Helpful Tip: Glendel Buck by the Block
Friends,
If you have one of these neat little guys, then listen up.
My Glendel buck was knocked over by a combonation of wet ground and heavy winds from the last hurricane that decided to carry it's way up the east coast. The poor thing lay out there as I watch the rain pound down him.
After the rain had subsided, I went out and reset the stakes in the ground. Went out this morning for the ritiual shooting.
*zing*
There went the arrow. Straight through the layered foam. My initial thoughts were that this product is a piece of #!~@. Then I went over to the deer and pulled out the layers. As I have a few of the pieces in my hand, I slide them against one another. It was if somebody put baby oil on them, they were so slippery. But it was just water. [:@]
So finally... Here is my helpful hint:
If you have one of these layered target things, don't let water get in between the layers. I was lucky enough to not lose or break an arrow, but others might not be so lucky.
Good luck out there!

RE: Helpful Tip: Glendel Buck by the Block
That's an excellent tip Pahunter.The block type targes stop arrows by friction.I guess in their adds they should say"slippery when wet"I can see how this would happen.I have two block tagets and one of them has taken thousands of shot's and I restacked the layers and rebanded it.It still stops arrows.I got the tip from Flahunter(Steve).
