Block Genz Youth Target

The Block Genz Youth Target is purpose-built for young archers and new hunters working with lighter draw-weight bows under 40 lbs. As someone who has trained countless youth hunters over the seasons, I can tell you that target selection directly impacts shooting confidence and arrow flight consistency—and this Block target delivers on both fronts. Weighing just 6.55 lbs with compact 18" x 16" x 8" dimensions, it's portable enough for backyard practice or portable 3D course work while remaining substantial enough to stop arrows reliably shot from youth-grade equipment.

The Block Genz Youth Target leverages Block's proven open-layered technology—a design that allows arrows to pass through distinct material layers, slowing projectiles progressively and reducing felt rebound. This layered architecture works equally well with field points, expandable broadheads, and fixed-blade broadheads, giving young shooters the versatility to practice with hunting-realistic equipment without target damage. The open design also promotes natural arrow extraction and extends target lifespan compared to dense foam alternatives, which matters when you're managing equipment costs for a youth program or family learning environment.

Youth archers, parents building junior hunter foundations, and archery instructors will find this Block target ideal for controlled practice sessions before field deployment. The 40 lbs. draw-weight ceiling ensures safe arrow behavior for younger or less-developed shooters, preventing over-penetration and equipment wear. Its lightweight footprint makes repositioning between shots effortless—critical when teaching form repetition. Whether you're conditioning a young hunter for their first season or maintaining marksmanship through the off-season, the Block Genz Youth Target delivers the durability and versatility that serious archers demand.
