Overview

KAINOKAI presents a traditional handwoven straw archery target that blends heritage craft with practical performance. Crafted from natural straw, this target carries a timeless aesthetic that appeals to traditional bow enthusiasts, while offering a more eco-friendly option that’s easy on arrows and the environment. Beyond training, it can serve as a charming decor piece when not in use.

Materials, surface, and setup

The surface is finished with a silk-like target image, giving you a clean aiming plane. The target body includes a hanging lanyard for quick setup on a rope or tree limb, or it can simply rest on a shelf as a rustic display.

• 3-layer versions weigh about 6.2 lbs, while 5-layer targets stay under 10 lbs for portability.
• All models are handmade by a farmer, so natural variation in size can occur. If you’re particular about exact dimensions, please review the listed sizes carefully.

Sizes, layers, and practical weights

• 3 layers: 20 x 20 x 2.3 inches
• 3 layers: 32 x 32 x 2.3 inches
• 5 layers: 20 x 20 x 3.9 inches
• 7 layers: 22 x 22 x 5.5 inches

Choosing the right target for your bow

Guidance based on draw weight and distance helps you pick sensibly. For an 18-meter shooting distance, a 3-layer target suits below 30 pounds, a 5-layer target is ideal for 30–40 pounds, and a 7-layer target is recommended for 40 pounds or more. You may also pair two 3-layer targets if that fits your setup. The 32-inch target is especially designed for outdoor use at 30–50 meters.

Notes on use and care

• The core is forage-based, so you may see debris during use—this is normal and part of the natural material. Debris does not affect the target’s basic function.
• Do not shoot bladed hunting arrows into the target to preserve its life. Ensure there is no one behind the target and keep a safe area around your shooting zone.
• The product is handmade by a farmer and may have minor size variations from the listed measurements.
