The durability is as advertised and more. I've put 1500-2000 arrows in mine and it is unbelievable how well it is holding up. In that many arrows I am guessing I've only used 10-15% of the target's life. For $100 you can't go wrong. The only qualm I have with the target is it is somewhat difficult to pull out the arrows with one hand when you shoot a fresh side. Other than that, I highly recommend it and will be buying another one when this target finally does expire.
Funny that you should post this, I've been seriously looking at buying one of these. I've been a little skeptical because of the price though. Its good to hear about its durability. I may end up biting the bullet and getting one.
Do it Phillip. You won't regret it. This target even takes BH's very very well. Edit: Like I said. Just be ready to pull hard with the first few arrows on each side of the target till it gets broke up a little bit.
A friend of mine was trying to cash in on a warranty they had that you couldn't get a pass through on it within a year of shooting. He was close but I don't think he made it, even using broadheads most of the time.
Just to clarify. To qualify for the warranty, you must have a pass through on all 18 sides of the target within 1 year of purchase. Based on what I have seen from this target, it would be mighty hard to do.
I'll second what Brad says , these 18-1 targets are amazing . I',ve had mine for 18months and i still have faces that ain't been shot at yet .... BUY ONE
Mine is over a year old and still going strong. I shoot it on an almost daily basis. When I'm done with this one I will get another. Something else I like about it, I can throw it by the rope handle, maybe "bowl" it would be a better description. And then shoot at it where it comes to rest. That is a great way to help me judge distance rather than just putting the target out and ranging 20-30-etc. I can also hang it from a rope and swing it. Easy moving target, although not always easy to hit.( If you do this be aware of your backstop. I use three round bales.)
This is the great thing about a site like this. I have been in the market for a new target and my mind is made up. Thanks for the good info.
yea im glad this got brought up! Me and my friend shoot all year long for at least 5 hours a day sometimes and i heard theres a warranty that you cant shoot them out in a year or you get your money back is this true?
No, you get another free 18-1 target. But not your money back. All 18 sides need to have a pass through to qualify. I've heard of people trying to do it and they could not in one year.
Sounds like a solid target, not quite big enough for me as alot of times I have a few buddies shooting with me and we all shoot at different dots on my block. I have been impressed with my block for the amount of shots it's taken. The 18-1 might just be my "travel" target. Thanks for the comments on it.
