Episode 129 – Equipment Review – Wildcrete Cane Toad

We’ve been looking for group 4 3D target and I’d shot a Wildcrete cane toad at an NFAS shoot a few months back and thought it was worth investing in.

With the club having, recently bought this target from Merlin Archery( Please remember I’m not sponsored by Merlin in any way) I thought it about time to record this review on what it’s like and how well it stands up to being shot.

It was used at the clubs open NFAS shoot in July, with over 100 archers attending and trying to hit it. Overall, it worked really well, though light poundage kid bows struggled to penetrate it a couple of times due to the density of the foam.

My only criticism is the use of metal tubes rather than plastic as metal tubes are now friendly on arrows.

If you have found this useful, let me know. In the meantime, enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for listening, watching and supporting this site.

In this really special episode I am delighted to have two guests, Ben and Phil who explain their involvement in organising and running the Bowhunter challenge over here in the UK.

A very different style of tournament to the well know NFAS big game rounds. So, sit back and hear how these two very enthusiastic archers tell you what makes the bowhunter challenge so much fun. Huge thanks to both for their time.
