When scoring an arrow, you are not supposed to touch the arrow. The reason for this is because you could potentially change the score of the arrow. If you were to touch the arrow and move it, then the score of the arrow would no longer be accurate.

Crossbow discharge target designed for high speed crossbows and compound bows Intended for discharging a crossbow bolts Lightweight and portable - fits in small areas Easy Tote Carrying Handles included for easy transport Durable Crossbow discharge bag made in the USA

I was drawn to this product because it would allow me to travel home from a hunt without having to keep my crossbow primed. I have lost so many arrows as a result of shooting them into the ground to decock my crossbow that I am at a loss for words. Instead, I always left it primed until I came home, then I would shoot into my target in the backyard.THOSE ARE GONE DAYS!This is incredibly portable and won't get in the way when I take it into the woods. It is light enough to carry around without becoming fatigued by the weight of a good bag. After a hunt where I failed to bring anything home, I just take it out of the truck and shoot a field point bolt into it.Parker MP315 is the weapon of choice for me at the moment. Despite the fact that 315 FPS is not the quickest bow on the market, I must express how impressed I was when my bolt only penetrated the target by approximately 2 inches at a distance of 20 yards. With any bow on the market, I could rely on this to not blow through. I wouldn't attack it with a broadhead.I would advise everyone who wishes to decock their crossbow in the field to use this portable bag!

We have a variety of archery targets, but this is without a doubt my favorite. On this specific target, I haven't tested increasing the draw weight on my compound bow all the way, but it works flawlessly for my wife's bow, which is set at about 40 pounds. Both my wife's and my son's bows and big-bore blowdarts have been used countless times to shoot this target. Even after using it continuously for months, I don't notice any signs of wear and tear.The following are the product's main takeaways: - Works well for juvenile and moderate draw weights - "Wounds" seal up right away and leave almost little sign of prior impact points- Extremely simple to remove arrows from target - Handle included for transporting and storing convenience (could easily fit under a bed, for example)

Although this is technically a discharge bag, I purchased it because of the 375fps crossbow's stopping power and had already sighted it enough on a larger target (which it was DESTROYING and nearly my bolts too when they went through). After purchasing this bag, I was able to VERY precisely pinpoint my crossbow scope sighting/ranges for the bdc. Once we honed in, three of us were able to strike the roughly quarter-sized black dots with deadly accuracy. Bolts are stopped by this bag! What matters and is the MEAT of this review is THAT. I'm really satisfied with my transaction because I got exactly what I was looking for.

I've only fired six shots at this target so far while sighting in a new bow and scope, but I don't anticipate wearing it out anytime soon. I have a brand-new 400 fps, 280 lb draw Excalibur Matrix Bulldog bow.Despite some unfavorable reviews that worried me a little bit about the depth of the arrow and the difficulty of pulling, I still ordered this. Even though I had read the specifications, I was still a little taken aback by the size. It was considerably larger than I had anticipated, which is both good and terrible. Greater size entails heavier weight and more bulk to transport, but it's not so heavy that I can't handle it and load it into the back of a truck, and I'm not a huge person. Heavier implies that it does not budge even a millimeter when my 250 grain Diablo (Easton) carbon arrows with 150 grain field points for a total of 400 grains at 400 feet per second strike it.At most, arrows penetrated halfway before quickly pulling out. As a result of hearing that the Excalibur arrows are challenging to pull, I purchased an Excalibur T-handle arrow puller. Although I could have saved that money for now, it might be handy with future ambitions. My field points and arrows came out extremely cleanly.This is described as a 19 x 19 x 19 inch cube, but I believe it is closer to 24 inches. I will need to measure it. Extra size is preferable to some of the smaller, difficult-to-pull-away dense foam blocks that range in size from 12 to 15 inches. It was difficult to remove the arrows from the foam for a buddy who has one of those bows because his bow shoots at a speed closer to 300 fps.

Amateur shooter that I am. With this target, I can practice every day in the comfort of my own home, which has significantly increased my accuracy.I reside in a suburban region, and finding a suitable location to target practice was getting difficult because my schedule does not typically allow me to travel too far from home during the week. This has allowed me to practice almost every day. Honestly, I can usually sneak in a few short practice shots while watching TV during a commercial break.This and the HME Products Acrhery Bag Stand were both purchases I made. It was very simple to set up. The bag is dependable and light. The shooter has a variety of targets to try and hit because to the surface's coloration and diversity.Even at very close range, the penetration is negligible and has never taken more than a light (emphasis on LIGHT) two finger pull to remove the field point fitted shafts. I now have a compound bow tuned to roughly 55 lbs.I have probably shot well over 100 arrows into the target in the past two weeks, and there is no reason why I couldn't shoot at least 1000 more. And that's only on the target's side. Should the other side prove to be problematic, I can simply flip it over and use the other side.There are currently no differences or weak points in the target; the penetration seems to be consistent everywhere.In all honesty, I wish I had bought it right away. And with a replacement cost of around $30 to $40, this is one of the best bets a beginner shooter can make. I think this might be one of the rare goods that actually deserves five stars.

When I first started using this, I had some doubts about a bag serving as a target for a very long time. Despite seeming like a bag of sand or something, it is quite lightweight. I believe the reason it's so light and strong is because it's filled with a lot of nylon stuff, like you'd see on a tarp or something. Multiple doses to the same area will cause the surface covering to deteriorate, but the internals are holding up well.I shoot in my backyard, and the next-door dog barks hysterically whenever I shot into a new area of the target (which generally happens when I miss my targeted spot). Although I'm sure I'm getting enough of practice protecting myself against zombie rabbits during the zombie apocalypse, I also need to practice for human zombies, therefore I need to figure out how to lift this to eye level in my backyard in a stylish fashion.

My recurve bow works great with this target. I have used it so far with 40 pound limbs, and it gave me approximately 1-2 inches of penetration. I am convinced that this target could easily withstand an arrow from my 55 pound bow with just about any field point on the market. I haven't seen the inside, but the outer cover is basically the same kind of woven plastic that 30 to 50 pound bags of rice, dog food, horse feed, etc. come in, so it is pretty tough but should be covered or brought inside when not in use, as prolonged exposure to sunlight will greatly shorten the life of this type of plastic. Additionally, because it is a woven cloth, mold and mildew could be an issue if left outside unprotected, but seriously, it's Otherwise, a recurve bow should be able to use it for several years.

The size is perfect since, in my opinion, it is neither too little nor too large. However, considering the size, it weighs quite well, and you can easily stow it in the trunk of a small car, making transportation very easy. It has two distinct sides—a front side and a back side—and it doesn't tip over when you shot it.Excellent value for the money; highly suggested for beginners.

When I originally took something out, I believed it to be insignificant and worthless. But I tested it by shooting it a few times with my 150 kg crossbow from a distance of less than 10 feet, and it held up. The holes nicely seal up. I didn't give it a perfect score since if you shoot up the sides of this as instructed, the wrap will eventually come off. Basically, it's piled and wrapped stacks of Styrofoam sheets. But as long as you stick to the dark sides, you'll be fine.

The expense was more than justified. I purchased a block target for my 391 fps Ravin R-9 crossbow, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to remove the bolts from the block. In order to grab the bolt, I purchased one of those hand-held grippers, but all it did was slide down the bolt, leaving me still unable to remove the bolt's contents. I stumbled across this while looking for an arrow puller that resembled a pair of pliers. After reading the reviews, I reasoned that I might as well buy it, and it turned out to be the finest $22 thing I've ever purchased. This puller was fantastic; it pulled all three out effortlessly without slipping. It's nice that there are three grippers of various sizes included. It was ironic because the block target I purchased claimed to be excellent for crossbows at 400 fps, yet with this puller, there was no issue. I firmly advise purchasing this item.

The speed at which an archer can shoot arrows depends on the type of bow they are using. A longbow can shoot up to 12 arrows per minute, while a crossbow can shoot up to 8 arrows per minute.
There is no definitive answer to this question as everyone progresses at different rates. However, with regular practice, most people can start to see noticeable improvements within a few months. Archery is a complex sport that requires a combination of strength, coordination, dexterity, and focus, so it takes time and patience to become proficient. With dedication and proper technique, anyone can eventually become a good archer.
It is difficult to say how long someone should practice archery before hunting. It depends on the individual's skill level and comfort with the sport. Generally, it is recommended that someone new to archery should spend at least a few weeks practicing before going on a hunt. This will help to ensure that they are comfortable and confident with their abilities before taking on the challenge of hunting.
In order to improve your archery skills, it is important to practice regularly. But how often should you shoot? A general rule of thumb is to shoot at least 50 arrows per day. This will help to keep your muscles memory sharp and your form in check.
An archer’s quiver traditionally holds 24 arrows, so a quiver full of arrows is sometimes called 24 arrows.
