Experience the timeless art of archery with our traditional hand-woven straw target, crafted just as archers have done for generations. This isn't just another practice target—it's a piece of living tradition that brings authentic heritage to your archery sessions while offering superior arrow protection and environmental sustainability.
Each target is meticulously hand-woven by skilled artisans using natural straw as the core material. This traditional method creates a unique texture that's both beautiful and functional. The straw layers provide just the right amount of resistance to stop arrows effectively without causing the damage you might see with cheaper synthetic alternatives. You'll notice how your arrows sink cleanly into the target, making retrieval smooth and preserving both your equipment and the target itself.
Available in multiple configurations to suit different needs and bow weights, our straw targets adapt to your archery style. The 3-layer targets (20" x 20" x 2.3" or 32" x 32" x 2.3") work perfectly for bows under 30 pounds at 18 meters, while the 5-layer (20" x 20" x 3.9") handles 30-40 pound bows, and the 7-layer (22" x 22" x 5.5") supports 40+ pound draw weights. Each target features a beautiful silk-covered target face that can be used directly or with additional target paper for enhanced visibility.
What makes these straw targets truly special is their dual nature—they function beautifully as both practical archery equipment and decorative pieces. Many traditional archers display them in their homes or studios, where the hand-woven craftsmanship becomes a conversation piece. Each target includes a convenient lanyard for hanging from ropes or tree branches, making setup effortless for outdoor practice sessions.
Weighing just 6.2 lbs for the 3-layer and under 10 lbs for the 5-layer, these targets are surprisingly portable despite their substantial size. The natural straw core may produce some debris during initial use—this is completely normal and actually indicates you're getting an authentic, natural product. For best results, avoid using bladed hunting arrows, as they'll significantly reduce the target's lifespan. Always ensure there's a safe backdrop in place, as straw targets won't stop arrows completely at high velocities.
