Description

Massive, powerful, and steeped in history—the European Bison (Core) – Group 1 (77kg) 3D Archery Target delivers an authentic large-game challenge for serious archers. Designed to simulate one of Europe’s most formidable wild animals, this target offers realistic size, anatomy, and shot placement training for advanced bowhunters and 3D competitors.

History & Background

The European bison (Bison bonasus), also known as the wisent, is Europe’s heaviest surviving land mammal. Once roaming across the continent, it was nearly driven to extinction in the early 20th century. Thanks to conservation efforts, herds have been successfully reintroduced to forests in Poland, Belarus, Germany, and other regions. Respected for its strength and resilience, the bison has long symbolized wilderness and survival in European culture and mythology.

Physical Description

• Dimensions: (H) 1400 mm × (L) 2350 mm × (W) 450 mm

• Weight: 77 kg
  The full-sized European Bison (Core) – Group 1 (77kg) 3D target captures the muscular build, dense neck, and imposing hump typical of a mature European bison. Designed with rugged materials and a durable replaceable core, it’s built for heavy use with high draw-weight bows.

Location, Area & Habits

European bison live in mixed forests, meadows, and river valleys. They graze on grasses, shrubs, and bark, moving slowly in small herds. Despite their size, they can reach speeds of up to 40 km/h when threatened and defend themselves aggressively—making them a true test of shot placement awareness and ethical hunting practice.

Shooting Instructions
