McKenzie Tuff Buck Target
« on: January 28, 2008, 08:45:00 PM »
Anyone that owns one, how do they hold up if you shoot only field points? Say 50 hits a day at 5 days a week; how many weeks before it's shot out?

Which one is this?  Is it the medium size buck with the rectangular layered insert?  Looks like this?

 

Mine has taken a fair number of shots over three seasons maybe and is still doing alright, including some broadhead shots just before hunting season softening it up.  At 250 shots a week, you might get a year out of it.  The majority of my shots go in a cheap $18 bag target, then take random shots at the javelina and deer target as the mood strikes me.

I had one of mckezie's so called tuff bucks, shot completely through it in 1 week shooting maybe an hour a day with a recurve. Spend the extra money and get a regular mckenzie, shot one of those for over a year.

For the money I would spend a little extra and get the Rinehart broadhead buck or treestand deer.It will out last a McKinzie 3-4 times.

I cant reccomend Rinehart targets enough. I have a Mckenzie and it held up but I thought it was terribly hard to pull arrows out of and Ive never experianced that with rineharts.

A Mckenzie would last me about 2-3 months before the kill zone was completely shot out.

No real experience with the McKenzie, other than just looking at them at Bass Pro, but the foam outside the kill zone seemed very hard (and assuming hard to pull arrows from).  I recently bought a Glendel Buck with the layered insert, and it seems to be holding up well.  Misses (outside the insert) are a little harder to pull, but not bad at all.  The Glendel is $140-$160 depending on sales.

I've done tuned my bows to field tips and now need to work with broadheads. From 20 to 30 yards in the alley out back, what would you spend your money on. I've got 26 acres up NW but can not get up there 7 days a week to practice my bow skills. Hay bails with a paper plate work just fine up North, but the neighbors are gettin a bit itchy when they see me out back dressed up in my dungarees! Cops have been driving by on a regular basis lately and I'm not sure whether it is because of all the illegals in the area or the damned Irishman out back!
