What will you be using it for primarily? Field points, or broadheads?

Get a bag and fill with old clothes best target money can buy. Bag wears out get a new one and put the old clothes in it.

I have the morell bag for field points. Stops Aries even at 15 yards with my equinox. Just don't leave them in the sun or the red color is toast. Mine is frozen outside and is still shot everyday.

I think others would agree, but I think the Rinehart 18-1 is the best crossbow target out there. I know some folks like the Morrell bag for target points and the Rinehart for the broadheads, but I use the Rinehart for both. I use the Danny Miller plier for easy arrow removal too.

I've been using a Third Hand Archery Bag for the last couple of years in my basement. I shoot from 20 ft with bows that spit out an arrow up to 400 ft/sec.
If you want just one target for both field points and broadheads lvt01 has it right.

I heard good things about those bags, hmmmm maybe I should buy a bunch and sell them in Canada because when I tried to buy one no one here had them, and shipping here cost more than the dang bag lol

Think "Bullzeye Bags" has already been copyrighted? Million dollar idea for ya right there.

EDIT: Just did a google image search for "bullzeye"... Not the kind of bags I'd be shootin arrows at.

I tend to agree with Danny - and not shoot field points into my Rhinehart. it holds those arrows so tight you could lose an FP in there and then damage a BH shooting it later. And I also agree with lvt01...I think the 18-1 is about the best target out there.

Waldo's dead. Last I seen of him he was 20 feet high and 40 feet down the road off a front bumper of the truck. No making fun of dead people. Seen him die with my own eyes but did finish the king can of Molson Dry he gave me while they shovelled him up. I wonder if Scarborough ever got another white person after Waldo died? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its odd, I have read a few people who said that, but FP's come out of my Rhino Block no problem, and even easier with my Miller pliers. You just have to give the arrow a little turn before pulling it out.
