Red Head "Shooter Buck" 3D target

[J. Cook]

Hey guys ...any of you have any experience with the "Shooter Buck" 3-D target from Bass Pro Shops?  I bought a Glendel last year and have been VERY dissatisfied unfortunately.  I really don't want to drop another $150+.  The "Shooter Buck" is under $100 but I wanted to hear some opinions...

The low bar in that Glendel has just ruined too many arrows and the "other" parts showed horrible durability.  The piece that comes down on top of the vital block (I think they call it the back strap) broke within the first couple of months and now every shot nearly pushes the vital block out of the deer.  The worst is the plastic leg design -- I put one arrow through the front leg and it won't hold the deer up.  I just expected a much more durable target from them.

I know rineharts are spendy but that is the only target I have shot so far that I would ever spend money on. Don't know about the redhead.

I bought the RED HEAD BOAR about a month ago and an arrow went through it today. I'm with you on the Glendale targets, you pay a lot for a sorry target (it was shot out in 2 months).

The Rinehart 18 in 1 has last me over a year of daily shooting:)

Pretty sure the shooter buck has the plastic legs too    :(

Had the same issues exactly.  Don't like the plastic legs, and destroyed numerous arrows on that plate at the heart/belly line on the Glenn Dale.

I discovered you can get a Rinehart Woodland Buck for about $130.  In fact I bought one new off of **** for that price shipped.  The legs are made of the same material as the body.  Great target for the money.  I ended up buying two of them.

Ooops.  Did not mean to mention vendor.  PM me if you need to know.

They look big in the pictures but are about the size of a medium to small doe.

Probably no target is gonna last very long if left outside in the elements, except maybe for the Rhinehart(spelling?). Sun and rain are very hard on 3D targets.

If the "Shooter Buck" is anything like the one I bought at the local Fleet Farm a few years ago for about $80, I'd tell you to stop right there and save the extra money for a Rinehart target.

The foam is cheap, legs are plastic, and it's a little smaller than the Delta buck (with worse foam).  Fine for field tips, but anything with a blade on it will cut it up in no time flat.  No way I'd leave any of my foam targets out in the elements, but especially not that Shooterbuck.

I've had my Rinehart 18:1 for over 6 years and I've still failed to kill it with broadhead - including a few years with wheel bows before I got into trad.  Best target I ever bought.

Save the money, get the Rinehart.  I wish I had.

I bought the big shooter on sale a few weeks ago- not even
worth the sale price- plastic legs that don't fit all that well so they come apart way too easy, the vital zone doesn't stay in, foam is crap- it kinda chips apart on the backside of the target, you can only shoot at it from 1 side or the vitals come flying out and there is nothing "big" about the "big shooter".
Im pretty sure it will be completely destroyed in short order

Wish I would have seen this thread last week. Could have saved the $150 I spent on that Glendel.

I bought the Rinehart Woodland buck and the center replaceable section is the true Rinehart material the rest of the deer is a less expensive material that has faded badly in the sun. I could tell the material was subpar going in but opted for the Smaller price tag then the "all" true Rinehart material deer.
Woodland buck $149
Broad head buck $199 all High quality material

a lot of negative about the Glen Dale, but mine has been good, set outside 3 years, still shooting it, about through my 2nd insert.

[Iowabowhunter]

The more expensive Redhead target is a Rinehart Woodland buck re-named fyi. still costs the same as a Rhinehart unfortunately, but my 18-1 has held up pretty nicely, except with Slick Trick broadheads

[ripforce56]

I agree buy a RHINEHART!

[hardtimes]

After having several 3d deer I decided to buy a Rhinehart. I am by far more happy with the Rhinehart than all of the others. Only complaint about the Rhinehart is it seems to "grip" my woodies. The carbons and alumniums remove pretty darn easy, the woodies are another story.

[flintznstyx]

Rhinehart broadhead buck costs under $200 and only $100 blem from Big Jim. Best way to go without spending $500.

I just got a Shooter Buck for $59  $49 after the $10 Re-bate at Scheels Sports. Will see if it was worth it (I only shoot field tips).

Man, do I hate those plastic legs. So does my back every time I pull an arrow out.

The "shooter" buck is the size of a juvenile fawn,with a 150" rack. Plastic legs. I bought one,opened the box,and we all had a good laugh. Right back she went. Spend the extra money on a good target. rat'
