Archery Target Blocks for Ranges

Building a large target requires dense, layered foam or fill material capable of stopping arrows at high speeds while allowing easy removal, such as patented MLDD construction. Rather than building from scratch, most ranges opt for pre-engineered commercial targets like the Outdoor Range XXL, which offers a massive shooting surface with over 50 bullseyes and weather-resistant durability.

MLDD, or Multi-Layered Density Design, is a patented construction method using multiple foam layers to stop arrows at speeds up to 380 FPS while keeping arrow removal easy. This layered approach reduces wear from repeated impacts, significantly extending the usable life of the target compared to single-density foam or bag designs.

Yes, several models including the Outdoor Range XXL and Keep Hammering Outdoor Range Bag Target are crossbow and compound bow approved, rated to stop bolts and arrows traveling up to 380 FPS. Always confirm the specific target's speed rating and arrow tip compatibility before use with high-poundage crossbows.

Yes, the NASP Eternity School Target is purpose-built for National Archery in the Schools Program use, featuring a lightweight, portable design with roller wheels, side straps, and a tilt-proof stability bar. It's designed for field point arrows from bows with 50 lbs draw weight and under, matching typical youth program requirements.

Commercial-grade targets with IFS and MLDD construction are built for extended service life, with many models shootable on two to four sides to distribute wear evenly. Replacement covers are also available separately for most models, allowing ranges to refresh worn targets without replacing the entire core, further extending usable lifespan.

Most Morrell target blocks are designed exclusively for field point arrows and are not recommended for broadheads, outserts, or field points larger than the arrow shaft. Using incompatible points can damage the internal layers and reduce arrow-stopping performance, so always match arrow tip type to the target's stated compatibility.

Morrell target blocks carry recognized certifications including NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program) approval and I.B.O. (International Bowhunting Organization) official target status. These designations confirm the targets meet the safety, durability, and performance standards required for youth training programs and official bowhunting competitions.
