ABSTRACT:
An archery target has a free floating central core formed by a plurality of stacked sheets of a tightly woven nylon material. The sheets are oriented parallel to front and back faces of the target, and serve to absorb arrow impact without being penetrated. The central core is completely surrounded by compressed cotton molt packing disposed within a cardboard frame. The frame, compressed cotton, and central core, are contained within a moisture barrier formed by a polyethylene bag. A plurality of layers of nylon mesh are wrapped around the moisture barrier. The nylon mesh has openings greater than 1/4.times.1/4 inches, such that penetrating arrows are unlikely to hit and break strands of the mesh. The nylon mesh is covered by burlap fabric, upon which various target indicia may be provided. The target has a long service life and allows arrows to be easily removed. Once they strike the target, arrows are maintained in an orientation perpendicular to the front face of the target, minimizing their exposure to subsequent arrows, and thus preventing expensive arrow damage.
