Has anyone tried these yet? I like the idea in theory just really question how long they'd last.

I just received mine last week.

They are actually pretty cool. Pretty much a screen print on a white plastic corrugated backer. Each target comes with a couple extra kill zone replacements.

I am planning on using them once a week and at hunt camp once the season starts.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Realistically how long do you think they'll last? And will it hold up to any kind of weather if left out?

Was just looking at those. My concerns were how they'd hold up in windy conditions. I could easily see the antlers falling over, target bending, etc. It's pretty breezy where I'm at a lot of the time. The other thing is, they aren't cheap and you need a real target to actually stop your arrows.

I have a couple of these targets getting delivered. I like your idea on having it mounted to something mobile. can you take a photo of the back and how you have some type of bag target in place. I do love your idea. Also do you leave them outdoors? wondering how the hold up in the weather???

I use duramesh target faces, they are like $30 shipped and last a long time.

What exactly is the purpose of antlers on a target especially paper/polypropylene or even Rinehart foam?

I actually practice shooting at the rear hip after I shoot out the area behind the front shoulder. I just pretend like the rear hip is the front shoulder and shoot behind that crease to get more life out of my targets.
