High-quality targets designed for broadhead arrows offer a dense, durable, and self-healing construction capable of stopping these specialized hunting points without excessive damage or difficulty with arrow removal. These targets are typically constructed from layered foam, compressed synthetic materials, or specialized bag targets filled with dense material. An example would be a layered foam block target specifically designed to withstand the impact and cutting action of broadheads.
Selecting an appropriate target is crucial for archers practicing with broadheads. It ensures arrow longevity by minimizing damage to the arrow shaft and fletching. Furthermore, it promotes consistent and accurate practice by providing a reliable surface for evaluating arrow flight and penetration. Historically, archers have employed various materials like straw bales or tightly packed earth for target practice. However, the advent of modern materials and manufacturing techniques has led to significant improvements in target design, specifically catering to the unique demands of broadhead arrows.
