Abstract
An archery target constructed of compressed layers of foam. Layers of cross linked, closed cell polyethylene foam of 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness and a density of 2 to 4 pounds are stacked and compressed between support platens positioned to maintain the compressive forces over the central portion of the target. Band retainers are secured around the target to maintain compression and retain the layers in registry to one another. A weather resistant cover can be trained around the baled target and a handle can also be mounted to the binding support platens.
