Summer is finally here and a couple buddy's and I are going to set up a 3 D walking course on my ten acres. Most is old growth forest so it should be fun. I was wondering what Is everyone's opinion of the Glendale buck vs cabelas brand vs Delta targets etc. I have a delta bear and the shootist buck. The delta bear seams to hold up. My deer target has no legs anymore.....any suggestions or personal opinions would be great. We are buying another 10 to 12 targets so price vs quality is important. Have a safe weekend.
Rinehart, no question. The key is keeping them out of the sun, any foam left exposed (regardless of brand) will break down fairly quick. Either store them in a shed or tarp them when not in use.

Rinehart targets for sure! Ours are four years old now and left out from late April to October. Some fading from sun but don't harden up like other brands. Foam is excellent. Ours see A LOT OF ABUSE from arrows and have only had to replace mosquito insert because target area is so small. Insert replacement system is great. Pull out the plastic tube and put in new insert. Got some recently for the Sherwood Park Fish and Game Archery course and got the best deal from Jimbow's Archery shop.
Canadian prices from Jimbow's put bedded whitetail deer at approx. $500.; cinnamon bear $650.: Boar $500. Inserts for these are about $125. each. Don't go screaming into the hills! These targets last forever. By the time you pull your arrow and shoot the next arrow, the previous arrow hole is closed. We've tried the others, still have a couple kicking around but definite value is in the Rineharts.
