KAINOKAI Traditional Handcrafted Straw Archery Target

W. Frank Agee: I really like this target. With a homemade stand in my range area, all I have to do is put it on the stand, use it, and when done take it back inside for protected storage until next time. This works great. My 45 pound bow will not go through it either. Couldn't be happier.

Md Haque: If you’re practicing almost every single day it will eventually fall apart, but all in all great quality, I do recommend the bigger sizes however

David Griffith: Great target. Using a 35# bow. Much more than that and you will need the thicker one.

Marie-Claude Thibeault: Just as expected. My bow is a 30 lbs and I should have taken another layer in the target. I have to be at 40ft from it otherwise it sometimes goes too deep into it.

Robert: I've had the target for a little bit and shot maybe 100 arrows or so at it. So far, it works perfectly fine. It's a little hard to pull the arrows out, but it's a new target, so that's hardly surprising. It's got a bit of heft to it, weighs maybe...15-20#s? but not unwieldy at all. It's also got a little silk string near the top going through the layers that you can use to hang the thing.

There's one bad thing about the target, which I wouldn't really put at the feet of the manufacturer. I'm using a 45# bow at about 8 yards (I don't have a huge amount of space to work with) and if I hit the target dead-center, the backing of the last layer pops out a bit and looks like a cinnamon roll. The arrow is still stopped safely and I'm able to just push it all back together, but I'm pretty sure that's not the ideal solution to fix a prolapsed spiral.

Now, I'm shooting a traditional asiatic bow, no sights, stabilizer, or even an arrow rest, so I don't expect to repeatedly hit exactly the same point with all 3 arrows, but it may be possible if you were a better archer than me or just had a compound bow to actually damage the integrity of the target.

Of course, you could...

m: Don't leave it in the rain, and after a while it will fall apart. But I like it's compact size. The question is: where do you hang it?

DelS: I haven't been able to use it yet but it has a very solid feel and a good weight. I have no doubt it will last longer than my older bag target
