Best Archery Targets of 2025

"I received my target a day early, and it was just as nice as I was expecting. It looks like it will last a long time."

"My son wanted a larger target, and we were surprised by its size in person. The quality is solid, and I believe it will last for years."

"This target is my favorite! After shooting 50-100 arrows daily for 35 years, I've found that picking it up and banging it on the ground helps maintain its performance. I expect it will last at least a year of daily use."

“I bought this target for my 8-year-old son as a Christmas gift, and he has been using it almost every day for the past six months. It’s still in perfect condition. He uses a standard youth bow, and his arrows sink in well and are easy to pull out. I would definitely recommend this for kids up to age 13.”

“I am an adult male and purchased this target for use in my urban backyard while my archery range is closed. Although it's labeled for youth, I shot it with my 50-pound bow and experienced minimal penetration. After making some modifications, the target performed beautifully with no signs of pass-through even after firing at least 200 arrows.”

“Every day with suitable weather, my grandson asks to practice with this lightweight and sturdy archery target. It has been well-received and is a source of great joy for both of us!”

"I used this target for backyard archery practice and I am impressed with its durability and weight. It has been hit multiple times, yet shows no damage. I can tell it will last a long time."

"This target arrived in great condition. I love the multiple target designs that help hone my aiming skills. It’s easy to carry, and arrows pull out without much effort. I wouldn’t recommend placing it directly on the ground though."

"This target works well for me. It’s easy to transport and I’ve shot a couple hundred arrows into it, and so far, it’s holding up really well."

"I'm really impressed with this target's stopping power. It keeps my heavy carbon arrows from going too deep and damaging the fletching. I've already put 2000 arrows into it, and it's still going strong!"

"This is a handy target for quick practice. It effectively stops arrows and seems quite durable. I'm optimistic about getting several more years out of it."

"I bought this target for an upcoming out-of-state archery hunt, and I'm thrilled with the performance. It stops every arrow I've shot and seems to be holding up well."

"I've been practicing archery in my backyard, and I set up this target at 20 yards. It rocked with each shot, but that might be because it wasn’t on a flat surface. I noticed that my arrows stick out about 3 inches, so I wouldn’t recommend using it for shorter distances to avoid damaging the fletchings. The holes are noticeable after pulling out the arrows, so I'm curious about its durability—I'll provide an update after a few hundred shots. So far, I'm very happy!"

"I really like this target. It has held up well during my sessions. It's lightweight, catches arrows effectively, and they come out easily."

"We've put a lot of arrows and even some throwing knives into this target, and let me tell you, it takes a lot of punishment! I just wish I had a better surface to stand it on than my nice side table."

"I’ve shot this target with both crossbows and compound bows several times, and it’s still standing strong. It does come apart a bit, but it remains usable and hasn't fallen apart in the targeted area. Overall, a solid purchase!"

"I bought this for my 6-year-old granddaughter to help her practice archery. She absolutely loves it! It’s soft enough for her to easily pull out the arrows and light enough for her to move around. It provides a great learning experience for youth hunters."

"Initially, I was satisfied with the price, but the core doesn’t fit perfectly, and it can be tough to remove arrows. Despite this, I believe it’s worth the $100 price tag. It’s a solid target for practice!"

"I think this target is fantastic for recreational shooting! I've used it for over 1,200 arrows and it still easily stops my 50lb bow at 15 yards. It's under 20lbs and has a handle, making it easy to carry from my patio to the shooting area. The self-healing material is impressive as it seems to close up the holes after shooting. I plan to keep using it!"

"As a complete novice, I find this target to be great! It's lightweight and stops arrows firmly without getting the shafts stuck. However, I can't confirm how it performs with broadhead tips. Overall, it's a decent size, and I will definitely buy it again when needed!"

"My husband is really enjoying this target! It hangs great and works perfectly for his practice sessions. I would absolutely recommend purchasing this!"

"I got the largest version of this target because I'm not the best shot, and I wanted to lose fewer arrows in the woods. It performs well, though my arrows do penetrate through the other side using all my bows. I wouldn't recommend it for a compound bow, but it's great for traditional archery."

"As a dedicated archer, I've had the opportunity to use the KAINOKAI Traditional Hand-Made Straw Archery Target several times, and it has continually impressed me. The hand-made quality ensures durability, and it stops arrows effectively without causing much damage. I highly recommend it for anyone serious about improving their archery skills."

"I found the product to be larger and better than I anticipated. The quality is excellent, and the small size I ordered turned out to be much bigger! It offers lots of value for long-lasting use!"

"My husband purchased this target about two months ago, and he uses it daily. It works wonderfully; the size is just right, and the stability is impressive. Plus, it's lightweight and easy to move around, making it a breeze to store once he's done."

"I searched through several options to find the right target for my crossbow, and this one is definitely the best! It performs consistently whether I'm shooting from point-blank range or 50 yards. Removing arrows by hand can be a bit challenging, but I'd rather struggle with that than keep replacing fletchings. Totally worth the investment!"

"This target is the first one I've used that doesn't damage my fixed blade broadhead bolts. A quick spray with Pam makes removal easy. Even when the broadhead gets embedded, I can simply unscrew it and pull the shaft out without any issues. After about a hundred shots, I haven't damaged any of my practice bolts or fletchings. I'm even considering getting a few more as Christmas gifts!"

"I was impressed by the sturdy construction and the excellent value for the price. This target easily stops my 315 fps arrows without any issues. The loud smack when an arrow hits is quite satisfying, but it might not be ideal for shooting late at night in the basement."

"I had some reservations about this target due to a few reviews claiming it didn't stop their Ravin bow arrows. However, I found that at 40 yards, it effectively stopped my arrow, with only the tip of the field point sticking out. Removing the arrow is a breeze."

"This target has proven to be fantastic for my practice sessions. The size is just right, and arrows come out easily. It’s portable enough to carry around, and I appreciate its stability once set down. Overall, it’s a great product!"
