what backyard targets do you guys like

[Nick Muche]

I have a few of the Big Green Bag targets, one broadhead target and several 3D targets that I have acquired over the years. I also have a bunch of the Rhinehart inserts that clubs give away once one side is shot out. They are still great little targets and they work well.

Hard stalk....here are a couple of photos of my original test target. I took these photos this evening. It has been outside, uncovered for 11 months now. Every component we use is meant for all weather conditions. The composite top and bottom as well as the foam we use has a high degree of recycled materials. This target has seen approx. 14k shots, give or take a few hundred. As you can see, and even amazing to me, that there is no significant wear whatsoever. Now, with all that I have told you, remember that I haven't disassembled the target and rearranged the layers...most all shots are concentrated within the center 50% of the backstop, so when I get to 25k I will check to see what condition it's in and if needed, I will move the top 25% and the bottom 25% or so, and move that to the center, and reassemble the backstop and do it all over again.
***sorry, but for some reason I can't attach a phot from my iPad. If you would like them emailed to you, please PM me your email address, or anyone else for that matter, and I'll send them***

One comment I would like to add is this. I also have many of the targets mentioned in this discussion, and they are all fine products. I can't say anything bad about any target I am familiar with. I just got bored with them...I wanted more of a visual experience than I was getting shooting a bag, or a block type target. I started buying paper targets, and attaching them to my blocks, trying to cure my boredom...it was out of those experiences, that GameChanger Targets were born...Shooting at dots and circles, and such just got real boring, real fast. I felt that there was a slice of the target market that I could insert myself while being completely different than anything out there. The combination of having a common durable backstop, and a wide selection of high definition images, is what our niche is. Once you have invested in the backstop, then the cost of additional image rolls breaks down to less than $25 bucks a target image.

Yeah? I'll be glad to discuss that with you. Just feel its fair to point out that I was just responding to a thread. I didn't start it. Out of the 11 posts I've ever made, perhaps 9 of them were just today answering questions that were asked about targets and earlier today trying to purchase an item in the classifieds.
If you will recall, I reached out to you several months ago, and you never followed up with me. Just didn't want you to think I was trolling. I think Rokslide could be a good fit for us. Thanks.

Bluedog, no problems at all! Let's talk

My last target was a Block that I got about 12k shots out of, was still shooting good until the squirrels ate it. I also have a cube bag target that has held up well. Can't remember if it's a Merrill or what. By far the best dollar for dollar target I've had is my homemade compressed cardboard target. $6 of readibolt, $10 of lumber, a bunch of free cardboard, and a few hours of my time.

Are these the face of the target after 14k shots? Also if you add tapatalk as an app on your Ipad it should make adding the photos much easier. I think the app is a couple bucks but much easier than resigning in every time and/or posting photos from photobucket.

No, the target face was something my wife put up over the weekend, but the backstop has taken 14k impacts and still looks great. The arrows are supposed to find their way (path of least resistance), in between the layers, and that's why layered targets typically last as long as they do.
Thanks for the tapatalk advice. I will do that this evening.
