If you think archery is a pastime that dates back to the days of Robin Hood, you’d be only off by tens of thousands of years. The earliest arrows have been discovered in caves uncovered from the Paleolithic age. Armies from the ancient civilizations of the Persians, Egyptians, Chinese and Japanese all advanced from victory to victory thanks to archers. When guns replaced bows and arrows among soldiers, the British aristocracy of the late 1700s revived archery as a more civilized sport. And in 1900, archery made its debut at the Paris Olympic Games.If you’re looking to make your mark with archery, start by buying a quality target. Here are a few we recommend.

Black Hole - 4 Sided Archery Target - Stops ALL Fieldtips and Broadheads

Superb durability

This easily portable option can stop all field tips and broadheads for an excellent archery experience. Black Hole

When we first tried out this archery target choice, the lightweight yet sturdy nature of the piece was immediately noticeable. We did not have any problems moving and placing the target precisely where we wanted, but it also easily stopped the arrows. The design also ensured that we had no trouble removing the arrows after firing at the target. The diversity of arrows that would work with this design, including field tips, fixed blade, field points, and expandable broadheads also made this a great choice. The bright colors on the design also made it easy to use this target when practicing with challenging, longer distances.

Morrell Yellow Jacket YJ-380 Dual Threat FP/BH Compound/Crossbow Combo Archery Target

Portable pick

This target easily stands up to the high-speed force that comes from crossbows and compound bows. Morrell

We added this target to the list because of its versatility and portability. The target works well for high-speed crossbows and compound bows, easily standing up to the force that comes from these powerful shots. At the same time, it also allowed for easy arrow removal. The design is also long-lasting – with it capable of withstanding thousands of shorts from these high-powered bows. It can work for both field point and broadhead bows and arrows as well. We appreciated the handle and portable design that make it simple to set this bow up when and where it is needed.

DOSTYLE Traditional Solid Straw Round Archery Target Shooting Bow Coloured Rope Target Face Three Layer for Shooting Practice

Environmentally-friendly design

The tri-colored target makes it easy to aim and then measure accuracy. DOSTYLE

This straightforward archery target can easily be hung at the appropriate height and then used for hours of shooting practice. The colored-ring design provides easy scoring for the accuracy of the shots taken. We also liked that it could be used for both archery shooting and shooting darts. Since it can be hung up at the designed height, it is also easy to adjust the target as you want. Archers can therefore make adjustments depending upon the skills they want to practice, and making it easy to use the target for a variety of different levels. The durable design means that it can withstand ample use and be used outside. The environmentally-friendly design was also a bonus for us.

Block 6-Sided Arrow Archery Target with Polyfusion Technology, Black, 18 x 18 x 16 (B56700)

Switch it up

Works well with both field points and broadheads, making it a great selection for those who like to change the type of archery set they use. Block 6

The six-sided design is what first drew us to this particular target, as the variety of different types of targets contained within a single item was enjoyable. Each side can also be used for multiple types of arrows and employs friction to stop the arrows instead of force, which helps the target itself last longer. While the block can withstand the force of the arrows, the entire item is light enough for users to pick and move with ease so they can position the target precisely where they want. We also liked that the design of the target ensured that the arrows were easy to remove, which made the entire archery session more enjoyable.

This unique target design features a strong bag that offers clear aiming points and durability. Hurricane

We noticed immediately how the bright colors of the targets on this bag made it easy to see, even when using from a long distance. Meanwhile, the composition of the bag makes it long-lasting. The designers of the target also sought to create diverse target practice by offering different off-centered targets on the back so that archers could practice aiming in different areas to improve their skills from several different directions. The handles then make the bag portable and easy to position as designed.
