OK for traditional or old slower compounds but not for todays fast bows. It will either blow through it or bury in the center. Bag targets are cheap and the way to go IMO. They last and last and offer 2 finger easy arrow removal. I bought a couple of these for like $12 eacha wally world. Work awesome
