So I have a Will Piatt tuned 909s that shoots around 300fpe in slugs.
When I tried to shoot my YJ450 target with airbolts, they went all the way through and dropped the nock inside (at 40 yards!). Not exactly fun friendly or easy to practice with! My crossbow also buries bolts to the fletchings, and it only shoots 375fps.
I found spyderweb no speed limit targets, and ordered one of the 18" ones. Wow.. Crossbow bolts go in about 4" (and i can pull MOST of them out with a finger and thumb) and the air bolts went in about 8-10" and stopped. They are a little harder to pull out, as the head on them does shoulder out a bit, but they came out without a puller at all, just gently rocking them.
I was finally able to shoot airbolts for fun, and not worry about what was going to get ruined. Just wanted to let everyone know about these targets, as they seem very effective!
I do not have any affiliation with this vendor or anything, just something I found and bought.
