If so, approximately how much?

Hey all,

Trying to choose an oversize range target for my backyard range (I have safety constraints in place to avoid sky-shots and misses). I plan to put a lot of broadheads into it as I like to practice using what I hunt with on a relatively frequent basis. Not all that worried about price, if it buys value and quality. The target will be kept in an enclosed structure and won’t be exposed to sun or rain.

Looking at targets in the 48"x48" plus size category and hoping everyone could provide some feedback. I tracked down a few old posts, but it seems like there are some new products on the market.

American Whitetail / ArcheryTargets.com – Ballistimat – 50"x50"x20", 300lbs – $ 599 plus freight
Bulldog – K9 Archery Target, plus series – 50"x50"x15", 130lbs – $ 539 plus freight
Block Range Target – 48"x48"x18" – $ 950
Solid Rock – Need to call regarding size options, seems like they can build whatever size I ask for – ???
Blob Targets – Big Blop – 40"x40", 250lbs – price largely depends on freight, likely around $ 500

Thanks in advance,

What has your experiences been with single piece broadheads? Do you prefer 2 or 3 blade? I am looking at using RMS Cutthroat 125s with a right bevel if I can get an arrow setup going for this fall. I am open to looking at double bevels or 3 blades as well. 3 blade heads seem much easier to sharpen, but I am willing to take the time and learn how to sharpen a single bevel.

Is there an advantage to either? The straight blade heads like VPA, Grizzlystik Samurai, and Cutthroat seem like they would be easier to sharpen, and I would think that a straight blade would penetrate better.

But, the Grizzlystik Maasai with curved blades is super popular as are Kudupoint and others.

Thoughts and experiences on this?

I just got a new bow, with field points the bow is right on at 25 yds. I’be shot ST mags for years and never had an issue with them flying with my field points until now, they are hitting about 4-5” to the right. Once and a while the arrow zig zags on the way to the target, which is bothering me. These arrows are brand new and I’ve spin tested all of them.

My question is, should I just move my sight before deer season? Switch to a new head? I don’t want to move my rest

Pretty straight forward. The technology and size are pretty sweet. But also the size scares me, with it being less than an inch. There’s a handfullvof videos showing it punching literal holes through various things….just none with a live animal. I have Rages right now, but was thinking of switching to a fixed blade. I have a pack of G5 montecs I bought from Walmart for $ 19. But those were kind of just a impulse purchase because of the price.

Just curious is there a difference in broadheads made for compounds and Xbows? Is it just marketing to another segment of hunters. They look the same. What say you?
