« on: March 04, 2012, 03:54:00 PM »
Well I've rebuilt my old Glendale buck for the last   :help:  time (10+yrs nothing put spray in foam holding it together) Need to  :banghead:   buy new(OK I'm Cheap) looking at Glendale full rut or rinehart woodland buck.  But I wanted to know what others are shooting ( & what ones last the longest)  :archer2:

I've been pretty pleased with the GlenDale's, but I've heard nothing but praise for the Rineharts as well.If I were buying today, I'd probably go with the GlenDal, but thats just me.

I bought a Glendale a few years back.  I kept destroying carbon arrows hitting it low in the heart area.  There is (or was) a metal plate that ran the length of the belly.

Got rid of it for a cheaper Bass Pro model.  I would opt for the Reinhart if I could.
Most religions teach that you earn salvation by keeping rules. Jesus didn't teach that "good people" go to heaven. He taught that "forgiven people" go to heaven. And He invited everyone, no matter what their past, to come to Him and be forgiven.

Reinhart is the best and it will last a lifetime if you only use FP,s. It lasted longer than any other target I have owned even with shooting a lot of BH's

The local 3D course near my hunting camp has all Rhinehart targets and I really like 'em. If I could I'd buy one of each and stick 'em around camp. Never shot a Glendale target that I can recall, but I'd stay away from a metal sheet target...

I've had a couple $50 Blue Ridge deer from wallyworld that took me a couple seasons each to shoot in half...

I get the best life out of live deer, cause I always miss them and they replace their selves.

Their not 3d targets but Ames Pillow targets are two sided and last a long time when stuffed with plastc or cloth. When the Kill area is shot out use a piece of burlap and sew in into the kill zone. Its very economical but not as nice as a 3D target. But you can buy 4 for about $80.00 and place them in different locations provided you have the room. In view of the poor e3conomy its cheap and fun. Just my opinion.

I use the $100 cabelas targets and they never last a year, and that is with 3-4 spray foam repair jobs.  Would like to know a better answer myself.

I have an older Glen-del that has that layered sheet foam center.  I just keep turning and mixing the layers up.  No foam yet and it has lasted 5 years.

I just got a Rinehart Woodland buck target and I would buy another.  It's got a rubber(ish) kill section and I think that's going to last a long time.  I would recommend it.

Good Luck.

ive had my glendel for 4 years. I have went through 3 inserts. I tune broadheads with it as well. I ve shot a lot including rinehart. Rineharts are great targets but i would go with a Glendel again. Just because of the replaceable insert.
