Archery Shooting, Knowing the different Archery Targets

To shoot archery targets, knowing what type of archery targets there are, and what works best for you, is part of mastering the skill of archery shooting. There are several types of archery shooting targets. The most popular and used more frequently are the 3D archery targets. In addition you have the Block archery target, Foam and paper.

The block and foam archery targets are designed to make the arrow come out with ease, the archer could remove it with one hand. If you use a crossbow however, it is recommended to use a bag target or something listed for crossbows. Regular compound bow targets will stop a crossbow bolt but it will go in to deep and will be difficult to remove. This will run a risk of the bolt and fletching getting stripped off.


If you shoot archery targets to practice your skill then the block target is a great target for practicing archery range shooting.
