I just bought a Hurricane Cat 5 at a local sporting goods store yesterday. Rated to stop up to 650 fps! $59

 

In my experience, target makers are ‘optimistic’ in their ratings. They might stop an arrow at that speed, but not for long. I have a Big Shot Kinetic 650 that I’m confident will last a good while with 450-500 fps arrows.

 

Check out the BigShot and the SpyderWeb targets.

^^^^^^^^^^ this. Spyderweb no limit 18XL and the Big Shot Extreme 500 are pretty darn good.

 

Big shot 18" x 18" will do it. You could get away with not getting the 650 if you want to save some coin. Heck they might even be the same price anyway.
I have the vapor and the normal big shot target and they are a great match up.

 

Delta McKenzie Crossbow Speedbag. Like $50-60 on Amazon. Only for field points. Only target I have found for broadheads that holds high speed is Rhino Block XL and shoot into it the long way. Good luck

 

The biggest key to target longevity is having enough space to move your shots around so you are not pounding the same spot over and over. Shoot one side one day and flip it over for the next session. I have had very good luck with both the Big Shot and Spyder Web targets. If you go with the spyder web add a few extra screws to the edge molding around the target, it keeps the target from coming apart at the corners.

 

Spyderweb stops my vapor perfectly. I use a rhinehart as well for broadheads. Rhinehart is terrible with high-speed crossbows and field points. Without lube you'll have to deadlift the arrow out of the target with a double d arrow puller

 

This is a good assessment of the targets. I will ad in a BigShot Extreme 500 or 650 as a very good target. And, I did exactly what Bigmike23 said....I had to deadlift the arrow out of a Rinehart with a Double D arrow puller🤣

 

bag target for a lot of shooting. that hurricane is really good.

 

Bigshot extreme 500 didn't work for me with my Vapor, the Kinetic 650 does if I use bullet points. If I was to buy another one it would be the Spyderweb.

 

I was looking at a tenpoint nitro 505 and was warned that I would need to seriously upgrade from the targets that I currently have. I will definitely look into the suggestions I saw here. I was curious about the spiderweb targets myself

 

Since this thread was made a new better target for the speed bows hit the market. Morrell Kinetic 1.0.

 

I am the odd man out as I don't shoot field points. I sight with briadheads and then leave it alone.
I have found the bag targets to hold up well with compounds and recurve though. If they start to get shot out I repair them with polyester pillow filling. And a new cover. Or a feed bag and duct tape.
