What target would you guys recommend that will take a beating from Fieldpoints? I shoot my Pheonix ALOT, but I only pratice with Fieldpoints. A couple sessions with broadheads every once in a while but not much.

My "BLACK HOLE" block target is just about dead. I'm gonna be looking for a new target soon and I want someone that will last very long and take a beating from my constant shooting. Mostly a field tip target. My BLACK HOLE i have had since about April I think.

A Yellow hammer Mini Slammer is a good target. Mine has lasted about 2 1/2 year and you can pull your bolts out with 2 fingers.

How far do the bolts go into the target? How big is it? (Dimensions) and where did you get yours?

How much it cost?

I got a Morrel's Yellow Jacket target bag. They're specifically made for fieldpoints. I bought it from the Archer's Nook and they've had the same one for 3 years and its still got some left in it...

The Mini slammer is 24 x 24 x18. My Exocet 175 wou go in about 10 to 12 inches at 20 yds.

Okay, I'm just sick of burrying my vanes right in.

Where did you get that target from? How much?

I got mine at the Excalibur open house in 2003 but most archery shops have them for about $50 Can. We got about 7 or 8 targets that day.

Hmm maybe I'll have to look into that one then. Much cheaper than the block targets

I bought the target block 4 years ago,and only shoot broadheads at it.I just started putting the odd arrow in it up to the fletching.I also let a few of my friends use it too sight in there bows before the season starts.I just seen the target down at bass pro shop for 75$.It,s probably the best target out on the market for the money.Considering that i shoot the exo-mag on it and only shoot broadheads at its worth the money.

When I have the money for one of those Morrel Outdoor range targets, I will definately invest in one... but they're expensive aren't they?

$85.00 but it lasts forever !!

That's $85 American though....

$100 Canadian... Maybe I'll ask for one for my birthday or Christmas or something.
