Avalon Foam Target Classic 90x90x24cm

Avalon Foam Target Classic 90x90x24cm – Ultimate Stopping Power for Serious Archers

Construction and Performance Benefits

The secret to this target's longevity is the High-Density XPE foam layered in a sandwich configuration. This design progressively slows down the arrow, preventing damage to the shaft and fletching. At 90x90 cm, it provides a generous surface area for long-distance practice or for archers still perfecting their groupings. Despite its massive depth, the polyfoam material remains relatively lightweight, making it portable for field setups. The closed-cell structure is weather-resistant and non-absorbent, meaning it won't gain weight or rot if left out in typical British weather.

Maintenance and Safety Guidelines

To maximise the lifespan of your foam boss, always rotate your shooting spots. Avoid hammering the same 10-ring repeatedly; instead, use the full 90x90 cm face to allow the foam to self-heal between sessions. While the material is UV-resistant, covering it when not in use will prevent the foam from becoming brittle over time. Crucially: Never shoot broadheads into this target! Hunting heads will slice through the foam layers and destroy the target's integrity within a few shots. Use field points or target points only.

Recommended Accessories

For a secure setup, I highly recommend a heavy-duty wooden or metal target stand capable of supporting a 24 cm deep block. When attaching your paper faces, use target pins with long stems to ensure they grip firmly into the dense XPE. Because the 24 cm thickness provides significant friction, an arrow puller is an essential tool to save your hands and prevent bending your shafts. For those using ultra-fast compound bows, an arrow lubricant can also make pulling even easier.

Did you know? A 24 cm depth is the standard for professional tournament bosses. It offers the necessary safety margin for modern high-speed compound bows where standard 7 cm or 10 cm targets often fail, resulting in dangerous pass-throughs.
