Course Outline

Choose a target rated for the speed of your bow or crossbow.

  • With cube-style or 3D animal targets, it is important to pull the arrow straight out of the target. If the arrow is not pulled straight out, you might bend the shaft. An arrow that is even slightly bent will not fly true.
  • Avoid contact with the broadhead blades.
  • If you choose to pull the arrow through the target, remove the broadhead with a broadhead wrench, if possible, before pulling the arrow.

A bag-type target stuffed with cotton, old clothes, netting, or any other substance that absorbs energy is ideal for field point or practice tip shooting.

  • Bag targets offer the easiest arrow removal.
  • Do not shoot broadhead-tipped arrows into this style of target.
