About Ratel Training Targets

🇿🇦 Proudly South African. Built Different.

Ratel Training Targets was born from a simple frustration: South African archers deserved better equipment than what was available. Paper targets that dissolved in the first summer storm. Foam targets that crumbled in the Highveld heat. Imported products that didn't understand local conditions, local budgets or local needs.

So we built our own.

Ratel targets are designed and manufactured right here in South Africa — engineered specifically for our climate, our ranges and our archers. From the backyard shooter to the national competitor, from the school sports programme to the club coach, every Ratel target is built to perform where it matters.

🦡 Why Ratel?

The honey badger — the ratel — is one of the toughest animals on earth. Fearless. Resilient. Built to take punishment and keep going. It doesn't quit.

That's exactly what we build into every target.

Tough like a Ratel.
