I bought the 18-1 target from bass pro I like it alot. I can shoot any kind of tip. Also bough a hurricane bag from bass pro as well. Next I might buy a few fake animals . So far I'm happy with both of the targets

I just use a Cabela's brand block target. I had enough points to get one and usually by the time I need another one, I have more points saved up and get the same one again.

The bags cannot be used with broadheads but the blocks don't really hold up well to them ime.

18-1 is great, if you shoot out the sides within 1 year they replace it for free. I personally have shot out one in 9 months, but I only shoot broadheads and usually shoot 200-300 shots in a day or more if its not to bad outside, and I do that 7 days a week.

I have seperate sets of broadheads that are just used for practice, shooting them only made the blade dull but could easily be resharpened. I use muzzy mx3, magnus stinger and stinger buzzcuts, and german kenetic silverflames. I also have 6 grim reaper practice heads that I can use if I feel like using a mechanical. And I shoot a 70# bowtech destroyer 350.

I have not and will never. I dont trust any broadhead thats held closed by a o-ring. I prefer fixed blades, I have the grim reapers for my back up bow only, as I shoot a lighter weight broadhead with it usually.

I use them so I can see how my arrows behave in different weather conditions.

I just won a "Big Green Target" block type target...about to try it out.
What you really need is a 300 Winchester Magnum. That is the best caliber on the planet, probably even in the solar system and maybe the universe. Go get him! Shoot him in the face!

For 3d targets look for one with easy to replace inserts that are not stupidly expensive. I personally like the glendel pre-rut for deer and some of the mckenzies for other game species. The Glendel is nice cause you can change the way the vitals appear based on how you shoot. IE treestand positioning.
