Closed-cell, cross-linked polymeric material provides a durable and resilient medium ideal for stopping arrows. This material’s structure allows for repeated impact without significant degradation, making it a popular choice for target construction. Different densities and thicknesses cater to various arrow types and draw weights.
The resilience of this specific material contributes to extended target lifespan and reduced arrow damage. Its ability to withstand repeated punctures without excessive wear minimizes the need for frequent replacements, offering a cost-effective solution for archers. Historically, targets were constructed from straw, hay bales, or other less durable materials. The advent of this modern material revolutionized target practice, providing a consistent and reliable platform for honing archery skills.
