Default What's important to you in a 3D target
Just looking for advice on what some of the members here look for when considering buying a new 3D target. What is key to you?

Thanks,
Ryan

How easy it is to pull arrows thats it as on a animal you dont have rings so just geuss it and see how good you can do makes you a better shot. I cant see any of the rings at my 3d clubs but still get in the 300s.

A big to our new Chiness friend.

Are you setting up a 3d course or just doing marketing research?

There are a lot of things that go into that decision like ease of pulling arrows, durability, can kill zone be replaced, correct size, kill zone in correct place, and cost just to name a few. But I think ease of pulling your arrow would be first.

i would also say that ease of pulling arrows but then again if the manufacture makes the targets that soft then they dont last long

ive had my rinharts for 9 years now in the range . and havent found a reason to change even to save some money . in the last two weeks ive gotten two of my teams back there driving a extra 20 miles past one range to mine just because the other range changed there targets and the arrows are almost impossible to get out of a target .they went to a repair kit which ends my making it half price to fix a insert .i now have 48 targets in the range .

We have developed a special manufacturing technique to make sure our 3D targets do not move or run away. We will be applying for a patent soon. However, we cannot guarantee that this anti-moving technology will make them easy for everyone to hit.

How about also making them more desireable for BBQ ing , as taste is very important to those of us who like to eat what we shoot !

What do you prefer, to buy an target without premarked rings, with premarked rings, or a flexible scenic to help make them?
