Yeah....the reviews are at the bottom of the page. Keystone has a new feature where you (as a customer) can write a review on the product you bought.

The Vitals target would be skipmasters dream come true Just look at that aim point Darn right it's my dream come true That's only because the vitals are where they are supposed to be....not some arbitrary location in the middle of the deer. It's about time a target reflects the animal it looks like. I have never been cheap when it comes to targets but it got to the point where I thought you couldn't shoot broadheads without buying a target every few months. I had limited myself to shooting broadheads only a little bit before each season. Even with that I was buying a new target every year, just to shoot broadheads. A few months back I joined this site and had some questions about arrow tuning. BT, Michi and a few others were great in trying to help me out. I did a lot of BH shooting and was ruining another target. I met up with BT who helped me get all tuned in at his house. I was amazed at the target he had. It was the Rinehart 18-1. It had seen better days but it still took everything i could throw at it. After shooting a few FP's and BH's I figured getting the arrows out would be tough.......not at all. They came out with 2 fingers. I went home and bought one the next day. I already have at least a few hundred broadhead shots in it and many more shots with field points. I haven't even worn out one spot yet. Everybody around here comes here to shoot BH's now. As of now I wouldn't even think of buying a target for BH's that wasn't a Rinehart. The best part is the price on this particular target. I bought mine for around $85. Sure beats the $100+ I spent every single year prior to this, and this one will be here for a while.

I definetely have one of the Rinehart 18in1 blocks on my want list. The amount of abuse it has taken from you without a doubt proves that this is the real deal! I have seen what other supposedly "indestructable" targets look like with a mere fraction of the arrows shot into them, that you shoot into your block. I am most impressed with it.

I'd like to see them here as a site sponsor just for the fact that I want to see people getting the best for their money. Just as this site was established for the benefit of the bowhunter due to testing everything that comes out prior to making it to the woods....I can definitely endorse this company and as you all know by now....I don't endorse anyone or anything which cant cut the mustard

Would that mean a more organized website and the official findings organized on their own pages with links then the to discussions in the forum?
I can never seem to find that pesky silver flame review. hehe.

Thats here!....you just gotta look hard! everything is here but this site is designed to make you look for a reason....seriously. I don't want things of importance getting overlooked and while looking for one thing....you are going to find alot People tell me that it does work well once you get used to it But I digress.... The test links page is under finalized testing at the bottom of the page.

One more thing I like about the 18-1 is the way the spots are layed out. sometimes I have trouble holding steady on spot targets and for some reason the neon yellow circle on the black target with the black "crosshairs" meeting in the middle of the spot(look at it and you'll see what i mean) make it really easy to shoot. It's like my pin "wants" to find the center. www.keystonecountrystore.com/images/products/28007rinehart18in1target.jpg

We have been trying different targets at our range since we opened up for shooting. The general feeling is that our club members, all 150 plus memberships, agree that the Rinehart target is the better product. They seem to last longer, they seem to leave the arrows more clean, easy pull out, all of the things that have been said in prior comments. We have only bought Rinehart targets the last couple years for the range, simply because this is what the club members asked for. They are not the cheapest target out there. However, every time we have asked Rinehart, they have given us a club price discount that has really helped us out. The local archery shop, Archery in the Wild, places the order for us at no charge. We had questions one year on the billing, Rinehart called me directly to make sure that all issues were understood and settled fair and square. I like doing business with those guys, I and like the product they offer!
