The best targets for a high-FPS crossbow

If you bought a Ravin R470, a Ravin R29X or a CenterPoint Wrath 430, this is the page you need before you buy anything else. A 425 fps bag target and a 470 fps bow is a bolt you will not get back and a target that is finished.

SpyderWeb 20XL No Speed Limit

SpyderWeb

9.1/ 10

SpyderWeb sells this one on the absence of a rating: no speed limit, built on a woven Spylar Mesh structure that absorbs and releases rather than gripping. If you own a 430 or 470 fps bow, the usual 400 to 450 fps bag ratings are a problem and this is the clean answer. Over 200 aiming points and handmade in Michigan.

Published spec	Value
Speed rating	No speed limit
Construction	Spylar Mesh woven structure
Aiming points	Over 200
Arrow removal	Designed for easy pull
Weather	Weather resistant
Origin	Handcrafted in St. Joseph, Michigan
Dimensions	Not published

What it does well

• No published speed ceiling, which no bag target here can match
• Easy arrow pull is the design goal, not an afterthought
• Over 200 aiming points spreads wear over the whole face
• Built for high-volume practice

Where it falls short

• No dimensions published on the listing
• Expensive — this is the second-priciest target here
• Mesh targets are not broadhead targets; use field points

Rinehart 18-1

Rinehart

9.0/ 10

Eighteen shootable faces of self-healing foam, broadhead capable, rated to 500 fps and explicitly crossbow approved. This is the one target on the site that handles the two hardest things at once: a 470 fps bolt and a fixed broadhead. 15 inches a side and light enough to carry by the handle.

Published spec	Value
Speed rating	Up to 500 fps
Faces	18
Dimensions	15 x 15 x 15 in
Broadhead capable	Yes
Foam	Signature series self-healing
Crossbow approved	Yes
Carry	Easy-carry handle

What it does well

• 500 fps and broadhead capable together, which is rare
• Eighteen faces means you rotate rather than shooting out one spot
• Self-healing foam closes the hole behind the arrow
• Light with a carry handle

Where it falls short

• Expensive next to a bag target
• Fifteen inches is a small face for a beginner at 40 yards

Morrell High Roller

Morrell

8.6/ 10

High-density self-healing foam rated to 450 fps across six sides with 21 bullseyes, and an EZ-Tote handle. 450 fps covers every bow here except the R470, and the six-sided rotation is what keeps a target alive through a season of practice.

Published spec	Value
Speed rating	Up to 450 fps
Faces	6
Bullseyes	21
Foam	High-density self-healing
Weather	Waterproof, fade resistant
Carry	Integrated EZ-Tote handle
Dimensions	Not published

What it does well

• 450 fps covers almost every bow on this site
• Twenty-one bullseyes across six faces
• Waterproof foam that resists fading outdoors

Where it falls short

• No dimensions published
• No broadhead rating stated; treat it as a field-point target

Delta McKenzie Speedbag Revolver

Delta McKenzie

8.5/ 10

A 12-inch cube, 15 pounds, six shootable sides with calibration grids, rated to 450 fps, for about the price of three broadheads. The rating is the headline: almost nothing else at this price is rated past 400 fps. It is small, so it is a practice cube rather than a sight-in target for a beginner.

Published spec	Value
Speed rating	Up to 450 fps
Dimensions	12 x 12 x 12 in
Weight	15 lb
Faces	6
Faces detail	High-contrast graphics with calibration grids
Weather	UV and moisture resistant shell
Fill	High-density proprietary

What it does well

• 450 fps rated at the lowest price of any target here
• 15 pounds and 12 inches, so it moves anywhere
• Calibration grids help you track a sight-in

Where it falls short

• A 12-inch face is small; expect to miss it while sighting in
• No broadhead rating

Rinehart RhinoBlock XL

Rinehart

8.6/ 10

Six faces, two of them 3D deer zones: one with outlined vitals, one showing anatomically correct organs. For a hunter switching to a crossbow, the organ face is worth more than another bullseye — crossbow shots tend to be closer and the angle matters more. Self-healing foam handles field points, fixed blades and expandables.

Published spec	Value
Faces	6
Dimensions	18 x 18 x 13 in
Deer faces	Two 3D zones: outlined vitals and anatomical organs
Broadhead capable	Field points, fixed blades, expandables
Foam	Solid self-healing
Compatibility	Compound and crossbow
Speed rating	Not published

What it does well

• An anatomical organ face teaches shot placement, not just grouping
• Handles expandables as well as fixed blades
• Six faces spread the wear
• A larger face than the 18-1 at a similar price

Where it falls short

• No speed rating published, which matters at 450 fps and up
• Heavy for its size

How we picked

Published speed rating, full stop. Then broadhead capability and durability. Targets with no published rating are excluded from this page entirely, however good they are otherwise. See our methodology.

What will actually stop a fast bolt

Match the target to the bow

Why fast bolts defeat ordinary targets

A bag target stops an arrow with layered fiber fill that grips the shaft through friction over a short distance. The energy it can absorb per inch of travel is finite. Past the target's design speed, the bolt either passes through entirely or stops so deep that the fill has clamped the full length of the shaft — and pulling it out tears both.

SpyderWeb's answer is a woven mesh designed to absorb and release rather than clamp, which is why it can claim no speed limit and the easiest pull here. Rinehart's answer is dense self-healing foam, which closes behind the arrow instead of gripping it.

The other things a fast bow needs

• Broadheads rated for the speed. Crossbow velocity opens mechanical blades in flight on compound-bow heads. See broadheads for 400 fps bows.
• Tighter bolt tolerances. A small initial error grows over a longer flight time. See best crossbow bolts.
• A scope whose speed range reaches your bow. The TenPoint RangeMaster's 380-505 fps is the only range here that covers 470 fps.
• A sound plan for noise. More energy means more to dissipate. See crossbow noise.

Our pick

The Rinehart 18-1 if you can have only one: 500 fps, broadhead capable, eighteen faces, and light enough to carry by the handle. The SpyderWeb 20XL if you shoot high volume and want the easiest arrow pull on the site. The Speedbag Revolver as a cheap 450 fps discharge target for the end of a sit.
