Hey all.
I wanted to get some advice on bag targets and their sizes. I ordered a 70cm target bag from a company.
When it arrived, the bag looked small. The foam that I?d be firing into on the front of the target ? was about 64cm high. I measured from the top and bottom edges of the foam that I could feel in the bag.
Confused, I got in touch with the shop and sent photos. Their position is that the 70cm comes from the total size of the bag, not only the foam that makes up the front of the target. The bag goes higher than the foam.
Is this the standard way of measuring bag targets in the industry ? something that everyone is used to? As someone new to archery, this feels like an odd way of doing this.
Yes, the arrow could get stuck in the top or sides of the bag. There is some padding there. But I?d be aiming at the front of the target.
The shop said the bag is within their tolerance for dimensions, so I?d have to pay return postage myself if I wanted a refund (or I could buy the ?90cm? and get free delivery).
I need to figure out if any bag I get, from any manufacturer, would be measured in this way. If so, then perhaps it isn?t worth returning it and spending more money.
It feels like I ordered a large pizza, but got a medium one delivered in a big box.
Thoughts?
