I hate when that happens. You should consider a rag bag target. :wink:

It's a nice problem to have when hunting!

I have the Rhino Block, forget which one. It stops them about 9 inches out of 18. The only problem is that the speed melts the target to the arrow. So a good release agent is needed.

A good problem to have...sort of...gets hard on the fletching pretty quick. :)

I also have the Rhino Block, but do not have any melting problems , do you have a high poundage bow?

For the money you can't go wrong with the Morrell's Yellow Jacket crossbow target. Stops them every time. They only downside is field points only.

Yeah various things have kept me from bow hunting this year :| . Have not been around the forum much , a bit of a downer to see all the deer taken and such since i can't get out . I was planing to go the last two weeks but that's not probably going to happen either . I'll make gun season , probably going to use my .50 airgun until I get a deer then try for another with one of my Excaliburs . We'll see , i kinda expect something to come up and keep me from going :lol:
