Description

If your archery target has been letting you down, shredding apart after a few broadhead passes, or giving you nothing useful to practice on, the BIGshot Pro Hunter 18" is about to make you wonder how you tolerated that frustration for so long. This is a target built by people who actually think about what it takes to be ready when a mature buck steps out at 30 yards and your nerves start doing their own thing. The Pro Hunter does not just give you something to shoot at. It gives you a system to shoot through.

At 18" tall by 18" wide by 13.5" deep, this target packs serious stopping power into a footprint that actually fits your life. At 17.5 lbs, it is light enough to carry to the back forty without blowing up your shoulders before you even pick up a bow. The Elasto-Flex foam core is the real standout here. It grips broadheads and field points with equal reliability, stopping arrows cleanly without destroying them on removal. That means fewer busted fletches, easier arrow pulls, and a target that holds its shape season after season instead of turning into a foam pile after summer practice.

The five dedicated target faces are what separates the Pro Hunter from a plain foam block with a circle drawn on it. Each face is designed to address a specific phase of your shooting journey, whether you are dialing in a new bow, sharpening your form before opener, or pushing your crossbow to the limit at 426 FPS. The tapered body design is not just a cosmetic choice either. That taper keeps the face sitting at a true perpendicular angle to your shooting lane, which means your sight picture is accurate and your practice translates directly to field conditions. This is the kind of detail that shows up in the form of a clean pass-through on opening morning.

BIGshot built the Pro Hunter for every archer in the lineup, compound shooters, traditional bowhunters, and crossbow hunters who want one target that handles everything without compromise. Whether you are punching groups at 20 yards or stress-testing your setup at max speed, this target is ready to work as hard as you do.

Why Archers Love It

Ask any serious bowhunter and they will tell you the same thing. The offseason is where seasons are won or lost. The Pro Hunter 18" gives you a target that actually rewards that mindset. The five-face system keeps your sessions structured and progressive instead of just mindlessly flinging arrows at the same spot until the foam gives out. Hunters who put in real work with this target show up to September with a different kind of confidence, the kind that comes from knowing exactly where your arrow is going before you ever draw back in the field.

The broadhead compatibility alone is worth the investment. Most foam targets will let you practice with field points all summer and then fall apart the moment you switch to your hunting setup. The Elasto-Flex foam changes that dynamic completely. You get to practice the way you hunt, with your actual broadheads, your actual arrows, and your actual setup. No surprises when it counts. That is the kind of consistency that makes the Pro Hunter one of the most trusted targets in the BIGshot lineup, and a staple at a lot of serious bowhunters' setups from late spring all the way through the rut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use broadheads with the BIGshot Pro Hunter 18"?
Yes, the Pro Hunter 18" is specifically designed to handle both broadheads and field points thanks to BIGshot's Elasto-Flex foam technology. The foam grips and stops broadheads cleanly without the catastrophic shredding you get from lesser targets, and arrows pull out without requiring a crowbar or a prayer.

Is the Pro Hunter 18" rated for crossbows?
It is rated up to 426 FPS, which covers the vast majority of crossbows on the market today including most high-performance models. If your crossbow is pushing speeds in that range or below, this target will stop it consistently and hold up over time.

What are the five target faces used for?
Each face is engineered to address a specific stage of your shooting development and preparation. Together they cover everything from initial form and accuracy drills to pre-season tune-ups and hunt-scenario practice. The idea is structured, progressive practice that actually prepares you for real hunting situations rather than just repetitive punching.

How easy is the Pro Hunter 18" to transport and store?
At 17.5 lbs and with dimensions of 18"H x 18"W x 13.5"D, it is compact enough to fit in a truck bed, toss in a garage corner, or carry out to a shooting lane without any major effort. The tapered design was intentionally built to save space during travel and storage, which makes it far more practical than bulkier cube-style targets.

Will the Elasto-Flex foam hold up through an entire season of heavy practice?
BIGshot designed the Elasto-Flex foam for exactly that kind of sustained use. It is built to handle thousands of shots while maintaining its stopping capability and structural integrity. How long it lasts will depend on usage volume and the types of broadheads being used, but hunters who use it consistently through a full pre-season report excellent durability compared to standard foam block targets.

Does the tapered design actually make a difference for accuracy training?
It does in a meaningful way. The taper positions the shooting face perpendicular to your arrow's flight path, which means the sight picture you get in practice more closely mirrors what you see in the field. It is a small design detail that adds up to better muscle memory and more accurate shot placement when a real animal is in front of you.
