A note from Merlin regarding stopping power:

It is a versatile target system suitable for both leisure and tournament use.

However – please keep in mind that we offer no guarantee that they will stop ALL arrow types from ALL bow types.

For example, even the most expensive targets have difficulty stopping carbon arrows from high performance bows. These layered foam targets are manufactured from recycled foam sheets. The thickness, colour and density of this foam varies. We have no control of this as it is dependant entirely on foam availability. It is because of this that a foam target of this size can be sold at an artificially low price.

These are very good targets for the price. But please balance your expectations with the type of equipment being used.

High performance bows with “X10” style arrows will likely require extra packing or a target ‘nappie’. If it is raining, arrows will penetrate more deeply as friction between the layers decreases.

I hope this information allows you to make a more informed choice.
