Archery target with replacable target segment

A three-dimensional archery target simulating the shape of an animal and having a replacable segment for use with broadhead arrows and comprising:

• (a) First and second body segments, said first body segment having a shape simulating the forward extremity of an animal and said second body segment having a shape simulating the rearward extremity of an animal;
• (b) a replacable target segment having a shape corresponding to the central trunk of a corresponding animal for being matingly and detachably positioned between said first and second body segments to collectively define the entire body portion of a corresponding animal;
• said target segment being comprised of a lightweight, semi-rigid, tangle-free and non-healing foam material adapted for controlled disintegration from arrow impact and from which broadhead arrows can be withdrawn without damage to the arrowhead or shaft, wherein said target segment comprises a foam having a relatively high density and said first and second body segments have a relatively lower density in order to enable the replacable target segment to withstand the impact of arrows for a longer period;
• (c) Means for releasably retaining said target segment between said first and second body segments in resistance to force in one direction caused by the impact of arrows thereon and to force in the opposite direction caused by removal of arrows.
