Archery 40cm & 80cm Targets by Longbow

My son has been in archery at school this year, and these are the targets they use with the ten rings.I wanted to be sure that the ones he's using at home are the same at school. I had asked his archery instructor if they had any with scores on them, and he said they did not use any like that at school. I had thought that maybe they had numbers on them to help with keeping score if you're at home competing in the backyard. My son has since explained to me that the targets don't have numbers on them; rather, you figure up your score based on where the arrows land.To build the target, we just got a discarded box that for tiki torches (see pics), but any tall box (tiki torches, pool noodles, etc.) would work. We packed the front of the box with more boxes (the boxes inside the tiki torch box even have flattened boxes in them). That makes it easier to pull the arrows out of the front. We also cut up a bunch of old pool noodles in the back so we could store a bunch of arrows there when we take the whole thing back inside.Overall, the target paper works really well - it does not rip/tear easily, and that's a good thing for us. For reference, though, the kids are using bows with draw weights of about 30 lbs. They're also using both carbon arrows as well as fiberglass arrows. I don't know if that info helps or not.I have added a target that he cut off the front of the tiki box target that we made; we did end up adjusting the target and shifting it from where I had originally taped it. It was not high enough. Made a big difference once we moved it to where it was toward the top. The center of the target is supposed to be 48 inches off the ground - we're not exactly there, but it's much higher now that we've got it higher on the box than we had it. Next box we get is going to have to be even taller than this one to try to get to that 48-inch mark.

Just what we needed to be able to practice and then capture qualifying scores for the Scouts BSA archery merit badge requirement. Quality printing & paper that stands up to multiple iterations of target practice.

Nothing disliked, perfect for archery.

These targets are really useful. They are sturdy enough to take over 50-60 arrows I put into them and still hold together. They were good and easy to see at 60 yards. I used them to sight-in my bow just prior to an archery event. They hold up well and I will definitely re-order when its time.

These targets worked great. I wish they had numbers (10 in center, 9, 8, 7, 6 etc going outward) so that I could count up my totals easier. My son is trying to qualify for his Boy Scouts archery merit badge and needs to shoot 160 points from about 30 arrows at varying distances. We hand drew the numbers on, but it would have been nice if they were printed on originally.

I bought the 40cm / 17". It's really a 4.5 star... :) You pay $14.00 for 20 targets and postage... so I would like to say - of course - you do not get the best of the best, paper quality and rigidity. (competition quality target goes up to $1.00 + postage). Those are just thick paper - From my point of you those need to be used in a proper range or on a proper foam (or else) target. I would not recommend to buy those if you want to use them in the woods or stretch each sides with a piece of rope or elastics. If you like to shoot few arrows from time to time and leave your target -outside- overnights for the next time, then those are not a good choice either (from my point of view). But if you intend to shoot for an hour or so, tune your stand/position, get back to the motion, and know where you are aiming and shooting, those work perfectly ! Enjoy!

Great targets. Perfect size and durable. They don’t tear easily as some paper targets do.

Picked these up for the scouts in our troop working on the Archery MB. The targets do not hold up in the rain. They tear fairly easy in normal use and are ready to be replaced after 15-20 5 arrow ends.
