View attachment 162070 First shot at 30 yards on new target. Stopped it dead. Pulled out with 2 fingers. $36.00

Where did you get it ?

Amazon with free delivery. Now I just need a 600 fps xbow to verify.

Their even cheaper on ebay. Not sure why they are cheaper than the other hurricane targets. Maybe the cover?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hurricane-...287&hash=item364d62d042:g:onMAAOSwG1Nc2W7u:sc:ShippingMethodExpress!30043!US!-1

Looked at eBay but with shipping it cost more. Pretty heavy. It comes with 2 day shipping also.

The link I posted was $31.79 Free shipping Not 2 day though.

Not sure why they are cheaper, or pull the way a real bag target does either. I bought a Hurricane last summer when Cabelas had them on sale. Stopped arrows well, but a bugger to pull. Even lost an insert in it. Back to the store it went. Glad to hear that they got this one right.

I picked this one up at a yard sale for $10 a couple of months. It was hardly used. The stuffing didn't seem very well packed and was kind of spongy feeling. Shot it a few times and the arrows were very hard to pull! They penetrated a lot but not too far. I put a little rail lube on the arrows and they pulled a lot easier.

Looked it up to find it has what they call. Tri core technology. Built this hanger for it but haven't shot at it anymore. But it wasn't too bad to pull with the rail lube on the shaft at 350 fps. It was strange how in penetrated a lot but was so hard to pull. Like Chinese hand cuffs or something

Paul, I just returned to using my cheap a$$ targets you love so dearly.

Thats about all I use too Jeff is cheap DIY targets for field points. Some are a little fancier than others and some are more portable

One started out like this.

And eventually ended up like this for basically nothing other than the work involved.

Thanks to my daughter for the art work

I have owned many bag targets over the years and found that they will soak up water during a hard rain. This makes them very heavy and they mildew which makes them stink. I put mine in my garage when I am finished shooting if it is looking at all like rain.

I've got sheds around or shed roofs over mine.

I've also welded up 2 of these hangers now that a piece of plywood or what ever will sit on top to keep them dry.

I will say this Storm target is a good deal. I got if for $30 off ebay. Its kind of strange though. Sometimes the arrows are a little hard to pull. Other times they are very easy.I'm not sure whats up with that. It does stop a 446gn arrow at 380 fps no problem. Even with the pointed type of field points at 7 yards in the basement.

My Spyderweb 20" target does the same thing sometimes. I think the arrow welds itself into place because I can barely twist the arrow and it will then pop out using two fingers.

I think your right. I've only shot it a handful of times but did notice that.

Very nice target stands Stalker, I am curious what the green thing is on top that looks like a tupperware lid?

Its actually not sitting on top but about 5 yards behind the target.

I've since updated and made a top for the hanger I posted about above.

This by far is my favoritehttps://www.crossbownation.com/community/threads/made-a-new-target-today.36180/

Very nice setup, first class! Thanks for the reply.

Thanks. Best thing about them all is I have next to nothing infested in them. Pretty much made them all with stuff I had just sitting around
