Block GenZ

Love the Field Logic Youth Block GenZ Target. It's small enough to be extremely portable and big enough to present a meaningful target for both my children and myself. Every once and a while they'll miss and we'll have to search for an arrow, but for the most part my beginner archers (9 & 11) can hit this target consistently from 20-30 yards without any trouble. With 30-35 pound bows at 20 yards the arrows (with field tips) penetrate about 5-7 inches and remove easily. Even though it's only stated to accept 40lb bows or less, I regularly shoot at it with my 55 pound bow without any trouble. My arrows punch all the way through the other side but are safely stopped about halfway (30 inch arrows), which might be problematic for anybody that wishes to set up the target against a hard background. But they are still easy to remove; they slide right out. I have not shot broadheads at this target so I can't comment on it's performance in that regard, but with field tips it's terrific. If there is any negative at all it's that it will occasionally tip over when an arrow hits high, which bent a couple of aluminum arrows when it tipped over. But that complaint probably isn't fair given that it happens most with a bow that is set to a heavier LB than the target is rated for, but it does also happen occasionally with the 30 and 35lb bows. The aluminum arrows that bent were cheap and I was expecting to have to throw them away soon anyway so it didn't really bother me. The carbon arrows survive the tip-over event without an trouble (usually it tips back a little when the arrow strikes and then falls forward when it tips back, the weight of the arrows on the front pulling it over - so the arrow(s) still stuck in the target break the fall. We always have it set up on grass, maybe this wouldn't happen on a hard surface? haven't tried that). But I really don't mind this little issue as I wanted something LIGHT and PORTABLE. It would not tip if it was heavier, but it would be harder to transport then too. If there must be a trade off I'll keep the portability. All in all, though, this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Something small, light and portable that we could easily take with us wherever we go. Simply drop it and shoot. Couldn't be any easier than that. Have never had it damage an arrow (the above tipping incident not withstanding) or have any difficulty removing arrows from the foam layers. We've put a few hundred arrows into it so far and one can just barely tell that it has been used, so I expect that it'll hold up well for a long time to come. GREAT PRODUCT. Would definitely recommend to a friend and/or buy again.

Very durable and light but strong. Perfect for my bow with a 38lb draw weight.

Works great as a small indoor target. I use it for my blowgun.

Delivered ahead of schedule. Target is fairly well made and arrows are easily removed.

My archery range has a backstop where I can tape a paper target that quickly gets shredded, but this is much better. It's something extra I have to haul around, but it makes the experience much nicer. Also, there is a handle (a simple strap for carrying it) on the top. I love the satisfying 'thunk' when the arrow hits. When I first bought it, I was a little concerned that it might start deteriorating and falling apart right away, especially since it seems like it might be made of cardboard. However, I have put dozens of arrows into it, and aside from small entry marks where the arrows hit, there is no sign of premature wear. I use a 30 lbs recurve bow, and I expect the target to last a long time. Of course, there are only two usable sides: the front (see photo) and the back. The top and sides comprise a wooden frame, which is not where you are supposed to hit. I have managed to send a few trick shots through the sides and the handle, which shredded the pretty cover a little bit, but nothing has exploded or fallen apart yet. Also, if the target is not perched against something solid, a hit to the side can cause it to rotate slightly. I have even knocked it over with a solid shot that hit near the top. Consequently, I usually look around for a nice sized rock or piece of concrete to wedge against the back. These are very minor inconveniences to me, and they even make the experience a little more interesting. Now if they would just make a magnetic version capable of attracting off-target arrows, that would be great! Highly recommend.

This is perfect for a kid. Which is what it is made for. This is not made for adults to be shooting their arrows into. If you do, it will not last. Because it is not made to. If you are an adult and buying it for yourself, buy something that is made for you. That being said, I have shot a few arrows into it with a small recurve and have had no problems. Its still in 1 piece and has not fallen apart. That was just as a test though and not the reason I bought it. I bought this for my 8 year old son as a Christmas present. He has used it very regularly for 6 months now, and it is still in perfect condition. He uses a standard youth bow, not a compound bow. His arrows are able to sink in plenty and he has no problem pulling them back out. He is also only using field tips though. We have not shot any blades into it. For a kid using it pretty regularly (almost every day), I can see this still lasting a year or even more. It is light without being too light. A kid can easily carry it around, but it is not going to fall over from the force of the arrow unless you hit it very hard with an arrow at the very top of the target. We have not had this happen yet though. I would definitely recommend this for a kid up to age 13 or so.

Nice target. Quality is good and the price is great. Do not expect the youth target to suffice for an adult bow. Adult bows greater than 35 pounds will completely penetrate this.

Works as it should
