1. Keep It Off the Ground
Keep your target up and away from any potential moisture. This helps keep it clean and prevents water damage.
2. Avoid Solid Backing
Don’t place anything solid directly behind the target. Allowing the target to recoil when shot, reduces arrow penetration and improves target longevity.
3. Hang Your Target by the Handle
Hanging your target allows it to swing slightly, reducing arrow penetration. Also, keeping the target off the ground, saving you from bending over as much when removing arrows.
4. Cover Your Target When Left Outdoors
While it's not required, covering your target when left outside can help protect it from the UV rays, extending its lifespan. Though we haven’t seen major issues, we suggest that you cover your targets with a tarp or grill cover for added protection.

After about 50–75 shots, rotate your target and shoot the opposite side. This helps the internal core of the target shift and settle evenly, which extends the life of your target and maintains consistent stopping power.

The worst mistake you can make is shooting most of your arrows in the same spot. Arrow manufacturers might love it —because it means you’ll need to replace your arrows more often. While some target companies benefit too, since worn-out targets lead to buying new ones more frequently. But SpyderWeb Targets are specially designed so you won’t have to replace your arrows or your target anytime soon.

Bumps happen, and sights can shift —especially after transporting your bow. Before taking longer shots, fire a few close-range arrows to confirm your sight is still accurate. Use our clover-shaped pattern in the middle of our target and hit the five different spots. Avoid grouping all arrows in one area to prevent damaging them.

Use the four large "Web" spots for your standard practice distances. We have also provided an additional 100+ precise aiming points for you to take advantage of, or play a game with.

Use the four large "Blue Crosshair" spots for your standard practice distances. Additionally, we have 70+ aiming points for you to outperform yourself with each shot, or play some games with friends.

For long-range practice, focus on our points in the center of the target, reducing your chances of hitting the edges. You’ll see five center spots intentionally designed for long-distance shooting. This setup allows you to shoot five arrows at-a-time, so you don't have to continue walking back and forth — while reducing the risk of damaged arrows by keeping them spaced apart.

When arrows get stuck in the target face, it's typically caused by the arrow, insert, or tip not being flush.

• If the tip is the issue, try tips that match the arrow shaft’s diameter to reduce any potential hang-ups.
• If the problem is with the insert or outsert, it’s easy to fix — When removing arrows, swirl them gently in a circular motion to widen the Spylar Mesh strands apart, enlarging the hole on the target face. You might still feel some resistance, but it will be much less than if the arrow is stuck.

While unlikely, pass-throughs can happen. It usually means a soft spot has developed within the core of your target. Stepping on it won’t help move the stuffing back into place — so let your arrows do the work instead.

Here's two ways we suggest to fix it:
1. Shoot Around the Soft Spot
Think of the soft spot as the center of a clock. Aim about 3 inches away at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. This will push the stuffing back toward the center, strengthening the core again.

2. Change Up your Shooting Angle
Slightly angle your shots to move the stuffing. Instead of shooting straight on, take some steps to the right or left. This helps push the stuffing back into the soft area as it penetrates.
