SHORT PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
YATE CUBE Sandwich 36 cm is a portable cube-shaped archery target made from a combination of foams with different densities. Its construction helps stop arrows reliably and allows the target to be used from all sides.
The cube includes a carrying and suspension loop, making it easier to transport and securely hang in a suitable location. It can also be placed or appropriately secured on the ground.
The target measures 36 × 36 × 36 cm, with a dimensional tolerance of ±10 mm, and weighs approximately 3.1 kg.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
YATE CUBE Sandwich 36 cm is a compact foam archery target designed for recreational, field, home and archery club practice.
It is manufactured from a combination of different foams, ranging from very soft to hard. The combination of different densities helps absorb arrow energy, stop arrows reliably and extend the target's practical service life.
The cube can be used from all sides. When one shooting surface becomes heavily worn, simply rotate the target and continue shooting into a less frequently used area.
The target includes a suspension loop for easier transport between practice stations. It can be used as a freestanding target, securely suspended in a suitable location or appropriately secured on the ground.
Multi-density foam construction
The target consists of a combination of foam materials with different densities.
Individual sections may be very soft, medium-density or hard. Their combination helps reduce arrow energy progressively instead of relying on a single type of foam.
Actual service life depends particularly on:
- bow draw weight,
- actual draw length,
- arrow speed and energy,
- total arrow weight,
- shaft diameter,
- point type,
- shooting distance,
- training frequency,
- concentration of impacts,
- regular rotation of the target.
Usable from all sides
The cube can be used from all sides. Regular rotation distributes impacts between several shooting surfaces instead of concentrating wear in one area.
For more even wear, regularly change:
- the shooting side,
- the cube's orientation,
- the impact area,
- the position of the target face,
- the main aiming point.
Carrying and suspension loop
The target includes a loop for easier transport and suspension.
The loop makes it more convenient to move the cube between practice stations, which is useful during field practice or when preparing a temporary archery course.
Before carrying or suspending the target, inspect:
- the condition of the loop,
- its attachment to the target,
- all knots and connections,
- the strength of the branch, rope or suspension point,
- the safety area behind the target.
Do not use a damaged, loose or badly frayed loop.
Suspended use
When suspended, the target must be secured so that it cannot fall, become detached or swing uncontrollably after an impact.
Use a strong suspension point and leave sufficient clear space around the cube. Remember that a suspended target may move after being struck by an arrow.
A sufficient safety area or suitable backstop must always be provided behind the target.
Ground placement
The target can also be placed or appropriately secured on the ground.
The surface must be sufficiently level and stable. The cube must not fall, roll or move into an unsafe position after being struck.
When using the target outdoors, remove stones, branches and other hard objects that could damage arrows missing the target.
Portable field target
The 36 × 36 × 36 cm dimensions and approximate weight of 3.1 kg make the target suitable for moving between different practice stations.
It is particularly suitable for:
- recreational archery,
- home practice in a safely prepared area,
- archery club training,
- accuracy practice,
- field shooting,
- portable practice stations,
- use on a properly secured 3D course.
The dimensional tolerance is ±10 mm, so the exact size of an individual target may vary slightly.
Removing arrows
The manufacturer recommends using an arrow puller for easier removal.
Grip the arrow as close to the target as possible and pull it smoothly in line with the shaft. Avoid excessive twisting or sideways movement.
Incorrect removal can damage:
- the arrow shaft,
- the point,
- bonded connections,
- the target surface,
- the surrounding foam.
Inspect every arrow after removal. Never use a cracked, bent, splintered or otherwise damaged arrow.
Bow performance
The available product description does not specify an exact maximum bow draw-weight rating.
Target suitability should therefore not be assessed using draw weight alone. Also consider:
- actual draw length,
- bow construction,
- arrow speed,
- total arrow weight,
- shaft diameter,
- point type and shape,
- shooting distance,
- current condition of the target.
Before regular use, make a controlled test shot from a safe distance. Stop shooting immediately if arrows pass through the target, penetrate unusually deeply or are not stopped safely.
Safe use
Only use the target in an area prepared for safe archery.
Before shooting, make sure that:
- nobody is in front of the target,
- no people or animals are beside the target,
- there is a sufficient safety area behind it,
- a suitable backstop is provided,
- the cube is stable or safely suspended,
- the suspension system cannot become detached,
- all arrows are undamaged.
Never shoot towards roads, buildings, vehicles, animals or areas that are not completely visible.
Inspection before shooting
Before every session, inspect:
- all shooting surfaces,
- the depth of previous impacts,
- loose or damaged foam,
- the overall shape of the cube,
- target stability,
- the suspension loop,
- the suspension point,
- the area in front of and behind the target,
- all arrows being used.
If arrows begin to pass through the cube or are no longer stopped safely, discontinue use of the damaged side. Rotate the cube or replace the target if its overall condition is no longer safe.
Care and storage
After use, remove dirt and loose material from the target.
Store it:
- in a dry and ventilated location,
- away from prolonged direct sunlight,
- away from high temperatures,
- away from open flames,
- away from sharp objects,
- without heavy objects deforming the cube.
If used in damp conditions, allow the target to dry naturally before storage.
