Well I've rebuilt my old Glendale buck for the last
time (10+yrs nothing put spray in foam holding it together) Need to
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)

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.

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.
