Statements:

1)    Have been using the DANAGE DOMINO target system for about 10 years – mostly for our target range where we have some 50 members shooting each week at FITA type tournaments ie target ranges from 30^m to 90^m.  Like every Archery club that we know of the problem of target butts is a continuing one.  Basically we destroy our butts as a matter of ‘what we do’. 

Over the history of the club (some 40 years) we have never found a better system than the DANAGE DOMINO target system (having tried foam, telephone books, cardboard, reeds etc) because of the economics (initial cost is high) lightness, replacement of centre area, service from the manufacturer etc. 

The DOMINO System allows the centre area to be replaced with ease – this is without doubt the area of greatest wear whilst the surrounding areas give long life.  DANAGE provide an excellent service in respect to replacement sections of the DOMINO system.

Our view is that whilst the costs are high at the beginning the ability to change centres provides long term benefits and in our view the system gives savings in the long term over any other butt method.

2)  Firstly, I just wanted to let you know that the first 20 DANAGE DOMINO buttresses ordered were used over the weekend of 31 March - 4 April 2006  to make up part of the field for the 56th South African National Archery Championships as well as the All African Games that formed part
of the weekend. They were far superior to butts previously used, particularly with stopping the compound archers arrows that usually experience many passthrough shots on the foam skins butts that have traditionally been used in South Africa.

4)  DANAGE DOMINO Targets are the best targets, organizers can dream of. Archers like them also…

Their light weight, make them easy to handle and do not cost much energy to build and place correctly. This makes the jobs for volunteers a lot more fun. The new stands very are easy to build up and move around even with the DOMINO Target in it.

A combination of a DOMINO Target with a “PowerStop”, will stop every arrow, even the thinnest carbon arrow from the newest and fastest compound bow. This has been proven during two Face 2 Face Archery Tournaments in Amsterdam.

During the 2006 tournament we even used DOMINO Targets from F2F2005. We didn’t notice any problems. This means that the wear during a tournament at the highest level in the world will not make the shooting area of the target unusable and then we have still the option to move parts around or renew only a certain part of the target with a replacement part.

We know for sure, we do not want anything other then the best, F2F uses DANAGE DOMINO Targets.

5)    On behalf of the World Indoor Archery Championships 2005 organising committee and as president of this, I will hereby express my opinion on the DANAGE DOMINO Targets.

My background of this is an archery career since 1980 and 17 years participation on the Danish national team. Through this career, I have participated in more than 500 archery tournaments, of which approximately 100 have been on an international level, and among these the Olympics of 1988 and 1992.

I am presently National Team coach and president of one of the biggest archery clubs in Denmark. Our city and archery club will host the World Indoor Championships 2005.

The choice of target mats is always problematic, as one must consider price, weight, volume, performance and durability. They have to stop all kinds of arrows in all weather conditions, be long lasting and possible to repair on location.

In my long career, I have shot at many different materials, some better than others, and in all honesty; the only target mat that fulfils the requirements by me and all the other archers is the DOMINO target. Therefore, we have chosen to use this mat at the World Indoors 2005 here in Denmark. This has been submitted to FITA, which fully approved this decision.

Conclusively, to avoid any target mat problems in prestigious archers events, the DOMINO target is the only choice. I am pleased to confirm that our expectations to the DOMINO targets where entirely fulfilled. 4 days of shooting without any bouncers, pass throughs or any arrow damage, a very nice experience for all the archers – and also for all the volunteers. No doubt, the DANAGE DOMINO Targets are the best targets available – foam targets are not just foam targets !

6)    "The DOMINO Target Matt from DANAGE is the perfect target for anyone that is serious about having a premium quality target for club, tournament or personal use. The DOMINO is light weight and pack able making it perfect for transport without giving up any durability and if wear dose become an issue just replace the center with one of the easy replaceable module core sections."

Dave Cousins, U.S.A.

7) We are testing our new bow-sting-material (www.gigabow.com) only with DANAGE-targets. The DANAGE material has light weight and it is easy to handle!

So we have only fun with the DANAGE targets and we get 100% correct results – during our tests with the GIGABOW-string materials.

8)  DANAGE DOMINO Targets are the best targets you can shoot on. I have had my private shooting range for many years and appreciate the saving in arrows, no change of the spine value - and I am also happy saving my time replacing the worn out parts instead of repairing the targets. The DOMINO Concept is just perfect ! .. in all aspects. My wish is that the tournament organizers worldwide would use the DANAGE DOMINO Targets.

9) As an archer of more than 30 years of practicing on different target matts, I remember way back in time as we had nothing but the hard stray matts, which destroyed many arrows and caused a lot of pain regarding heavy weight lifting when placing them out on the range and lifting them back again, storing for shelters due to the rain, I most heartly welcome the DOMINO targets as they weigh almost nothing, can last a good time out in the rain, easy storing as they’re resistant to humid weather conditions opposite the stray matts.

DOMINO targets lead the way to easy living as an archer practicing on a daily basis.
