I have owned all the big name brands. My Glendale is just a torso hanging from tree. Head broke off after repeated falls from legs falling off. I love the foam in the Rineharts. I think weather is a major factor in target life. I keep 3d's in shed. For broadheads I use a "blob" target. A fellow in N. GA makes these. Mine is 12 years old this May. The poplar tree it is leaned against has started growing around it!

Also a factor is your arrow setup. If you foot your arrows or have a target point with an outside diameter greater than your arrow, they tend to cut the target as you pull out. This also happens with certain broadheads, especially single bevel design since it is nearly impossible to pull them out in the same spiral that they went in.

Ive had a Rinehart deer since the first of the year and am just on the verge of getting pass throughs... Very disappointed in it. BUT I have left it out the whole time and it has been in may drenching downpours.. I also shot it when it was wet and arrow penetration was almost double..
I really like that the arrows are easy to pull...
Guess I need to take better care of the next one..

Rinehart by far. Our archery club has 400+ members and we have tried all the different targets. Rinehart wins hands down. McKensie just doesn't hold up and neither does Delta.

+1 for rhineharts, glen del did not hold up for me at all! Got a blemished woodland buck from Big Jims for 99.99 + 29.99 shipping awesome targets.

The one you can replace the kill zone insert on.

I purchased a rhinehart feeding doe back in 2007 (I think) and it lasted for about 4 years. I bought another one last year and the quality is not what it used to be compared to my older deer target. The body is made from much cheaper foam than my target from 5 years ago. Only the removable kill zone is made from the nice self healing foam. Not sure what I will do when this target runs its course, but doubtful if I will buy another rhinehart.
