A framework constructed from timber provides a stable and elevated platform for archery targets. These structures typically consist of a vertical backstop and a base, often incorporating an angled support to enhance stability. Different designs cater to various target sizes and types, from simple straw bosses to more complex layered foam targets.
Such frameworks offer several advantages. Durability and resistance to weather are inherent in well-constructed timber supports. The elevated positioning of the target enhances visibility and facilitates proper arrow retrieval. Historically, similar structures, though perhaps less refined, have been integral to archery practice for centuries, enabling archers to hone their skills and partake in competitive events. These enduring supports contribute to the preservation of a time-honored tradition.
