I guess you have all noticed that each test utilizes a Rinehart Target Why?.....Because I cant afford to be replacing targets everytime I blow a few thousand shots into it. The Rinehart I have now, has seen more broadheads than Fred Bear ....diffrence is that the Rinehart is still here (No offense Fred ) Now.... I say all this because first of all, I think a good product deserves a good word when deserved Secondly I want everyone to keep this in mind as we finish up the year This target has been with me for two years and I know it has seen over 10K worth of shots. In fact with all the traditional shooting at 200-300 arrows a day (field tipped) and the Compound at 50-200 a day(field point) as well as the 70+ broadhead shots per week..... I would say that This target has seen as much or above 30,000 field points possibly and 8000 Broadheads definitely , over two years. Now.... I am expecting that after another 6 mos. I am going to want to replace this but.... I am going to also believe that I could continue to use it as a beater on road trips if I had too. With all of this said..... I just want to say thank you to Rinehart for this super Product and to let everyone know that this is the real deal

I'm totally impressed with the amount of arrows you have in that thing, BT!! I know a few people that have them and, to a man, they tell me it's the best target they've ever bought. The Rhino Block is definately on my short list of "next up" items!

I agree with Scott. It's obvious how many shots have been put into that target and it still stops the shot everytime. I am certainly impressed. I do have a question in regards to FPs though. It's been my experience with foam based targets that FPs have a tendency to allow for melting during the friction of the arrow in the foam that makes it difficult to remove your arrow. Is that the case here with this particular target?

I'll mention another Rinehart that I am really glad I got and that''s the vitals deer Not a better deer target for the back yard out there possibly. Super training tool for pre-season! The thing I like about it the most is the fact that the chest is pinned which keeps the insert from coming lose if you shoot the chest out as always seems to be the case. Speaking of that...thr Rinehart deer is VERY hard to shoot out due to it being to narrow If you are shooting that low you are far more likely to just miss and therefore spare the target damage The insert is vitals on one side and normal on the other. Another great Target for 1/4 shots and tree stand practice

The answer is no I see this all the time on the 3-D shoots where McKenzie's are used and it not only messes the target up it can mess your shot up if you don't get it all off your arrows The only similarity this target has with the others is the tendency to grab the arrow when prolonged temps of 32degree's or less are present. At least that is my experience

Think we could get a discount if a bunch of us went in on a few?

I agree also Bt that the Reinhart Targets are top of the line. You have proven it to me on the testing you do with the Rhino Block. i will be intrested in trying that one some day myself. I am gona look into one of the 3D Deer you have posted as my next addition to my backyard range before hunting season which one would you recomed for a entry level Deer target? i will be buying it in the next month or so.

Although I love the look of the lower displayed model....I have a soft spot for the vitals deer. I teach alot of beginners and that target is a god send for shot placement instruction. The other thing I like is that I can turn it around and then after they shoot we can discuss the exit positions and where they did good or where they should have been. Shooting for the exit (IMO) is more important than the entrance in the majority of circumstances.
