    Whats a good, long lasting bow target? Looking at the more "rubberized" targets something that can take a lot of use and abuse and still retain my arrows and not damage them.

    I would get a Rinehardt 18-1. Best target on the market I think.

    Just bought this not to long ago because I was tired of spending $40 on a target every 9 months. This Reinhardt has taken a good amount of arrows and doesn't even show a little bit of wear yet! So my vote goes to the Reinhardt 18-1 as well

    I have a block that I have been shooting at for at least 7 years. Many arrows it has taken it and still works great

    I bought a morrel bag last year late in the season and I never move it, I went to pick it up yesterday and the bag completely ripped off. I wont be purchasing another one of those.

    I'm glad this topic was brought up because I was going to post a new topic about it sooner than later. I am looking to upgrade my target from a foam block to something like the Rhinehart 18-1. How are you setting them up? Hanging from a tree with a backstop? Leaving it on the ground and shooting at whichever panel rolls toward you? What works best? Thanks.

    The Blob is the way to go. Not as easy to find but well worth it.

    I have an 18-1, even though I spent 3 times the price of a normal target on it. It will last WAY more than 3 times the length. I recommend it 1000% for a good buy.

    How do you use it? Let it roll around on the ground? Suspend it in the air with a backdrop? Any advice would help. Thanks.

    When you set it on the ground and shoot it, it stays in the same place. You can shoot it over and over and it doesn't move.

    Yea just leave it on the ground. Its pretty heavy for its size so it just stays put.
