American Whitetail Hyper 420

American Whitetail has thrown down the gauntlet with what it bills as the “first real all-purpose target.” The new-for-2010 Hyper 420 A/P employs a new material called ArrowArmour, combined with American Whitetail’s MDL (Multi Layer Density) manufacturing method to achieve a target that will stop 420 fps crossbow bolts, the tiniest FITA arrows, or any other arrow tipped with a broadhead or field point as well as release the arrow easily. The target is self-healing, closing tight when arrows are removed to increase target life, and multiple dots of varying size allow the best use from any distance, in addition to providing multiple aiming spots for enhanced target longevity.
