Our club uses stramit indoors because:
• For the amount of shooting it gets it lasts the longest (16 lanes shot on 5 days/nights a week with around 200 arrows per round)
• Because we only need to replace it every 2 years it is the cheapest option. Foam, bag and straw butts only lasted around 3 months each
• Because we layer the targets on their side even as they get shot out they remain flat, unlike straw, bag and foam butts
• For those who don't liek stramit we also provide 2 bag targets with cardboard frontage, these require repairing every 3 months
Outdoors we have pulled out our 18 stramit targets and replaced with 34 portable targets with shrink wrap cores that protect the arrows and allow easy extraction. They require monthly maintainance despite having nowhere near the number of arrows shot into them that our indoor range does.
While I personaly hate stramit we have not found anything better for our indoor range, which is considered the best in Australia.
