Hey everyone, do you know what time of year it is? Well, if you live in the southeast, more specifically Georgia, then you know that it is archery season for deer. As exciting as this time of year is for myself and many hunters throughout the area, it is important to remember the basic fundamentals of the sport in order to maximize success. What I am here to talk about today is archery targets. Yep, as fun as all of this hunting stuff is, it is important to put those jubilant emotions away and practice first. Trust me; if you practice you will be thanking yourself later. I cannot tell you how upsetting it is to miss a big buck. By practicing with your bow and arrow, you are going to become better and better and placing arrows where you want them. With better control, you will more than likely become a better bow hunter and therefore more likely to see success out in the field.
Now that we have gotten through all of that blabber, let’s talk about the best archery targets out there. Note that some of the more notable or trusted brands are going to be more expensive. So before purchasing an archery target, you will need to assess what you want out of it. So for the rest of this post, we will be talking about the epitome of a great bow hunting target. It is called the block target. I can remember when this particular product hit the shelves. It was definitely the first of its kind. From there on it basically set the bar for top quality. What was so innovative about this product? When it first came out it was the first layered archery target to come out. Rather than most of the other players out in the market, this particular item used layers stacked upon layers to stop arrows with friction rather than force. Now that we have gone over a brief history of the block archery target, let’s talk about some of field logics newest items. By the way, field logic is the company that makes it.
The field logic block 4x4 archery target is their newest I believe. If you watch the outdoor channel, then you more than likely know how cool looking this item looks. As cool as its visual appeal is, it also has a nice price on it as well. However, I will attempt to rationalize the price later. Anyways, to my knowledge broad heads can be shot into the block archery target. This is great news because shooting what you will be hunting with definitely helps with accuracy and precision. If you have no idea about what I am talking about, then be sure to check out my last post on targets for broadheads. If you have not seen the commercial, then you will be happy to know that this particular product is said to be able to withstand approximately twenty thousand shots by arrows. They apparently tested it and showed pictures of it after being shot twenty thousand plus times. Here is how I rationalize the price though. Okay, say you buy a forty dollar target that only has one side that cannot be shot with broad heads. Now say you purchase the block archery target for around a hundred dollars or so and you get a target with four sides to shoot at. So you are basically getting four times what the other product has, plus you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have one of the top products out there. I thought that was just something that many people never think about.
