With proper care this cover will continue to protect your valuable 3D target for years. It is UV resistant and water resistant. These are the main two elements that cause damage to 3D targets.We have included two three foot nylon cords to be used for securing your cover to your target. You can use them by tying off to a stake from the top loops on your cover, or by using the lower loops and tying off directly to the legs.The cover will fit most targets up to 45″ long. You may need to remove the horns when taking on and off the cover. However, most will fit through the hole with cinch down cord. This hole also allows moisture to escape from inside the cover.Please note: The color of your target cover may fade after long periods in direct sunlight. However, this will not affect the performance of your target cover. Glenrock Archery Products recommends periodic treatments with Nickwax “Tent and Gear Solar Proof”. This spray-on protector works on all weatherproof textiles and increases water repellency and UV protection. If you will not be using your target for extended periods of time, Glenrock Archery Products recommends that you store your target and 3D Archery Target Cover in a cool, dry place to extend the life of each product.
