best 3d targets for the money??

[jacobsladder]

I'm looking at putting in a 12 target 3d course on my property ....just for family and friend enjoyment..what would you guys recommend for best bang for the buck.... delta, mckenzie, rhinehart, etc etc..??  Not looking to start any debates, but would like to hear info on experience with different brands...how they hold up to weather and shots.... thanks ahead of time...

I'm not sure of the cost but the Rhineharts at the last shoot I went to were more lifelike, closer to actual size and a lot easier to pull arrows from than the Mckenzies.

Rhineharts!          

[kadbow]

12 rhineharts will be pricey but based on our clubs targets (which we have converted to all rhineharts) it is the way to go.  They hold up way better to shots and weather, arrows are easier to pull, and they look good.

[jacobsladder]

any other suggestions? rhineharts will be too expensive, but with  no doubt an awesome target.

how do the mckenze, blueridge, deltas etc compare to each other...?

You might consider R&W Targets if price is a concern.  We have a bunch of them in our club.  The arrows are harder to pull than Rinehart (nothing beats Rinehart, IMO - but they are pricey!) but they hold up well to a lot of shooting.

Rinehart IMO is going to be hard to beat. Ive owned several of the major brands, and the Rinehart outlasted them all. Ive gotten mine off of E*** for a pretty reasonable price.

I would just put out hay bales cost almost zip, bio-degradable and last a while. Not as neat as 3-D targets but still have to pic a spot and hit it.Now  with bales you can go from 12 to as many as you can fit on your place. PS; I buy one Delta buck every year.

Rinehart without a doubt!! They will outlast anything else....and pay for themselves in the process. I add a target here and there when I can afford it.

I finally spent a bit more money on a Rinehart but in 6 wks. shooting it remains in good shape, if I were shooting the "bargain" targets I have used previously, I would probably have a second one just about shot out! The Rineharts are actually a good bit cheaper in the long run in my estimation.

Hey Steve,

Check with McKenzie on their Level 3 pricing (club pricing) because of the number of targets you're going to buy. That's how I get mine, through a friend that has a 30 target course. He'll order 2 or 3 new targets each year and a handful of replacement middles and I have one added in for me. It saves a fair amount of money per taget plus free shipping I think for 3 or more targets. There's also a place out of Brighton that sells used tagets from the big 3-D tounaments. Those targets are used for one tounament and have almost no hits outside the middle section. Not sure of the name of the place but I bet if you seached the web you could fine it.

Over the years I have used the Delta bucks and now have a total of 18 delta deer on my own course.

 The course is made up of 10 2D Spence deer, 18 delta, 2 walking bear, 1 standing bear and 3 turkey.

The delta have held up well.

 I would buy 2 or 3 a year, if the kids wanted to get me a xmas present I would get them to go together and get me a new 3D target. One of the local clubs was also going over to all Rinehearts and I got 9 of there targets at 30 dollars each.

I have a 60 target 3d range at my shop. If I could trade my deltas and Mckenzies in for Rhineharts, I would do it 2 or more to 1. By far the best with the easiest arrow pull. I'm not just saying it because I sell them. I sell them becuase I really like them.

R&W makes good targets for the money.We use lots of them.Rhineharts are great for pulling arrows but they are small targets and got too many odd ball scoreing rings.I hate shooting them for score when we go to a shoot that uses them. jmo

[whitebuffalo]

I don't remember where you got thos little two-D targets Steve but I liked those. I'm not sure how durable they are ,,Looked nice though,,JB

[jacobsladder]
