Foam block targets
This particular type of Foam Archery Targets is durable, easily movable and is greatly used with light bows. The layered foam as well uses friction in stopping the arrow which helps prevent the arrow tips from breaking. It should be noted however that broad heads can be stuck and then eventually rip the target. Bows that are heavier draw weight and can also be too powerful to be used in these types of relatively lightweight targets since in this scenario the arrow can get buried on the foam. The shooting angle of the archer should also be considered which will also significantly improve the life of the block target. Most of the experts recommend placing the blocks so that the foam layers will be lying vertically which will really help in guiding the arrows in between instead of only across the layers. The foam target blocks are also commonly used for outdoor purposes because it is lightweight and has a portable design. You can easily set up the foam block targets in seconds inside or outside though it is always important to try to always consider the draw weight and also any potential issues which might cause difficulties when trying to move the arrows on the target block.
3D practice targets
If you are still getting ready and are willing to start looking for your perfect compound bow, perhaps one of the best ways is in practicing with a 3D target. The foam targets are typically available in almost every kind of animal species imaginable. This will even include some that are already extinct. The 3D practice targets are quite fun and are also an effective means for the beginners and even those experienced hunters to be ready for the season. 3D foam practice targets usually have vital organs which are clearly marked on the outside and which makes it easier for the person to know where he should aim his arrow when he is on the field. This will also give the archer a much clearer picture of where the arrow will hit when released in a particular stance. It also helps you in understanding the point system which is typically used in competitive shooting.
Perhaps the main disadvantage to the 3D target is that the foam will wear out over time most especially in the center of the target piece. However, it can be easily replaced when needed. The targets are also recommended to be used with filed tips since the broad heads will be easily stuck on the center of the foam. You can create a lifelike hunting scene with the use of 3D targets and this will enable you to hone your accuracy as well as your hunting skills.
