3D buck target
Im contemplating buying the Glendel Buck target. Anybody use one of these? Anyone use 3D targets at all?

I would have to take the antlers off or I would miss.
Re: 3D buck target
I shot a lot on the 3D target both for practice and competition.
My clubs 3D range has 24 targets out in the forest behind my house. I also have 5, 3D targets in my backyard in the range out to ca 30 yards.
The targets is from Rhinehart and SRT 3D targets.
I really recommend 3D for hunting practice and fun

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are !

Re: 3D buck target
Are they holding up Jose? I seen on other sites they claimed they broke at the back just above the insert. They are claiming Rhinehart is a better choice. How long have you had yours, and how much shooting have they taken approx?Flatline Bows LLC wrote:I have two Glendale's, they are really nice!
Which model do you have?

Re: 3D buck target
I have had mine probably 5-8 years. I have the full rut and the smaller one. Don't remember what model it's called though.... Both are still working good. I have not shot many broadheads in them just so they last longer but have shot a few. No issues with mine breaking at the back....Shadowhntr wrote:Are they holding up Jose?

Re: 3D buck target
Hate to keep pestering you Jose....I know you are a darn fine shot. Have you kept most of your arrows in the replaceable core, or has there been many shots outside of the core? Im worried about the integrity of the body with arrow abuse from pulled shots.
"They" claim there is an arrow eating metal band somewhere down low on or just below the vitals. Have you found it or is that rubbish?

Not pestering at all! Although I wish I could say I keep them all in the core, I can not. I keep most in but have had my share of misses. It seems like the holes close up really well. I think the only problem you would have is if you shoot a lot in the area where it hinges to remove the core for replacement. I would not hesitate to purchase another when the time does come. On a side note, I don't leave it outside in the weather. When I am done shooting I always put it back in the barn. Seems to help it last longer.
Re: 3D buck target
The one I had lasted for about 6 years being outside all the time. That's with me and 2 kids shooting it regularly. The plastic legs don't hold up well to arrows, but the body seemed to hold up pretty well.

Re: 3D buck target
You fellers have seen pics of my McKenzie. Pretty inferior compared to the new models out today.
