This. And I will add: the ones that don't blow thru are a #^**+% to remove. Dag gum I hate that bag somefin fierce!

(They use a foam backed fabric that puts a death grip on arrow to feild tip) wow. Makes my blood boil just thinking of that target bag....

I got the Rinehart xbow2Go and its a bear getting the arrows out from a 20yd shot from my Matrix 380. Will try soaping or PAM-ing the arrows next session.

I will change things up a bit. I bought a BLOB target about 4 years ago just for BH and it is the most unbelievable BH target i have ever shot at. I have put literally hundreds upon hundreds of shots on this thing and it still is in 95% new condition.

I am also shooting probably the fastest production bow out. Scorpyd SLP 165. This thing shoots 436 gr GT III pro's at 433 FPS. The target is about 10 to 12 inches thick and i have NEVER EVER seen any arrow sticking out the back. I usually get about 6 to 7 inch of penetration.

the bad about this target is its heavy. There are a couple sizes and i think i got the mid size one and its around 60 lbs or more. But it will stop anything you through at it.. also do NOT shoot field tips in it. I was told not to and I don't as its supposedly tuff to get them out. To pull out BH is not bad at all. You have to pull a but but really is a non issue. Comes out good to me.

I may literally NEVER have to buy another BH target EVER AGAIN.

Best of luck

18n1 target has lasted me 5 plus years . Many shots with broadheads and field points . I had my 1st pass thru this year while shooting my M380 ( with Zombie slayer arrow and 125 grain ramcat ) . This target is hard to beat . Still works great with vertical bow .
