A bag target has a woven outer shell with a fill material on the inside. You can make a basic DIY version with a burlap sack filled with old clothes or plastic grocery bags. Some manufacturers sell just the shell you can stuff yourself, which is a cost-effective target. Even the manufactured bag targets are inexpensive and work well for stopping arrows.

Archers shoot over distances of up to 90 metres, although the standard competition distances are 70 metres (for recurve) and 50 metres (for compound), usually at the recognisable five-colour target, consisting of 10 scoring zones and gold, red, blue, black and white rings.
Archers in both competition categories shoot at the traditional five-colour target face with 10 concentric scoring rings. The target scores 10 points for the inner ring and one point for the outer ring. The yellow rings score 10 and nine points, red rings score eight and seven points, blue rings score six and five points, black rings score four and three points, and the white rings score two points and one point. Missing the target scores zero points.
Compound archers shoot over a distance of 50 metres at a target face measuring 80 centimetres in diameter, with a 10-ring measuring 8 centimetres in diameter. The outer four rings of the target face are usually removed, leaving only the yellow, red and blue rings.
The goal of a set system match is to accrue a certain number of set points. The target number of set points is six in an individual match and five in a mixed team or team match. A set consists of a defined number of arrows, which is three for an individual match, four for a mixed team match and six for a team match. An archer or team earns two set points for winning a set and one set point if the set is drawn.
If the mixed teams or teams are tied on score, then the mixed team or team whose arrow landed closest to the centre of the target wins the match. If those arrows are an identical distance from the centre, then the next arrows are compared (and again for teams).
World Archery was founded in 1931 to regulate target archery with the goal of earning a permanent place on the programme of the Olympic Games. This was achieved in 1972; however, the rules of the discipline have evolved considerably since then.
Until the 1980s, international competition revolved around the format we now know as qualification, or archers shooting a defined number of arrows at set distances and target faces, then ranked on total score. Matchplay was introduced in the 1990s, revolutionising archery as a spectator sport, and refined in the 2010s with the introduction of the set system for recurve.
I have used several different targets in the past and the best was always my homemade one. This target was better than anything, including mine. It lasts forever and even at close range my 70lb compound arrows are super easy to remove. I have had this for almost 2 years and its still as good as the first time I shot it. 110% worth every penny. Don't waste money on other targets. Save up if you need to and get this one. Ill never get a different target now.
Bulldog shipped out my order very quickly. I've been shooting my FP Plus now for a couple of weeks and I'm very impressed, quite easy to pull arrows. Size and weight are just what I needed, I can easily move it around and take it with me in the back of my car. It seems really well made, should last for the long haul and the free replacement faces make it a truly lifetime target.
I liked the first target so much I bought a second for my indoor range. I put arrows through other brand targets and risk damaging them, not with Doghouse! The 10" thick target may become my outdoor target as it is much lighter than the 12" one, easier to move to various distances. Needed to replace the target faces on my first one after 5-7 thousand shots (!), but only had to pay shipping. A great deal. Good for another 5,000 shots or more.
I bought two targets for my new indoor range. I love this target for a few reasons, easy arrow removal, when they say two finger removal it is true. I also have nothing stuck to my arrow shaft after I remove it from the target, no need for arrow lube like other targets. I expect years of service out of the target and I shoot a lot.
Bought 2 bulldog fp targets so I can stack them exp for whe shooting longer distance 60-100 yards ect. They stop my arrows both my heavies and my light weights 480 put of my 81 # hoyt vtm and pull out super easy.
I have three bulldog targets, with the latest being the WeinerDog Range Target. I am very happy with all of my bulldog targets, but the WeinerDog Range Target is my favorite. I highly recommend the Bulldog company and their targets. If you are looking for a high-quality, affordable, and durable target, I highly recommend bulldog targets. You will not be disappointed!
Hi, in this instructable I will be showing you how to make a large, extremely durable archery target which can be reshuffled multiple times once the center gets shot out (which, as you can see, would otherwise be a huge problem for me, being a good shot, it happens rather too quickly on store bought foam targets to justify the $150 or so I'd spend on them; and if you're not a good shot, you would have to buy 4 of them to make a big enough target for yourself). This target solves both of these issues. At 2'x3', it is large enough for a beginner to hit, and because you can take it apart and rearrange the foam, it will last at least 10X longer than any store bought target. In addition, it won't rot and fall apart if it gets wet (like straw bales), and it is able to stop arrows from even extremely powerful bows. So, let's get started!
- 24" square foam floor mats (the kind that look like giant puzzle pieces), the more the better, although you should have at least a 16" stack, which will make a 2'x2' target, if you want 2'x3', you need about a 20" stack. Check craigslist to find them cheap, if you buy this many new, you'll spend hundreds of dollars, but people sell them all the time there for like $25.
- 6 - 3' lengths of 2x4
- 2 - 1' lengths of 2x4
- 3" Exterior wood screws (I prefer star heads, and self-drilling tips for their tendency to not strip, and for the time you save by not having to drill pilot holes)
- Box cutter
- Circular saw (or hand saw)
- Power drill (preferably corded, you need one with a fair amount of power)
- 1/2" drill bit (I used an auger bit)
- Grinder with cutoff disc (or hacksaw)
- 8 - 3/8" nuts (coarse thread)
- 8 - 3/8" washers
- 8 - 1/2" washers
- 4 - 4' lengths of 3/8" coarse threaded rod (you may have to buy them in 6' lengths)
- 3/8" spanner wrench (or adjustable spanner)
- Locking pliers (they don't have to be locking, but it makes things easier)
- T-square
- Sharpie
First, you need to measure and cut the foam pieces into a suitable size for a target. About now you may be thinking "Why don't I just duct tape my foam together and set it on the ground?" You could if you want, but then you wouldn't be able to shuffle the pieces around when the center gets shot out. If you decide to do that, that's fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. Anyways, here's what you need to do:
