Default Re-painting Black hole or Block target.

I have the black hole target and the spot or emblem wore off. I was wondering if anybody new what kind of paint I could use on this to make new dots. The kind originally put on was almost spongy and does not come of on your arrows. Thanks-Sam

I used black spray paint on my block. I haven't had any trouble with the paint getting off my shafts.

Use black spray paint.

Some people are afrade that the spray paint will melt the foam. This will not happen. The closed cell foam that is used in the targets will not melt like styrofoam will.

masking tape will actually stick to it, but no other tape i tried, and you can put little pieces all over for multiple bulls-eyes.

Try taking a red Sharpie marker and draw new dots and fill them in I make them smaller than the original and those smaller dots really help your grouping plus does not come off on your arrows.

I use to use a marker on my block, that wore off to quick. Now I use a normal old can of black spray paint. I paint different size dots and a big one (about 5 inches) in the center.

I just did mine with a black premanent marker last night. Up close you can't tell that its darker but when you back away from it, it is noticeably darker.

i have the black hole target and i used silver spray paint and painted aiming dots on mine. the silver shows up really well against the black imo, especially when the target is facing the sun.
