    Buying 3D target on Van Isle

    I am looking for a 3D deer target preferably on the Island but will consider mail order in Canada.

    Any input on brand (field points and broadheads from a recurve and a crossbow) as well as a source would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Have you tried the larger locations of either Wal-Mart or Can. Tire ?

    If they have a decent sporting goods department you should be able to pick one up.

    I'll have to go back to Wally World tomorrow, wasn't there yesterday but I couldn't leave without picking something up so I walked out with another trail camera... Can't seem to shoot a real deer so I'm keen on the target

    Saw a really nice 4x4 on our way home from Mount Washington with about 20 minutes of leagal shooting left and this guy let me follow him down the trail staying about 20 yards ahead of me, Never offered anything but his back end!

    Of course Bev will probably have her comments to add <bwg>

    Thanks

    If they are out at Walmart, there should be some at Peter's and maybe at Gone Fishin'. Should be around $125.00.

    Well Wally World did have one target and it's now in the yard with a bunch of holes in it... If I can just figure out how to make an arrow turn a corner I'll set it up with it's arse facing me and practice some more.

    I have used a walmart 3d target. They are not good if your bow is set at a high poundage (70#), tears chuncks out of the exit side. thats my 2 cents
