3D Archery Target and Scoring Inserts

thingiverse

Need to practice some 3D Archery scoring for that next tournament on a standard flat surface? Well I did, so I created a universal ASA 3D Archery Target with inserts so you can change them out when they get worn out, damaged, trashed. There is also a solid one-piece target with raised scoring circles so you don't have to keep removing the individual inserts from your arrows individually once your arrow pieces them. If you print the solid one piece target you can just go over the numbers and circles with a sharpie to see the different areas from further away. I copied to the specs of what I found online but the inserts may be a tad bit smaller than the real deal due to my limited 6x9 printing bed on my FlashForge Creator Pro. Meant to be printed with TPU or another flexible material so not to damage your tips or cause a mess on the ground with fractured PLA parts, but that's your call. I tested these and the TPU material also pretty much flexes back into place after you pull your arrow out. You can make them thicker or thinner based on your preference and even print separate inserts for easy replacement. I found anywhere between 3-6mm thickness to be pretty good to hold it's shape well when getting punctured over and over, and my 35# traditional bow string weight can still produce enough power to pierce it. The solid one-piece file is 7mm thick so you would have to adjust it on your own. Hang the assembled 3D target up on your main target with a nail or something pushed through. Happy shooting!
