My archery targets are my most-used pieces of gear by far. Each year, I test no less than seven new bows, 10 new types of arrows, and more broadheads than I can remember. With all the shooting that this testing routine requires, I go through targets like water.
Because I'm using so many of them, it's easy to pinpoint the top six in terms of shootability, durability, and overall target performance. These are quality targets that allow me to field-test field points and broadheads alike, and I'm confident that any one of them would provide you with seasons of no-fail use.
Here are the specs, pros, and cons of each so you can decide which one is right for your shooting regimen.
Best Overall: Block Infinity 22"
Specs
Materials: PolyFusion layered foam
Weight: 24 lbs
Dimensions: 22" x 22" x 22"
Pros
6-sided shooting
Stops field points and broadheads
Foam rated to 500 fps
Easy arrow removal
Cons
Outer foam pulls away over time
Each year, I test a number of new bows, arrows, broadheads, sights, rests, and releases. All of these field tests have one thing in common: They all require the shooting of arrows—lots of them—into targets.
My number one go-to is Block's Infinity 22". Block also offers this six-sided square target in a 20-inch model, but I highly recommend the extra two inches. The target is ideal for close and long-range shooting, and I appreciate that each side features different graphics. From deer vitals to solid/open square clusters and single squares, there's a lot you can do with Block's Infinity 22".
I don't cover my targets. They stay out in the heat, snow, and rain, and Block's Infinity 22" holds up. I shoot the target with field points and every type of broadhead on the market, and the high-density layered foam inner core, with an exterior foam that delivers maximum stopping power, means these targets will take severe abuse. It's important to note, however, that large-cut mechanicals and fixed-blade broadheads—especially those with offset blades—will reduce this target's life more quickly.
Best 3D: Delta McKenzie Big Daddy QuivAR Buck
Specs
Materials: Self-healing foam
Weight: Heavy
Dimensions: 41" x 48" x 54"
Pros
Actual size of a mature whitetail buck
Stops field points and broadheads
Anatomically correct view of the vitals and bone structure
Easy arrow removal
Cons
Make a better antler system
My favorite 3D archery target of 2025, and one I shoot a lot, is Delta MCKenzie's Big Daddy QuivAR Enabled Buck target. With scoring rings on one side and a small circle over the heart on the other, this target is life-size, ultra durable, and the 100 percent self-healing foam is remarkable. I've shot this target with field points, fixed-blade, mechanical, and hybrid broadheads, and it stops them all.
What I love most about the target is the integrated QuivAR chip. Download the QuivAR app, scan the chip located in the target's rear, and get exact digital anatomy to see exactly where your arrow hits. Better yet, the app lets you add or remove bone structure and organs. The app's scan feature is 360 degrees so that you can scan the target's anatomy from all sides, including the top and bottom.
This ultra-realistic target came in handy last fall when I made a marginal shot. I used the video I took of the arrow's actual placement in the animal, then came home and shot the target in the same place. The target's vitals are extremely accurate, and I was confident I caught the liver. I did, and I recovered that buck.
Like all Delta McKenzie 3-D targets, the Big Daddy QuivAR Enabled 3D is a blast to shoot, allows for easy arrow removal, and after 360 days in the field, my QuivAR chip still works like a charm.
Best Cube Target: Rinehart RhinoBlock XL
Specs
Materials: Self-healing, replaceable foam inserts
Weight: 17 lbs
Dimensions: 18" x 18" x 13"
Pros
Amazing self-healing foam
Stops field points and broadheads
Rope carry handle
Easy arrow removal
Six-sided shooting
Cons
Price
It's hard to beat Rinehart's self-healing foam, and now, with replaceable solid foam inserts available, you can always have one on the sidelines that's ready to come in and save the day. An excellent target for any range or any trip, I like the tan deer-vital side, and the individual dots in various sizes let you dial in at short and long distances.
I'm not a big fan of targets with only small and large circles or squares. For some shooters, me included, smaller, more precise dots are excellent at 20 and 30 yards, but larger dots help with aiming beyond 30 yards. The target's durability is impressive, and it will handle field points and all types of broadheads. Plus, arrows pull from this target like butter. The target is 100 percent weatherproof, and the paint doesn't fade even after a year in the hot sun.
Best Bag Target: Morrell Yellow Jacket MOD Pro
Best Bag Target: Morrell Yellow Jacket MOD Pro
Specs
Materials: Polypropylene
Weight: 56 lbs
Dimensions: 29" x 13" x 31"
Pros
Replaceable shooting wraps
Rated to 435 fps
E-Z tote carry handle
Cons
Weather takes its toll
Arrows with oversized outserts make arrow removal difficult
Morrell owns the bag target space, and its MOD Pro with replaceable target wraps is the best I've found. It's big enough to be a range target, but not too big to take on trips. It's also the best target I have found for tuning a bow, especially with the included MOD Pro Tuning + Precision wrap, which has elevation and horizontal lines every 1/2-inch in a scope-style reticle pattern.
The target also has dots and squares in sizes of 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch, as well as blank squares. This wrap reduces sight-in time, and while the wraps are weatherproof, you don't want to leave the actual target out in the weather.
This target stops arrows dead. However, it's not recommended for arrows with an outsert that is larger than the arrow's diameter. Still, I shoot my Easton Half-Out inserts into the target all the time, and I've yet to have to get out the exacto knife and start cutting.
Best Budget: Morrell Yellow Jacket Swarm
Specs
Materials: Polypropylene
Weight: 19 lbs
Dimensions: 20" x 11" x 20"
Pros
Two-sided shooting
Rated to 335 fps
38 layers of stopping power
Cons
Arrows with oversized outserts make arrow removal difficult
Don't shoot groups into the same spot
This is a budget bag designed to take a beating, and if you're the type of hunter that only slings a few arrows a few times a year, this is the bag target for you. Rated to 335 fps, I don't recommend this target for crossbows, and the internals will wear out if you shoot the center bullseye-style dot every time. Spread your arrows out, though, and this target will last.
The Swarm has 38 layers of arrow-stopping power, and arrow removal is generally smooth. Like the MOD Pro, Morrell doesn't recommend outsetters or field points larger than the arrow shaft. The E-Z Tote carry handle is nice for transport, and the top wings with brass rings let you hang the target from chains if you wish.

Best for Travel: Morrell BIG High Roller Foam
Specs
Materials: High Roller Foam
Weight: 18 pounds
Dimensions: 16" x 16" x 16"
Pros
6 sides; 21 bullseyes
Rated to 500 fps
Weather resistant
Stops field points and broadheads
Cons
Too small
If this target were a little bigger, it would have won our Best Target award. You can't beat the 2-inch diameter dice-style dots. My only problem is that I always shoot out the single center dot first, and though that takes hundreds of arrows, I recommend shooting all six sides. I'd also advise using the single-dot dice side for long-range sight-in, then switching to any of the other sides for close-range sight-in.
The High Roller Foam is ultra-durable. Last year, I put over 700 broadhead-tipped arrows into my High Roller Foam cube-style target, and it still stops arrows. I appreciate the rope-style handle that lets me tote the target anywhere, and sometimes, it's fun to roll the dice and play an archery game or two. Removing the arrow from this target is ultra-easy, and it will hold up to anything Mother Nature can throw at it.
