Picked up this new target at the Tennessee Classic. 24x30 5 spot on one side and a dart game on the other. They're kind of pricey at $199 for this size, but very nice targets. I generally go through 2-3 homemade bag targets a year. They had a 48in x 48in there that had been shot 25,000 times and sat outside for 2yrs and still looked good. I'm tired of making targets so I just invested in this one, hoping it's the last one I'll ever need. Light weight and easy arrow removal. They give you a lot of options for the target faces. Very satisfied so far. It is a Bow- Nafide brand. Nice folks. Just thought I'd share.

I saw them and had thought about trying one keep us updated on its longevity. I bought 3 blobs from classic over the years.

Well thought I'd bring an update on the target. 8 months since my purchase. I daily when I can. It's probably had 8 to 9 thousand arrows shot at it. Still stops arrows easily. Sometimes they will bounce out if they hit in the worn spots. I did go against recommendations for field tips. They recommended only bullet type tips. The other side has not had any use. The weather has not seemed to affected it any. Jury is still out whether it was a good investment or not for the price. I do enjoy shooting it. Like I said I did go against recommended field tips.

These are the tips I used. The other one is what's recommended.

Field tips are supposed to be ok with trad bows.

Have you shot the other side at all?

I bought one at Kzoo last season. They are nice targets.

Bought one at the Tennessee Classic last May. Don't shoot it as much as soap creek but has been outside in the weather since then. My hunting buddy has one that has been outside for over 3 years and still is very good condition.

I have one and love it. Dart game is great way to add a new way to practice into the mix.

I like the way you are using it evenly all over instead of chewing out the center spots. That will make it last much longer. ;^) Cheers >>>----> Ken

To pricey for me. I use compressed straw bales, which cost $15 and will last over a year.

I like how Ken gave you the benefit of doubt! :>)

Does anyone know how much the 48”x48” target costs?

From: Wayne Hess

I guess that’s not bad compared to the Rhienhart Elk…

I have a 30x36 sportsman target from them with a deer on one side and a 5 target spot on the other side that I picked up a etar. One of the best targets I have ever owned.
