The Best Archery Targets of 2025

For the best of the best, Rinehart Targets RhinoBlock ($235) holds the torch and then some. Its trademarked solid self-healing foam eats both field-tip and broadhead-tipped arrows like a champ and does it in stride. Along with that, it has six sides for shooting. Two are incredibly detailed 3D-style, and the other four offer Rinehart’s highly visible target zones. These are great for lowlight shooting. You’ll also get a nice roped handle.

Perhaps the biggest downside of the RhinoBlock archery target is actually one of the pros. The solid self-healing foam is incredibly durable.

However, it can also be very difficult to pull arrows out of. Tester Josh Kirchner had to actually stand on top of the target, using both of his legs and arms to pull arrows. This can impede practice time.

If you’re a serious bowhunter looking to practice most days of the week, this target has your name written all over it. Rinehart has been supplying bow junkies with quality targets since 1999. The RhinoBlock lives up to the prestigious name of the company.

Getting a target to practice your bow skills with doesn’t have to be expensive. The BlackOut 4-Sided Layered Foam Target ($55-85) has a price that is right, with features that are right as well. This target is made with high-density layered foam and can withstand field tips on all four sides and broadheads on just the black sides. There is also a built-in carrying handle for easy transport.

This is no doubt a fantastic target, but it isn’t the most durable — at least when it comes to broadheads. Yes, you can absolutely shoot broadheads into the black sides of the target. However, the foam will begin to quickly wear and come apart, especially if you’re aiming for the same dot over and over again, as many do. Because of this, be sure to have good backing in order to stop your arrow. Will it last multiple seasons? Possibly not, depending on how much you shoot, particularly broadheads. But it will get the job done.

Whether you’re just getting into archery/bowhunting or simply want a target to throw in the truck for deer camp, the BlackOut 4-Sided Layered Foam Target is a great option that will be kind to your wallet.

If you need a target that can withstand anything, at any distance, the 365 Archery High-Performance Trio Target System ($150-380) is the move. This is a self-healing foam target made to withstand not only field tips and broadheads from a bow but also from a crossbow. It has a 10-inch replaceable core with six different sides to shoot.

What makes it so versatile aside from its crossbow capabilities? First, you can take just the core itself on hunting trips to save room, or purchase only the core. When the system is all together, though, the core is held in place via a target cradle. The cradle offers much more room for error when shooting. 365 Archery offers the HP Trio Target System in four different sizes: 18, 24, 36, and 48 inches.

With such a broad range of sizes, there’s a 365 for whatever you need. Are you trying to sight in your bow at distances past 60 yards? The large 36 and 48-inch targets give you plenty of room for error. Even relatively new archers can feel comfortable shooting at 100-yard distances with the largest size. If you’re looking for portability, go to the smaller sizes.

But versatile doesn’t mean flawless. Most noticeable is how easily the foam pulls and crumbles after a great deal of use, especially when adding broadheads to the mix. Unfortunately, it will leave a yellow mess on the ground wherever you are shooting. Sometimes, the black dots fall off the core. The good news is that the core is replaceable. One would hope not to replace that sooner than later, though.

For the casual archer/bowhunter looking for a versatile target that can take them from casual shooting in the backyard to making sure they are dialed in at deer camp, the HP Trio Target System from 365 Archery is a sure thing.

Shooting your bow at regular archery targets is fun. Shooting your bow at 3D targets is more fun, especially if you’re a bow hunter. The GlenDel Full Rut Buck 3D Target ($329) is the perfect target to help you get ready for deer season. Between its lifelike hair, size, and antlers, you’ll get the most realistic practice short of bowhunting itself.

The foam target sports an Open Layered PolyFusion Technology. This essentially means that the layers of foam are fused to the inner target wall, resulting in better uniform layer compression. It equals easy arrow removal as well as target longevity. And finally, the core is replaceable and provides four different shooting sides. So you can rotate through them to increase the life of the target.

This is the very 3D target that lead tester Josh Kirshner has staked down in his backyard, where he shoots at it often, and has noticed a few hiccups. One is that it doesn’t seem to hold up too well to the sun. The top of the target is faded and actually starting to dry out and flake. Also, when rotating the core, it never seems to sit perfectly in the deer like it did when new. That’s more personal but worth mentioning.

Stake it in your backyard or bring it to a hunting camp. The GlenDel Full Rut Buck 3D Target is for the beginner bow hunter all the way to the seasoned veteran who’s looking to bend the limbs back on a big buck come fall.

Any archer who spends time hunting should shoot at 3D targets before the season starts. Unfortunately, many 3D targets are expensive and large, requiring an investment and a dedicated shooting space. If that’s what’s been keeping you from shooting 3D, take a look at the Rinehart Signature Coyote 3D Archery Target ($119).

Rinehart makes some of the best targets in the business, and the Signature Coyote brings the Rinehart quality to a low-cost, downsized target. With self-healing foam and a removable core, it will withstand hundreds upon hundreds of shots with field points and broadheads.

3D shooting is all about replicating real-world hunting scenarios, and you have to pick a spot on a drab, monotone target. Despite this target being a coyote and not a deer, it provides practice to archers who may not have three hundred bucks to drop on a target. And, while some complain about the tiny size, in GearJunkie tester Morgan Nowels’ eyes, its what makes this one of the best preseason prep targets out there.

On many 3D archery courses, you’ll see the small targets placed at close ranges. But, once you place the Signature Coyote at distances past 60 yards, arrow loss becomes a real concern. It puts the pressure on and requires perfect shot execution, just like what you experience in the woods.

The small size also makes it very portable. Stuff it in a closet, and break it out when you’re ready to shoot. The compact nature makes it easy to move around your shooting grounds, and you can quickly place it in thick cover to up the pressure on precise shot placement.

Arrows are fairly easy to remove, but the self-healing foam will take a tighter grip. Nowels said that he’s had the target pull out inserts that are glued in with hot melt. If you use standard glue, though, insert loss will be a non-issue.

Morgan has had this target in his yard for seven months, through rain and shine, and it still looks brand new. Don’t let budget and storage space keep you from getting meaningful reps. Pick up the Rinehart Signature Coyote and get dialed.

Just because you’re on the road doesn’t mean you can’t shoot your bow. The 18-1 Portable Archery Target ($169) from Rinehart Targets will keep you honed through your travels. Only 15 x 15 x 15 inches, with a convenient carrying handle, it’s easier than ever to throw in your vehicle.

This target, of course, comes equipped with the Rinehart trademarked solid, self-healing foam, so durability is a non-issue. There are 18 vivid target zones here that can soak up both field points and broadheads. And all of those 18 sides are guaranteed to last for a full year. If you shoot them all out before then, Rinehart will replace them hassle-free.

The 18-1 is incredibly durable, but especially when new, arrows can be pretty hard to pull out. So, if you’re not looking to pull arrows Sword in the Stone-style every now and then, this might not be the best option for you.

For the avid bow hunter who doesn’t skip shooting practice or hunting trips, the 18-1 Portable Archery Target from Rinehart Targets is the best companion. It’s where dependability meets portability.

Along with the 3D and cube-type targets we’ve covered, there are also bag-style targets to consider. The Morrell Yellow Jacket Supreme 3 Field Point Target ($64) checks all of the boxes for those looking to only shoot field points out of their bow. It sports Morrell’s patented floating center and IFS (Internal Frame System) technology, which adds to overall durability and longevity.

You’ll also get the E-Z Tote carrying handle to make transport a breeze. And with its 100% weatherproof construction, this target would do fine as a backyard resident ready to eat arrow after arrow. On that note, there are two shooting sides and 10 different bullseyes to aim at.

While the Yellow Jacket Supreme 3 is a fantastic bag target option, it doesn’t come without fault. Something that is inherent with bag targets is that arrows don’t necessarily seat perfectly once shot into the target, as they would in foam. This can make tuning and bare-shaft tuning especially difficult. Also, this is not a target that one can shoot broadheads into. So, if you’re really looking to get ready for hunting season, you’ll have to snag an additional target specifically for broadheads.

The Yellow Jacket Supreme 3 from Morrell is a great route for beginner archers looking to build a foundation, as well as bow hunters just looking to stay honed before the season. Remember, just don’t shoot broadheads!

Block Targets has been in the arrow-stopping business for a while and rests in the backyards of many. It wouldn’t be fair not to mention the brand here. Its Field Logic Block 6 x 6 ($139) can handle both field points and broadheads. It has six sides for shooting and a carrying handle up top. This is made from Block’s PolyFusion Layered Foam Technology, which increases durability and aids in easy arrow removal.

Overall, this is a great target. It does have a downfall, though, and that comes when shooting broadheads. And more specifically, when pulling broadheads out of the target. Eventually, it will start to shed chunks of foam on the ground, leaving you a lovely mess to clean up. Once that happens, your arrows are more likely to fully pass through the target entirely as well.

Set it up in your backyard or take it to deer camp. The Block Field Logic 6 x 6 is an all-around solid choice for an archery target.

After beating the snot out of the Morrell High Roller Target ($130) for the past year, there’s no way it wouldn’t get mentioned. This is a fun, portable target that resembles dice, which can make for some fun archery games. It’s made from Morrell’s high roller foam, which aids in easy arrow removal. There are six sides with 21 bullseyes and a carrying handle. Both field points and broadheads can be shot into this target. And don’t worry about leaving it outside as it’s weather-resistant.

The target’s ability to withstand a beating from broadheads is impressive. It’s also red, though. While it doesn’t chunk out as much as others do, it will, in fact, leave a red mess on the ground from pulling broadheads out of the target. The red foam doesn’t look great on a nice lawn.

Bow hunters looking for an archery target that is portable, durable, and can hang with the best of them, don’t hesitate to roll the dice on the Morrell High Roller. It’s a winner.

Another solid target to consider on all fronts. The Big 8 ($149-245) from Delta McKenzie is a tough target made with high-density urethane foam construction. Per the name, there are eight shootable sides with two-tone, high-visibility green and white spots. And you’ll be able to shoot at those spots with both field points and broadheads. It comes in both 16- and 20-inch models. The 20-inch has a replaceable core. In terms of longevity, this is a looker.

Similar to other high-density foam targets mentioned, it can be fairly hard to pull arrows out of the Big 8 — specifically, field points. Broadheads will pull out easier. Consider using an arrow gripper, or just be ready for a good ol’ heave-ho at times.

Anyone looking for an uber-durable archery target that can handle broadheads like a champ, give the Big 8 from Delta McKenzie a look.
