Hey guys my sons birthday is this weekend and I picked him up a small 15lb bow. I was looking at picking up one of those genz youth block targets but I was told that even though those are for under 40lb bows his small one may not penitrate and just bouce off. They recomended just picking him up one of the larger styrofoam targets until he gets used to shooting and can move up to the next larger bow.

What are you guys opinions I have always been a spend once type of person and figured the nicer target would last much longer then the styrofoam.

Thanks,

Wolfjon

 

Just get the self healing foam target at wally's. It's like 2' x 2' x 4+" thick.  My kids had one for several years, worked for them till they got over 40 lb draw weight.  If you leave the stops outside the sun beats them up pretty good. 

Thanks guys I ended up buying this at lunchtime since I had a $10 off coupon at dicks anyhow plus I needed to pick up some other stuff as well.

In my day and age, a good target for a small kid was...

I have the same target, after three years the outside vinyl covering is gone but the foam is still ok

Cool thanks for the info I am sure he will be happy.
