Hurricane H28

I'm very happy with this target. The target zones are easier to see at a distance than I expected. I like having the deer vitals on the back, with the heart in red. The H28 is big enough to make practicing 50 - 60 yard long shots easier. I have fewer arrows to chase or hunt for! This target is durable and stable so it doesn't get knocked over easily. It is a bit on the heavy side, but that was expected and the carry handle makes it manageable. I haven't had any arrows go all the way through yet, even with many hits to the same spot at close range. It works well with my 70# Bear compound and even my 45# Ben Pearson recurve. Arrow removal is what I have come to think of as normal with bag targets. A simple clockwise twist and pull with a bit of a yank at the end to get the field point past the cover material. I had a lesser bag target last me a couple years with frequent shooting. I expect this one will last even longer.

I purchased this to use with my Bear X Desire XL mini-crossbow. I was looking for something to stop the bolts and for use indoors. This target bag is awesome and does the job! Great value for an archery target bag. I even tried it with my regular bow and it works fine but I mainly use it for the min-crossbow. 60lb draw weight launching a bolts at approximately 200 fps and this bag stops them cold. They do sink in up to the fletching at short range but the bag does its job. Large target area, durable, it has taken well over 100 shots, and still going strong. Highly recommend it for use with min or pistol style crossbows.

I started using this target in mid-December 2020. Since then it has taken between 3500-4000 hits. When I first started using it, I was also just starting archery, so initially I kept my shots towards the center. It quickly became apparent that this wasn't sustainable, as concentrated fire in the same area was causing premature wear.After the first few weeks I started spreading my shots out. Soon after I painted some additional dots on the target for aiming points. This let me make better use of some of the negative space on the target. You can see from the pictures that the target is looking pretty shot up, with a couple of areas looking just about shot out. Fortunately, replacement covers are available (perhaps not from the original brand) that can help you extend the life of the target without the full replacement cost.I've been using a variety of traditional style bows (longbows/recurves) from 30-50#. I have never had any problems with pass through, or even poke through, except when I shoot too close to the edge of the bag. For the first few months I diligently took the bag down when I wasn't using it and carried it back inside. Moore recently I've been taking it down but leaving it outside. Judging from the fading, and texture of the bag, the UV is really tearing it up. I wouldn't recommend leaving it outside like I've been doing.I shoot a variety of wooden and carbon arrows. How easily the arrows pull free from the bag depends entirely on how flush the point/insert/shaft are fitted. Some of my arrows have a small ridge from the insert, these catch a bit. The only point I've lost inside the bag came from shattering a wooden shaft with another arrow. Part of the arrow fell free, the rest stayed in the bag. Meh.Since getting this bag, I've also acquired a compressed foam sheet target (Big Boy targets). Arrows pull out of the bag target far easier. I plan to continue using the bag target because even though it's the largest size, it is still fairly portable. It's also nice to have multiple targets when friends come over and wish to challenge your skills.Like almost everything else in archery, a bag target is ultimately a consumable, and will eventually wear out, and need to be replaced. The best things you can do to extend the life of your target;1. Use the whole surface. Spread your shots around.2. Use both sides of the target3. Try shooting from different angles. This can help utilize the outer edges and sides.4. Don't leave the target outside when not in use, particularly in strong sun.5. Finally, when it seems like the target is done for, consider getting a replacement cover. Especially if you haven't lost any of the filling yet. This is much cheaper than a new target.-Cheers

The liner doesn’t close up that well and for indoor use it looks ragged after a month of lots of shooting. Looking into getting replacement covers as w traditional bows this will last a very very long time but the outside bag will look awful and can probably be replaced at least 3 times b4 the inside is shot out. It stops a compound bow no problem.I’ve heard a lot of these have over penetration problems if using crossbows etc that have the max 425 fps or anywhere close, on their 500 fps plus targets. I’ve shot this one w 310fps compound wo issuesCompared to a foam target arrows are usually MUCH easier to get out but as the bag is shot more strings etc catch on the field tips and can make it harder to get some arrows out.The easiest target to deal w is a box stuffed w old clothes & blankets ideally as u can just put it into another larger box as the cardboard wears out or dump the contents into a box the same size. Ofc u can use cardboard plastic & paper bags and all kinds of foam paper & plastic garbage from packages etc. Fabric seems to last the longest & doesn’t the best job stopping arrows so u make want to use that in the areas that get shot the most. Anyways, these homemade targets are great bc arrows come out so easily, plus u can make a large one that would cost a few hundred or more for free. Just do tStill use foams & these bone bags, just like variety. Anyways the bag has a nice smack sound when u hit it btw

Lighter than I thought and stops arrows. It is not difficult to remove arrows from bag as some have indicated. Its a goid size bag with a solid contrasting targets in it. A really good deal actually.
