video the arrow work the field point seem to travel to far into the target in my opinion it won't hold up I shoot my Rinehart at 8 Ft with a halon 32 70 lb 29 inch draw with a broad head and field point and I'm shooting full metal jackets at 455 grains and they don't penetrate that far into my target and I've had it for almost a year with shooting it everyday in my opinion ethafoam doesn't hold up after time and tares up easily. I'd probably have to see one shot for over a year then give you a price point cause I'm not paying 200 for a target to last me 4 months only . I'll stick to my reinharts and bulldog targets I found these to companies to be the best also will your target have any guarantee like Rinehart or bulldogs one year shoot threw guarantee and you get a free one ? We need to see more input and specs on these targets so us one after a year of shooting hit that target at 8 ft and see what happens lol not trying to be an a** but we need more Intel on these to make a respectable price quote for your product. Also is it going to look that that or will there be color options or graphics printed on them you've left out alot of critical details on these but show us one after a year of testing then I'll give you my honest opion

 

This target looks modified to keep stopping heads lol look in the back at the extra foam and it's belted down to make it tighter so this target must be getting pass thrus

 

You are seeing several targets in that image. You are seeing the remnants of an old morel that the outer skin fell off and the target fell apart (seen in the lower right) and in the background is an old stacked version that was compressed with threaded rod and 2x4's and a 3 year old ethafoam we made that has been pounded (with no modifications at all) that is still stopping arrows are 3 years and continued weathering) Im not sure what "belted down" means but none are "belted down". The 3 year old ethafoam target is sitting on top of a small ethafoam target to raise it off the ground because of a slight rise in the back yard that makes the target hard to see when we shoot at 100 yards.



At the 17 second mark in this video you will see those targets. Its from last spring.

 

Here you see the rise in the lawn im talking about. We covered the ethafoam target with landscape fabric to make the arrow impacts visible from 80 and 90 yards since the white target and white fletching meant we could not film the impacts as we tested this new fletching. As I said. This target has been getting pounded for 3 years with field tips and broadheads

 

The video

 

This is very interesting to me because i have used three different targets that were broad head grade and they failed terribly i love the large surface at only 30lbs i would think anywhere from 200 or less as a price! good luck hope it sells big.

 

another video uploaded showing the cross section of a mid duty target.

 

If you know your cost to make each one, and what you consider a fair profit for yourself, why not just ask us, would you pay $_____ for this product? Not to be a wanker, but it seems to me you are feeling us out, to gauge just how high you can get away with pricing it.

 

Great input. WE know the costs. We know the margins we would like to see if we decided to take to market and that fine but rather than trotting out a price point to see if its acceptable, it made more sense to feel out the market to see what bowhunters think is a fair price point for the item described.

If it were asked, "Would you pay X for this?", the answers would likely be "yes" or "no", then teeth pulling asking "then what do you think is a fair price?" We hoped to avoid that.

 

I guess my rule would be cost should be 30 percent of the retail. If it costs $30 to make you should charge max price of $100. Start there and work out deals based on quantity. I wouldn't mess with different foam I would always use your toughest foam combination. Good luck and that's a neat set of broadheads, wouldn't mind looking at that closer!
