Bulldog Targets Anyone try one?
« on: March 20, 2013, 10:17:00 AM »
Was wondering if anyone has tried the targets made by Bulldog ? They say they have a lifetime warranty. Sick of replacing targets every few months. Let me know your thoughts.

I shot one out in a few weeks, you have to pay to ship it back as well as return shipping on the new target and some other crazy charge, But a rhinehart 18-1 and have fun I can shoot one out but it takes a year, and a lot of broadheads.

A year, I've been shooting at Rhinehart 18-,  for a year and a half and am just starting to put a dent in one side, and I shoot almost every day, This is telling me that, I have to shoot a lot more,    :clapper:

Good target for the price, but field points only, and does not stand up to the Texas sun. The covers feel apart, and I know there used to be a kit to restore it, but I ended up throwing it away.

Plus large target face, with lots of area to shoot.
Ask me about CTO.

I shoot one in my basement and replace the covers once a year for $12.95 and that is for shipping, the target faces are free. When I rebuild it I add some Wally World bags to it.

I have two targets and the faces do fall apart in the weather and sun, but used burlap bags from farm store and recovered . Now have two new targets again. Well worth it.

I have a DoubleDog FF from Bulldog. Best target I've ever had for field points.Arrows come out very easily. I just pin on a dot to shoot at.You have a 36X24 shooting area on both sides,can't even imagine how long it's going to take to shoot out.They tell you they dont hold up well to UV light,so just cover it when you're not using it. I built a covered stand around mine. I haven't found a broadhead target worth it's price in the last 25 years.Even the best get hammered pretty quick.I Get the cheapest I can find and patch it with spray foam until it's useless,then buy another.I bought one expensive broadhead target and it didn't last all that much longer than the cheapos.

I have a range dog set up in the back yard for the last several years. Had to replace the outer cover after MANY shots, easy to do. Target has held up well with field points. Great for form work, tuning new equipment and long range shooting.

I usually try to pick up a few of the shot out targets from 3-D shoots to use for broadheads, at $5 a piece they don't break the bank.
shoot straight shoot often
