ABSTRACT:
A roving material known as garnetted polyester, ideally a dacron base, can be manually laid up interiorly of a target case made out of vinyl-coated woven nylon is disclosed. The method of manufacturing the target is directed to first preparing the target by sewing the housing material to its general configuration but leaving a portion of the stitched area open but closable with a zipper or equivalent closure. Thereafter, the roving is manually plucked and the material laid up by hand interiorly of the target. Chopping and blowing the material will degrade the potential effect of the target in its absorption. Finally, a second casing like a pillow case with a longer zippered opening may be placed around the target when the original casing becomes shredded in the kill or bulls eye zone. In one embodiment, a deer silhouette is on one both sides with a contrasting colored kill zone. Another target is circular, optionally with a bulls eye on one side and cross haired center on the other. When a target is manufactured and is approximately twelve inches thick and two to three feet in diameter. The total weight of the target approximates ten pounds. The target itself will accept the bolt from a cross bow at a distance of ten yards and while the bolt will wedge into the target, it can be readily removed by two fingers. The same is true with a compound bow of any power utilizing a broad head or bodkin-type point which can also be dislodged from the target with two fingers.
