Pretty cool, doesn't look like it takes broadheads though.

I've got this one and i love it!

There was a post on this about a month ago, try a search and you will find it. Looks like one of our respected and knowledgable member is testing one with very good reports. It also preforms well with broadheads it appears. For sure this will be my next bolt stopper.

Hey, Stosh ...

I use PBB targets, and all I can say is that mine have made THE BLOCK look like a bath sponge by comparison.

Your mileage may vary, of course. :D

I haven't done a lot of broadhead shooting with mine, though ... but others report very good results.

You will need a shaft puller ... like Dan Miller sells.

Favorite targets are about like all preferences ... we're all different ... but I like my PBB targets lots ... I've got a Porta-Butt and a Spot-Butt.

I got both of mine before Karl had advertised a "crossbow" model.

He is, by the way, one SUPER nice guy ... he's done me right.

Goog luck and good shooting! :D :D

It sure isn't getting very good reviews.

This is one a friend of mine makes and sells to Cabela's It is a good target. A lot cheaper too.

The complaints on this target in the reviews are mostly that field points are hard to pull.

Hello!!
This is a BROADHEAD ONLY TARGET!

Anyone wanting a field point target should buy a bag target.

I have been using the Compound King and it has been holding up well and you can't beat the price at $39.95. It does take some effort to pull the arrows so I would recommend an arrow puller. It stops the arrows out of my Exocet at as little 10 yards with no penetration on the back of the target. But, as Woody said it is a broadhead target not meant for field points.
