Title: Target life extender

Abstract: A device for extending the useful life of an archery target in the form of a backup member which may be secured to the reverse side of the target proximate the central zone occupied by a replaceable bullseye plug. The backup member itself comprises a pillow-like pad which is contained within a cloth sleeve, the sleeve being closed at one end and open at its other end. The open end of the sleeve is sufficiently wide to fit around the circumference of the replaceable bullseye plug such that when the plug is inserted into the face of the target, the pillow-like pad is resiliently held in place behind the bullseye zone, preventing arrow pass-through even when the same spot on the bullseye zone has received repeated strikes.
