Description

Compact, alert, and elusive—the Duiker – Group 3 (6.6kg) 3D Archery Target is ideal for archers looking to sharpen their shot placement on realistic African small antelope. Its natural posture and accurate anatomy make it a valuable training tool for both bowhunters and 3D course shooters.

History & Background

The name duiker comes from the Afrikaans word “duik”, meaning to dive, a reference to the animal’s habit of diving into thick bush when startled. Duikers belong to the subfamily Cephalophinae and are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Known for their shy nature and solitary habits, they are often encountered only briefly in the wild—making them a challenging quarry.

  The Duiker – Group 3 (6.6kg) target replicates the slender build and forward-curved horns typical of a duiker. Its realistic size prepares archers for accurate shooting on small to medium-sized game animals.

Location, Area & Habits

Duikers inhabit forests, savannas, and dense thickets across Africa. They browse on leaves, fruits, seeds, and sometimes insects.
