Title: Yo Buddy portable block foam archery targets
Post by: Hooper on December 23, 2010, 10:31:00 PM
I just ran across this portable block target just of the vitals on another site and have never seen it discussed on here before. Did a search and didn't see anything so I thought I would share the site.  www.yobuddyarcherytargets.com (http://www.yobuddyarcherytargets.com)   Looks like a great block target to keep in the car trunk or back of the truck when your hunting away from home. I like to shoot mid day between stand sits. It says its made with self healing foam and with the vitals pictured on it I think I will have to try one out.
Anybody have one and if so how do you like it?

Good idea.It would be a lot easier to set up a 3D COURSE WITH those targets.Might even make some of us better shooters.

Just another target. Don't really see anything special about them. Guess if they were under $40. they would be good. I have a reinhart ball that is only $35. for practise out of a stand or throw it in the field and shoot it without the use of a reange finder

looks interesting.  A little pricey, but not too bad.  a long time ago I got a target from wal-mart that was made one  of the big name 3D mfr's that was about 20"X20"X4" foam as a base with a half deer shoulder and rib cage on it.  It had two stakes and replacable core.  I never saw it in stores or found the cores after that.  It was sold at a  very reasonable price and held up well.  I still have it, but the center is all shot out.  We still put in front of other targets and use it at our farm.  It was a great target for the price.

Pretty cool targets. Are they free-standing?

I've used targets by three companies; Morrell, Field Logic, and Rinehart. For long lasting and weather hold-up I like the Rinehart cubes.  I have one of the round tossable ones too but it is a bit small and I have lots of rocks in our ground -- I don't like missing a target.  I also have a Block "crossbow" target that was a gift.  The buyer didn't know it was a crossbow target.  The target is more dense than other targets and holds up very well. This target is quite expensive though.

I think for instinctive shooters you need to see those legs,, maybe not but to me thats just a block target with a picture on it.  

portable is nice but somehow have some legs fold out and then it stands and I can set it up quartering away then I'd buy it!

They are great targets. I have the deer and turkey. They seem to be the same material as the Rhineharts. The targets are completely freestanding. I shot mine with my neighbors high-end crossbow to see if it would nock it over, nothing but a little wiggle. I bought mine from a local rep at cost and I am super impressed. The targets can be shot on any side an there is no metal or anything in them to hurt an arrow. I wouldn't hesitate buying one at full price.
