Full description and what we offer
Power-Stop Archery Targets isn't just another target manufacturer slapping foam together. They're a division of American Excelsior Company, which has been in the foam and materials business since 1888. While other archery target makers source whatever foam is cheapest and available, Power-Stop engineers their own premium foam specifically for archery performance.
"Unlike other archery target manufacturers, we don't use scrap material and we don't use just any quality foam material available. We engineer the highest quality foam material to meet our specific needs, to perform at the optimum level you need."
The difference shows up immediately:
Power-Stop manufactures four distinct target categories:
| Target Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Range targets | Consistent practice at fixed distances |
| Field targets | 3D archery and variable-distance training |
| Curlex® Excelsior targets | Natural material option using excelsior fibers |
| Youth targets | Smaller draw weights, younger archers |
American Excelsior operates the largest excelsior mill in the country (Rice Lake, Wisconsin) and manufactures foam products for industries across packaging, erosion control, and equipment. This industrial-scale expertise in foam science directly benefits archery target construction.
The company's 135-year history shows consistent evolution: - 1890s: Wood excelsior for packaging - 1950s: Foam rubber development - 1960s: Polyurethane foam innovation - 2000s: Advanced viscoelastic foams
That progression of materials research is why Power-Stop targets perform differently than targets made by companies that just buy foam and cut it up.
