Spider Web targets are great for field points, it has the easiest arrow removal on the market, you can use 2 fingers to pull the arrows out. Wyvern Creations sells them they're pretty amazing.

I use Morralls Yellow Jacket for field points and I can pull them out with two fingers. I use a Rinehart 18-1 for my 3 blade fixed Boltcutters. Although I have to use a screw on T-handel (8-32 thread) to pull the broadhead out of the Rinehart, it 's not that bad. I'm shooting a Matrix 355 at 339 fps. I spent a total of $175 for these two targets, but am completely satisfied. Thanks to some great recomendations on this forum I made the right choice .

The Rinehart 18-1 and Rinehart Rhino Block are 2 of the most popular targets used on this site. You will need a pair of Danny Miller, arrow pliers to aid in arrow removal. Money well spent.

Agreed with the Rhinehart Targets. They're great for field points and broadheads. I have a spyderweb target and they're fantastic but if you shoot the same hole inside of thirty yards you'll blow through within about four shots. I really like my third hand archery rag bag target. They're about $25.00 and you fill it with strips of clothing minus zippers and buttons. They're a real pain in the nether regions to fill but once you do it'll stop your 405 at point blank range all day.

I use the Rinehart 18-1 for broadheads and I have a Morrell block 4 sided target for field tips for my 405. Don't shoot field tips in the 18-1 with the 405 or you'll never get them out. Good luck

Four words for easy arrow removal: DANNY MILLER PLIER PULLERS! Seriously, once you get them and the first time you use them your first thought will be, "I wish I'd gotten these from the get go!"

Two finger removal all day long. No need for pliers as it doesn't "hold" the arra. I believe it's a rag bag May have some foam in the middle.

Also, if you remove the labels on your arrows they will be easier to remove from the Rinehart targets. Seems the paint forms a weld with the heat from friction as they enter. Just a bit of laquer thinner on a rag will do this. If you use a tad of scorpion venom arrow lube on the first inch or so of arrow after this it will be easier still. Good luck
