- irregular target shape,
- shot placement,
- target size,
- distance,
- surrounding terrain.
3D-Style Training

Distance Estimation
The large silhouette can be positioned at different safe distances to practise range estimation.
First-Shot Accuracy
The target can also be used for drills where the first arrow is the most important.
Polyfoam Construction
The target is made from:
polyfoam
designed for repeated archery use.
