Abstract: A composite archery target 10 includes a first member 12 fabricated from a tear resistant material, a second member 14 fabricated from a healing material, the second member 14 is disposed about the first member 12, and a glue 16 for securing the second member 14 to the first member 12; such that a composite archery target 10 is fabricated that prevents an arrow from traveling through the target 10, that minimizes damage to the target 10 when the arrow is removed from the target 10, and that allows an archer to withdraw an arrow from the target 10 with a relatively small extraction force. A third member 52 may be included when preselected arrows require a modified composite archery target 50 with added resistance to the penetrating capability of the preselected arrows.
