CB Target for Broadheads

[SummitSitter]

I looking to purchase a new crossbow target for use with broadheads. Which ones do you guys recommend?

I'm looking at this target sold at Cabela's:

For shooting with a crossbow...will a normal target designed to take broadheads work with crossbow arrows, or do you need one specifically designed for crossbows? I can see the crossbow arrows possibly over-penetrating a normal target...

Ideally, you want a BH target rated for a crossbow... The 18-1 is a good target for Bhs, but so is the Blob target... The Blob will last you a long time but it is not what I would call a portable target because they heavy but will stop them all..

The Blob target looks interesting. Have you used one before with the crossbow, shooting fixed blade broadheads?

[GrassyKnoll]

Yes, I have a Blob for about two years now.... They take a beating and in my opinion worth the money........

The blob is the way to go i bought one about 2 foot wide 4 foot tall and about 16 in thick i have been shooting it for about 10 years now once i shot a hole in it i just took a chainsaw cut it in half and started over shooting it they are the best thing since sliced bread....

How difficult is pulling out a crossbow arrow with a broadhead attached? Do you need an arrow puller to yank them out?

Also, can you leave them outside or will they fall apart easily with the rain and snow?

I would also recommend the blob target. And the one you were thinking of from Cabelas, the field logic block target is supposed to be good as well.

Got to say I'm not really that impressed with the Rinehart targets. My target ball did not last long at all.


I just made this one from an old foam target I had from 27yrs ago. Cut it into 4pcs and gorilla taped it together. Very light and stops my vertical bow easily. I will try the crossbow tonight.

I just found out that there are targets from:

Blobtargets.net
Blobtargets.com

It looks like these two companies may have broken away from each other. They both sell similar sized targets, around the same price. Which company did you guys order from?

the blob is tops !!!
I have had one for 8-9 years and got the grandsons there own last year.
also I have the 18-1, its good too but, It will not last like the blob.

the 18-1 is portable ..yes !!!
the blob is not made for portability...........

Pulling broadheads is not that bad, depending on a persons physical condition.. It is not a two finger removal by any means, but once you get a feel for the target it becomes easier...

Mine has been outside for two years and looks no worse for wear.. You definitely do not want to shoot an arrow into it if left outside in sub "0" temps for a day or two though..

Order from either company, it is the same product. I bought mine locally for almost half the price advertised, because no one wanted them because they are UGLY...LOL .. I should of bought all three at the time my shop was carrying them.
