    Many of you know back in April I went to work for a new target manufacturer and started working on the development of the targets. I haven't updated much or talked about the target line really at all on any if the forums. So, I thought I would update everyone and tell a little about 4 of our targets we will be releasing later this year. In addition to releasing we will be attending the ATA show in Indianapolis in January. We will have two booths, one being a shooting booth for everyone to come out and experience our targets.

    The first of the line is our target we named the Buck Tag. It's one I designed and have been testing for 4 months now. We have finalized the art and the internal components. It has a 22" shooting surface. It incorporates a system that reduces bulge and makes for very easy arrow removal. The cover has a zipper flap on the bottom for easy cover replacement. The zipper is rated for 300lb so it isn't a flimsy zipper that will break. Retail is $59.99

    The next one is the Robin Cube. It measures 19" cubed. It features a solid bonded foam core that is patent pending. It has 6 true shooting sides and is the same core as our Moose, Lil John backstops and Lil John Tower shown below. A unique feature is a zipper flap on the bottom which allows for the flap to be unzipped and opened for broadhead shooting. This target is crossbow tested and approved. Retail is $109.99

    The Moose is our flagship home target. It is a field point and broadhead target. It is also able to be shot on all 6 sides. It features a self heeling flex shield armor coating. With this the foam doesn't heel, rather the exterior closes back once the arrow is pulled. It is also crossbow approved. The picture shown is a picture of our Broadhead testing side. The center has taken 152 Muzzy 4 blade with a total arrow weight of 495 grains. The target is 19" cubed and has yet to have more than 15" of penetration. I will continue to to shoot broadheads at it until one blows completely through. This was done after 900 field points were shot into the side right beside it. It will come with a carry strap with 2 heavy duty handles attached. Retail will be $179.99

    The Lil John Tower is a hybrid home/range target. It measures 19"x19"x48". Used in a shop setting the target can be rotated and flipped to increase the targets life. Multiple towers may be stacked to make a solid backstop and do not require to be strapped or compressed. The Lil John Tower can be stood up as a tower or laid on it's side for two shooters to have friendly competition. It also features a heavy duty zipper flap for easy cover replacement.
    Retail is $219.99

    So that's what I've been up to. Helping design and test this incredible target line can honestly tell everyone the cube targets are the best targets I have ever shot. I believed in these targets so much I left a good job to pursue this project. You honestly have to shoot them to believe them.

    Looks like that Moose really stands up to the abuse

    Yes it does and the Robin cube is made of the same material. The covering is the big difference on it.

    Update on the Buck Tag Field Point Target. I reconstructed the internals and so far testing is going well. Very well actually. I was able to reduce the weight from 30lb to a mere 18-19lb. It has a better shape to it and sits flatter if using it without a stand. The test subject is holding up much better than I would have thought by simply changing the combination of internal components. We will have our covers in stock by December 15th and start full production and prep before then.
    Here is a better picture of the Moose:
