FAQ: Frequent Archery Question: What stops the arrows?
Inside many archery targets, you'll find hundreds of thin foam layers compressed together (bright orange in this case). Instead of shooting into the foam, the arrow slides between the layers and is stopped by the friction with minimal damage to the foam.
This creates targets that will hold up to thousands of shots.
The example layers in the pic are actually quite a bit thicker than usual.
