3D Capercaillie Target Eleven Premium for Realistic Archery Training
The 3D Capercaillie Target – Eleven Premium provides a realistic animal target for accuracy, distance estimation and variable-angle shooting.
Realistic Three-Dimensional Target
Unlike a flat paper target, the Capercaillie presents a true three-dimensional silhouette.
Its visible shape changes with shooting distance, orientation and angle, creating varied training situations.
Eleven Premium
The Capercaillie belongs to the Eleven Premium series.
It is suitable for individual practice, club training and use as part of a larger 3D archery course.
Resilient Self-Healing Memory Foam
The foam closes around the penetration point after an arrow is removed.
This helps slow enlargement of impact holes and supports longer target life when the target is used correctly.
Dimensions 65 × 28 × 50 cm
The target measures 65 × 28 × 50 cm.
Its three-dimensional form creates a clearly visible target that can be made easier or more difficult by changing distance or orientation.
Weight 8 kg
A weight of 8 kg provides useful stability while still allowing the target to be moved between stations when required.
Accuracy Training
The Capercaillie can be used for systematic accuracy training.
Archers can focus on a specific impact point and monitor the consistency of their shooting technique.
Distance Estimation
Regularly changing the target distance helps develop range estimation.
Rotating the target can make this more difficult because its visible width changes depending on the viewing angle.
Variable Shooting Angles
The Capercaillie can be positioned directly towards the archer or at an angle.
Changing the shooting position creates additional training situations without requiring another target.
Traditional Archery
The realistic animal shape is suitable for traditional archery training focused on natural aiming, distance estimation and repeatable shooting technique.
Instinctive Archery
For instinctive archers, the target provides a realistic silhouette rather than a simple coloured circle.
Changing distance and orientation helps prevent training from becoming a repetitive fixed-distance exercise.
Home and Club Use
The target can be used on appropriately secured home ranges and in archery clubs.
Ground spikes help secure it into suitable soil.
3D Archery Course
The realistic bird silhouette provides useful variety when combined with larger and smaller animal targets on a 3D course.
Competition Preparation
Moving and rotating the Capercaillie can help archers practise adapting to changing target presentations and unknown distances.
Suitable for Bows and Crossbows
According to the supplied product information, the target is suitable for bows and crossbows.
Penetration depth depends on equipment power, arrow speed, distance, weight, diameter and point design.
Recommended Arrow Points
Use standard smooth target points.
Broadheads, cutting points and other expanding points can damage the foam and significantly shorten target life.
How to Extend Target Life
For longer service life:
- use standard target points,
- distribute impacts across the designated target area,
- avoid repeatedly shooting the same small spot,
- regularly inspect the foam,
- adjust shooting distance to equipment power,
- pull arrows straight out,
- store and transport the target correctly.
