I use the Mackenzie Medium deer. Works well except the horses like to eat the ears....

I like shooting the block type targets cuz there's more target to shoot... the section on the 3D targets don't seem to last too long...

[Herbinator]

Yah, I use a Morelle (sp) Six Shooter block target as well. The 3-D target has a removable/replaceable kill zone. We've shot mine alot and it seems to be holding up quite well.

PS Tye,
How'd the yote hunt go?
PM me as I don't want to hijack GA's thread.

I like the Rinehart Targets.. Have shot both aluminum and carbon at them and Mackenzie's and I find the bolts easier to remove from the Rinehart's.. ..

I like the rhinehart targets, they can take a little more abuse than the Mackenzies.
When shooting these targets wipe the shaft with liquid Ivory hand soap, makes bolts a bit easier to pull out.

Has anyone used a Delta 3-d target? Just wondering how they hold up? Thanks,Al.

man them anit no cheap targets looks like i will get the glen del buck , i know things cost but i am on a tight shoestring hunting budget. thanks for the info guys.

the delta target wont hold up to xbow bolts unless you have something behind it to slow the penetration. the cheap 3d targets dont work well w/ x bow bolts. i use the morrel 3d target. easy 2 finger removal. dont use broadheads in this target--filed points only. that target cost me around $170 us dollars.

Thanks taxman. I was asking about the Delta target because Canadiantire has them listed in the hunting catalog/flyer they mailed out. Maybe will get one anyway to play around with for the compound.

I have used a Delta Riverbottom buck for 2 years now and am very satisfied for the price. I bought it at Walmart for $59.99. I also use a block target so its not the only thing getting shot at.

It stands up very well to the bolts from my 175# Exocet. The replacement vitals are $20

For practice with shot placement at a deer-like target and just for pure variation of something to shoot at, it works very well.
