That's a nice looking target.

 

I prefer the color over the 365. Green pin doesn’t get lost in orange and black. Wonder when and where they will sell in brick and mortar stores.

 

If you have a local dealer, you can call them and have them place an order. I was going to buy from my local shop but their shipping was a month out because the targets are backordered. A lot of smaller shops won't carry them because they're not used to people actually wanting a $340 target

 

I just picked up the 24” version and I’ve been really impressed with it so far.

 

Looks nice. I want to get one.

 

How do the arrows pull? Does it try to slide out the core?

 

The core stays in super solid, you have to grab the whole frame and push it out with your foot. As for ease, they slide out without an issue. Easier than a 3d, a little harder than a layered foam target but not much.

 

Gotcha

 

Anyone have any experience using a broadhead with this target?

 

Just received a Predator 24 and so far, I'm pretty happy with it. Shooting X7 aluminums at 10ft from a 44# bow, the arrows pull from the core easily, but when I put 5 shots into the black surround to see how it behaved, I had a fight on my hands to get them out. Granted, I'm 72 with a scrawny upper body, so YMMV, but it could be a consideration if you're shooting carbon arrows from a 75# bow, but only if you're planning to put them in the surround.
The size of the 24 is perfect for my use as a garage target, sitting on a bench for training and test shots, but it will get used outdoors a lot too.

 

Interesting, I'm shooting 70# 26.5"out of a Lift with 430gr arrows (carbon) and my arrows pull from the backstop super easily. Could just be down to something like it being hot outside here and the foam might be a little looser

 

Anyone have real world experience with this target bs the matrix m1 modular target? I’m ordering one soon and I’m torn between this and the matrix.

 

Please keep us informed on the longevity of this backstop. I don't love investing nearly $400 into a target, but that looks to be a pretty good option. By the way, I thought Delta-McKenzie has been absorbed by Big Shot???

 

One big plus I'll note about the Predator target is that , unlike the Block 6x6 foam target I've been using, there aren't pieces of plastic film stuck on every arrow point that I had to peel off, every time I pulled an arrow. That got to be really irritating, and the points come out clean every time with the Predator.
I did some experimenting last night, after finding that some arrows came out of the surround foam much easier. I decided to clean off the front end of the arrows in case there was any residue from the Block target left on the arrows. What came off though was some yellow/orange or black residue, and afterwards the arrows were hard to pull from the surround again. It looks like all I need to do is let the residue from the Predator target, it's minimal and not even visible, stay on the arrows and they'll be easier to pull from the surround. Easy fix.
Out of curiosity, I tried putting a layer of hard paste wax on the front 1/4 of one arrow and shot it into the surround and it made a huge difference. I might as well have used super glue! I was barely able to even twist it a little with both hands on a rubber arrow gripper. Bad idea! Kids, don't try this at home.

 

For anybody curious about the new Predator 36, here’s some pictures of the cube itself and some other reference photos

Random Google result found this thread.... Now that you have a month into it, what are your thoughts? How's it's so with fixed blades and/ or mechanicals? Holding up well to repeated shots?

It is still by far the best target I’ve ever used. I used a Vegas face on one side to see how well it held up to lots of shots in the same spot, and after 10 rounds (300 arrows) they don’t noticeably penetrate any more than the first shot. The core is going to last ridiculously long, it handles fixed heads more than fine and if you pick 1 side to use for broadheads only you’d never run into an issue. I’ve recently been using it as a backstop for long range shots with my 3d targets.

 

which size is that?

 

i realize the frame is 36", but is the largest core you can get 13"?

 

Yes the core is 13x13x13
