New to Delta Targets

New this year to Delta targets are the Intruder, the Challenger, and the Archer’s Choice Real-World Magnum.  Delta Target’s 3-D targets boast a pre-molded high density (10.5lb) insert unit that is molded or encapsulated into the body of the target. “This creates a target-within-a-target that gets denser toward the center and provides improved arrow stopping power, while maintaining easy arrow removal.”  This “Super Center” uses Delta’s flexible polyurethane foam they call Tech Flex E-Z Pull Foam. Enabled with self-healing and memory characteristics, Tech Flex enables targets to stand up to numerous shots without developing holes, and provides easy arrow removal.  Delta claims that under ideal conditions, one of their 3-D targets can take upwards of 3500 shots.

Intruder

37"H (feet to head) X 41"W X 9"D

The Delta Intruder makes obsolete all comparable targets with a realistic look and top-quality replaceable vital that sports self-healing foam technology, shot after shot. It is easy to pack, but it is also tough enough to stand up to what customers have come to expect from Delta.

 

 

Challenger

41"H (feet to head) X 40"W X 10"D

Our competition just got buck fever! The Delta Challenger sports a big body and big rack that will prepare you for the moment of truth in your blind or stand. Sporting a replaceable vital made with the self-healing foam technology, arrow removal is a cinch but replacement costs won’t break the bank. Choose a target made by bow hunters—the Delta Challenger.

 

 

 

ARCHER'S CHOICE REAL-WORLD MAGNUM

45"H (feet to head) X 12"W X 20"D

Looking to knock down the buck of a lifetime this season? Then look no further than the AC Magnum. The double drop tine rack and a huge, anatomically correct vital area make the AC Magnum the leader in backyard 3D targets. Like the original Archer's Choice Real-World Buck, the AC Magnum is complete with a rotating stand that spins up to 180 degrees when the target is struck by an arrow. As the target spins to a different shooting angle and comes to rest, the archer is offered another shooting angle scenario.

 

The Archer’s Choice Real-World Magnum features an economical replacement vital, extending the life of this innovative practice target.

Brent Sawyer

TalkHunting Pro Staffer, Brent "Cobrican" Sawyer, was born into a sporting family.  His first couple years of life were spent on the banks of Lake Arthur and around his grandfather's farm in Jennings, La.  Even when his family moved to the city, they visited the farm often.  Brent's parents and Pawpaw spent as many hours as they could find taking him outside to learn how to care for and survive on the land around him.  They camped and hiked.  They gardened.  Brent joined the Boy Scouts as a Bobcat and continued to be involved through his High School days.  There, he learned many new skills to help him belong out of doors.  Brent and his cousins would often sleep out under the stars with only a blanket.  

At the age of 8 he was given his first BB gun.  At 10 he was allowed to hunt with a shotgun.  The family had a lease where they hunted, predominantly, Speckle-belly geese with the occasional snow or duck.  They also hunted doves and rabbits.  Brent learned how to call specks well enough to hunt on his own in only a short time.  About the time Brent went to college, his grandfather dropped the hunting lease.  Fortunately, North Louisiana offers some great opportunities for hunting on public lands.  He spent many hours duck hunting as well as hunting small game.  In 2000 Brent was invited to his first deer hunt.  Since then he has been fully involved in the deer hunting experience.  He also loves to fish.  Lately he has made more opportunities to fish salt water than freshwater but he enjoys both.

Brent Graduated with a degree in Forest Technology and has used his degree as a basis for hunting and recreation properties management.  He joined Talkhunting.com in 2008 and has attended gatherings in Louisiana and Alabama.  He also works for Breathe Safe Environmental Services as a third party monitor for lead and asbestos abatement.  He loves his job but hopes to be able to one day move exclusively to property management and consulting.
