As Vixenmaster mentioned, a Rhinehart target would be the way to go, and the standard 18-1 is a good start but they have other equally impressive targets as well. Guaranteed to last a year regardless of the damage you try to inflict.

As far an arrow shot from a M380 being easy to remove, think "Danny Miller arrow puller". Best money you will ever spend and it will make your target shooting a breeze instead of a blister creating, arrow breaking nightmare. Give the master a call @ 740 483 2312. They also make a fine stocking stuffer "hint" "hint" :D

The Block has treated me well. Not sure what would be considered easy to pull though. Stopping means friction

"Sportsman Guide" has had some of the Rinehart seconds on sale recently ( right after I bought a non-second ) :lol: Might be worth looking at.

x2 for the spyderweb target for field tips. the arrows shot from my matrix 355 go in about 5-6" or so is all and extremely easy removal. I don't have much experience with a broadhead target cuz I use mechanical broadheads and shoot the practice blades

I've heard great things about the Rhinehart but haven't shot at one, I went with Spiderweb for easy arrow removal but for field points only. I shoot a 380 with custom string and arrows with 150 gr points so it is really traveling with some punch when it hits the target, no problems with the Spiderweb. I am considering a 18-1 from Rhinehart for broadheads.

It amazes me. We've put a man/men on the moon, but still need two targets to cover both field points and b-heads, lol.

I use an 18-1 and Morrel bag targets. As to the 18-1, I used to use GT arrows and had one 18-1 that would not let me pull the arrows. Had a buddy try to help, they would not pull out. I was using a Danny puller to boot.

Called Rinehart, consensus was I got a 'bad compostion', returned it to them, got another, and all was well.

One word... RINEHART! Expensive, but well worth the money... Also, if you are on a tight budget, look for Rinehart dealers. They will also carry the factory seconds/blemished and you can get them at a lower cost. I got mine for $95, regular price was $130, just had a couple gouges in it...

I have the Rinehart Rhino block, I really like it, I personally did not like the shape of the 18/1 and prefer a block style, but that just me.

I also followed Don's lead and picked up a Rag bag by Third hand Archery, just stuff it with clothing or screening and voila a target which you can pull out arrows with two fingers.
