SHORT PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
YATE CUBE Polimix 30 cm 6ST is a compact six-sided archery target made from Polimix and reinforced with durable foam.
All six sides can be used for shooting. Rotating the cube distributes wear across a larger area and helps extend the practical service life of the target.
The cube measures 30 × 30 × 30 cm, weighs approximately 1.8 kg and is specified by the manufacturer for bows up to 40 lb. Its compact construction makes it suitable for recreational practice, home training and portable 3D stations.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
YATE CUBE Polimix 30 cm 6ST is a standalone cube-shaped archery target designed for archers looking for a compact, lightweight and easily portable target.
The target is made from Polimix and reinforced on its sides with durable foam. This construction helps the cube retain its shape while stopping arrows during normal archery practice.
All six sides can be used as shooting surfaces. Regularly rotating the cube distributes impacts across several areas instead of concentrating wear in one spot.
The cube measures 30 × 30 × 30 cm. The manufacturer specifies this model for use with bows up to 40 lb.
This target must be used as a standalone product. It cannot be used as a replacement insert in a DOUBLE POLIMIX target with a cut-out. The compatible replacement product for that purpose is the Y500143 Yatex Polimix 29 cm insert.
The manufacturer recommends using an arrow puller to make arrow removal easier.
Six usable shooting sides
The cube-shaped construction allows all six sides to be used for shooting.
After one surface has received repeated impacts, the target can be turned to expose a less heavily used side. This distributes wear across the complete target and reduces repeated impacts in a single area.
For the best practical service life, regularly change:
- the shooting side,
- the orientation of the cube,
- the position of the target face,
- the main aiming point.
Polimix construction
The target is made from Polimix and reinforced with durable foam.
Its material is designed to stop arrows during normal archery practice. Actual wear depends on several factors, including:
- bow draw weight,
- shooting distance,
- arrow type and diameter,
- point type,
- shooting frequency,
- concentration of impacts,
- regular rotation of the target.
Compact 30 × 30 × 30 cm size
The compact dimensions make the target easy to store and transport.
Because the shooting surface is relatively small, the distance must be appropriate for the archer's ability. A safe backstop or clear safety area is still required behind the target.
The cube does not replace a suitable safety net, earth bank or other appropriate protection behind the shooting area.
Suitable for bows up to 40 lb
The manufacturer lists a bow draw-weight rating of 40 lb for this model.
Before use, consider not only the marked draw weight of the bow but also:
- the archer's actual draw length,
- arrow speed and energy,
- arrow weight,
- arrow construction and diameter,
- point type,
- shooting distance,
- the current condition of the target.
Do not use the target with equipment outside the manufacturer's stated specification.
Portable practice target
The manufacturer identifies this model as a portable target suitable for 3D use.
Its approximate weight of 1.8 kg makes it easy to move between practice positions. The stated weight is approximate and may vary because of the foam material used in production.
The target is suitable for:
- recreational archery,
- home practice in a safe area,
- archery club training,
- accuracy practice,
- portable practice stations,
- use within a properly secured 3D course.
Standalone target, not an insert
YATE CUBE Polimix 30 cm 6ST is designed for standalone use.
It cannot be fitted as a replacement centre in a DOUBLE POLIMIX target with a cut-out. The correct replaceable component for that system is the Y500143 Yatex Polimix 29 cm insert.
Before ordering, distinguish between:
- the standalone Y500229A cube target,
- the replaceable Y500143 Polimix 29 cm insert.
Removing arrows
The manufacturer recommends using an arrow puller for easier arrow removal.
Pull each arrow in line with its shaft. Avoid excessive sideways movement or twisting that could damage the shaft, point or target.
After removal, inspect the arrow for:
- cracks,
- splinters,
- bending,
- damage around the point,
- damage around the nock.
Never shoot a damaged arrow.
Safe placement
Place the cube on a stable surface where it cannot fall over or move into an unsafe position after impact.
A suitable safety area or backstop must be provided behind the target. Before shooting, make sure that no people, animals or vulnerable property are in front of, beside or behind the target.
Always adjust the shooting distance according to:
- the archer's ability,
- the size of the target,
- the bow being used,
- arrow characteristics,
- the available safety area.
Inspection before shooting
Before every practice session, inspect:
- all six shooting surfaces,
- wear in the main impact areas,
- any loose or damaged material,
- the stability of the target,
- the safety area behind it,
- all arrows being used.
If arrows begin to penetrate too deeply or pass through the target, stop using that surface. Rotate the cube to a less worn side or replace the target if it can no longer stop arrows safely.
Care and storage
After use, remove dirt and loose material. Clean the surface gently without aggressive chemicals.
Store the target:
- in a dry and ventilated location,
- away from prolonged direct sunlight,
- away from high temperatures,
- away from open flames,
- without heavy objects deforming it.
If the target has been used in damp conditions, allow it to dry naturally before storage.
