xbow target
« on: January 11, 2008, 07:13:28 AM »
How do regular archery bag targets like the yellow jacket or layered targets for compounds hold up to crossbows?  How bout 3D foam deer etc.  do bolts get too deep in them?   How a bout shooting into a dirt pile any problems with that?

I have used a yellow jacket type bag for the last 3 seasons for target points and I had to put a new burlap bag target on it this year but its still going strong... any kind of razor points destroy it though. I started using a layered target like the block this year for razor points, will see how well it holds up, but I don't typically practice much with the razor points anyway.  Don't use the target points on the layered block type though they are VERY tough to remove!
