Wife called me at work and said she got me a treat. Came home and found an Ibex waiting for me:) I am blessed to have her in my life.
I need a good target now. Any recommendations?

Now are you going to take that "Simply Perfect"label off and put it on your wife.
At the very least this should call for a nice bunch of flowers

Wecome to the forum & congrats on your new excal.
I use a Morrel yellow jacket but it's only good for field points. Easy arrow pulling & after shooting for a year it"s still good to go.
Hunt safe, Hoagy

Cabela's has a good selection. Free delivery and their quick.
Morrell or Mackenzie or their own brand are all pretty good. Something between 599 -99$ will last ya'.
Happy huntin and shootin'.

Thanks everyone. I'm very grateful to have her in my life- she's wonderful woman. Planning on reciprocating the gesture
Hopefully I'll be able to get a target this weekend or next and get acclimated to shooting it.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!!
My wife picked up an Ibex for my birthday last year. Great day, great crossbow and another reminder that God made me husband to the perfect woman for me.
Enjoy your present ... I have a feeling your going to love it.
All the best,
John
