Why Ratel?
Because ordinary targets wear out.
Because practice should be affordable.
Because clubs deserve better.
Because schools shouldn't replace targets every month.
Because coaches need equipment they can rely on.
Because every archer — beginner or champion — deserves equipment that lasts.
That's why we created Ratel.
Built Different
We didn't set out to make another paper target. We set out to solve a problem that every South African archer knows too well — targets that fall apart after a handful of sessions, that can't handle the weather, that cost too much to replace too often.
So we engineered something better.
Premium 440gsm PVC. Designed to withstand more than 1,000 shots under normal practice conditions. Weather resistant. Tear resistant. Built for South African conditions — sun, wind, rain and all.
Built in South Africa
Every Ratel target is proudly designed and manufactured right here in South Africa. Not imported. Not outsourced. Made locally, quality checked locally, and shipped to archers, clubs and schools across the country.
When you buy Ratel, you're supporting local manufacturing and local jobs.
Built for Your Community
We supply individual archers, archery clubs, schools, scout groups, holiday resorts, shooting clubs and outdoor enthusiasts. We offer bulk pricing for clubs and coaches, and custom branding for organisations who want their logo on a target their community can be proud of.
The Name
The ratel — also known as the honey badger — is one of the toughest animals on earth. Fearless. Resilient. Built to take punishment and keep going.
That's exactly what our targets are built to do.
Tough like a ratel.
