Abstract
An archery target is disclosed that is formed from multiple front layers formed from a woven material having laterally displaceable strands to permit penetration of an arrowhead, multiple backing layers formed from material which resists penetration of an arrowhead and a plurality of aligned pockets formed between the front and backing layers. Stuffing material such as raw cotton is compressibly forced into each of the pockets resists lateral displacement of the stuffing material upon penetration of an arrowhead and causes the stuffing material to be compressed in front of the arrowhead to effectively stop the arrow.
