These targets, constructed from closed-cell, cross-linked polymeric material, provide a durable and resilient surface for arrow impact. The closed-cell structure prevents water absorption, contributing to longevity and consistent performance in various weather conditions. Archers frequently use these specific targets due to their ability to withstand repeated shots without significant degradation. The material’s elasticity allows for easy arrow removal while minimizing damage to both arrow and target.
Such targets offer a blend of practicality and affordability. Their resilience translates to a longer lifespan compared to some traditional alternatives, representing a cost-effective solution for archers. Historically, archery practice employed a variety of materials, ranging from straw bales to tightly woven fabrics. The advent of synthetic polymers revolutionized target design, offering improved durability and weather resistance. This evolution has facilitated more consistent practice sessions, ultimately contributing to enhanced archer skill development. The light weight of these targets also makes them easily portable, further adding to their convenience.
