Home > Archery Kit > Delta Walking Brown Bear Target

Deltas' walking brown bear is from the Elite series North American Game targets.

One of my favourite 3D targets, he stands 31" tall, 48" long and 11" wide, a really great design which gives a nice solid target with no sticky out bits to get broken off. The front and rear legs are twist lock, which is the plastic sleeve joint system, just a quarter turn will remove the legs but the extra support of a hard plastic coated joint will mean that these joints should last. An extra bonus with this target is that the head too has the twist lock joint.

The vitals are removable and replaceable with the beast being made from Deltas' Tech Flex E-Z pull foam.

This target has been used for over a year and has been well and truly shot by dozens of archers every week, it still looks good and shows no sign of falling apart, I like how it is an almost square block of target but looks exactly like what it is supposed to be, so good is it that we in fact have several of these.

Rating

Will last for a long time, a nice solid target with replaceable vitals.

Excellent price for a big chunky target.

Possibly my favourite 3D in terms of price and performance.
