2D Marmot Target Eleven for 3D and Field Archery
The 2D Marmot Target – Eleven is a compact and lightweight polyfoam animal target designed for intensive 3D and field archery practice.
Main specifications:
- 58 × 26 × 17 cm
- approx. 1 kg
- tough polyfoam
- recommended for recurve bows up to 30 lb
- not suitable for crossbows
Low-Profile Animal Target
The Marmot has a relatively low silhouette compared with many larger animal targets.
This creates a useful challenge for:
- accuracy,
- target acquisition,
- distance estimation,
- different shooting positions.
3D-Style Archery Training
Although the Marmot is a 2D target, its animal silhouette makes it useful for preparation for 3D-style archery.
It can be used to practise:
- animal-target aiming,
- distance estimation,
- changing shooting positions,
- different target sizes.
Distance Estimation
A compact animal target can appear significantly different as shooting distance changes.
This makes the Marmot useful for structured distance-estimation practice.
Accuracy Training
The lower silhouette can create a more demanding visual target than a large circular face.
Difficulty can be adjusted by changing the shooting distance.
Tough Polyfoam Construction
The target is manufactured from:
tough polyfoam
designed for repeated arrow impacts during normal archery training.
Dimensions
Overall dimensions:
58 × 26 × 17 cm
Thickness:
17 cm
Approximate Weight
The target weighs approximately:
1 kg
making it easy to:
- carry,
- reposition,
- transport,
- store.
Recurve Bows up to 30 lb
The recommended bow specification is:
recurve bows up to 30 lb
A bow rated at 30 lb at a specified draw length may generate a higher actual draw weight if drawn farther.
Arrow Diameter
Arrow shaft diameter affects how the projectile interacts with the foam.
Different arrows may therefore penetrate to different depths.
Point Type
Arrow point geometry also influences penetration and stopping performance.
Target Lifespan
There is no single fixed number of shots that determines service life.
Wear depends on:
- bow strength,
- arrow characteristics,
- point type,
- shooting distance,
- frequency of use,
- concentration of impacts.
Club Training
The compact dimensions and low weight make the Marmot suitable for:
- archery clubs,
- schools,
- youth groups,
- coaches,
- mobile field courses.
Beginners and Experienced Archers
Beginners can use a shorter distance.
Experienced archers can increase difficulty through:
- greater distance,
- varying shooting angles,
- changing positions,
- combinations with other animal targets.
Not Suitable for Crossbows
The Marmot target must not be used with crossbows.
Safe Shooting
Always maintain a safe shooting area or an appropriate archery backstop behind the target.
