  • Patent number: 6068261
    Abstract: An archery target having a solid clay core surrounded by a high density foam wherein the core is capable of stopping an inestimable number of broadhead-tipped arrows in a manner nondestructive to either the arrows (or any components thereof) or the target itself. The clay core is essentially indestructible and can be restored to a like new condition through a simple procedure compressing the arrow holes remaining in the clay, the clay being formulated to allow easy withdrawal of broadhead arrows without damage to the arrow and with a minimum of residual material left on the arrow. Multiple clay cores may also be used to represent vital areas of an animal and/or as multiple bull's-eye for a target.
