122 cm in target archery
The 122 cm size is one of the familiar formats used in modern target archery.
It can therefore be useful for:
- target practice,
- scored training,
- club archery,
- competition preparation.
Waxed paper
The waxed surface helps reduce rapid moisture absorption compared with untreated paper.
This is useful during normal outdoor practice.
It does not make the target completely waterproof.
Stitched reinforcement
Repeated arrow impacts gradually weaken paper.
The stitching helps:
- reinforce the complete sheet,
- keep damaged sections together,
- reduce further tear propagation.
Target face vs target butt
The paper target face provides the visible aiming surface.
It does not safely absorb the energy of an arrow.
A proper archery target butt or backstop is always required.
Traditional archery
The target can be used for traditional archery when mounted on an appropriate target butt.
Recurve bows
It can also be used for recurve training.
Longbows
The large paper target is suitable for longbow practice.
Horsebows
Horsebow shooters can also use the target during stationary practice.
Beginners

It allows the archer to concentrate on:
- stance,
- draw,
- anchor,
- release,
- consistency.
Experienced archers
More experienced shooters can use the target for:
- longer distances,
- scored rounds,
- grouping practice,
- competition preparation.
Wooden arrows
The target face can be used with wooden arrows.
Carbon arrows
It can also be used with carbon arrows.
Aluminium arrows
Aluminium arrows can also be used with an appropriate target butt.
Indoor use
For indoor shooting, attach the paper securely to a suitable target.
Outdoor use
The waxed surface offers improved resistance to normal moisture compared with untreated paper.
Avoid permanent exposure to rain.
Wind
Because a 122 cm sheet presents a large surface area, it should be firmly secured outdoors.
Storage
Keep the target:
- dry,
- protected from heavy crushing,
- away from sharp folds,
- away from prolonged weather exposure.
