Anyone use Bear-paw Longlife targets?
« on: May 05, 2010, 01:53:00 PM »
I am interested in these but can't find much info on them. I found these on KustomKing.com and would like to purchase a target from them as they are a sponsor of Tradgang.
All I know is they are made in Germany. Are they built for traditional arrows?

My Bet would be they are for Trad Arrows, coming from BearPaw. I will watch this, I would like to see what Others say!

I live in The Netherlands and I own 7 of them. The racoon, the small owl, the big vulture (I put that one on 40 yards), the fox, the standing woodchucker (difficult to shoot, I can recommend), a pheasant and a small deer from Reinhardt (another brand, cheaper)
Longlife is made for traditional archery. They are made form special heavy-duty foam and the holes from the arrows close very neatly. However, I would not recommend to shoot every day on them, as for your daily training. I also wouldn't use boadheads on them, only fieldpoints.
Also the rat is very nice and the flying red kite, which you can adjust with weels to a cable like a cable-railway, down from a tree, so you have to shoot a moving target is really big fun!

I use them to set up a 3D shoot, in the summer we do that every week. We are with only 4 shooters. When you trat them like that, they last forever.
Whem they got weared to much, you can repair/fillthem up with a special glue. Kustom King will have it I guess.

If I were you, I would order a small one, like the rat. Then you can try it out.
If you have any more questions, shoot!

They originally come from Bodnik Bohensport, who also delivers the bows to Kustom King. Her you go:  http://www.bogensport-bodnik.de/home_gb/home_gb.html

I have used the Longlife target since returning from Germany two years ago. My order from Kustom King was part of the first batch imported. We shoot the targets daily and no less than weekly and leave them out 24/7 365 days per year. They have the same characteristics as the Rinehart, and seem to last every bit as long. I would suggest that with smaller targets that you purchase several spreading your shooting around a course instead of killing the same target over and over. The pricing of the Longlife targets allow multiple targets over a small area.
