The Iconic Target that Started it All is Back in a Backyard Size
Janesville, WI — Rinehart Targets®, the worldwide leader in American-made premium archery targets, is proud to announce the release of its new-for-2026 Signature Velociraptor target, a modern take on the target that launched the brand more than two decades ago. First introduced in 1999, the full-size Velociraptor was Rinehart’s very first target, and it quickly became a symbol of the company’s commitment to realism, durability and innovation.
Reborn in a more backyard-friendly size, the new Rinehart Signature Velociraptor features striking sculpted details in a lifelike, ready-to-strike pose, bringing challenge and fun to every practice session for everyday shooters. Measuring 44 inches tall and 56 inches long, with a simulated weight of 100 pounds, this compact scale Velociraptor offers a fun shooting experience without the space or investment required for a full-size dinosaur.
Built from Rinehart’s legendary solid, self-healing foam, the Signature Velociraptor is engineered to take shot after shot without losing its shape or integrity. This high-quality foam not only stops both field points and broadheads in their tracks, but it also allows for easy arrow removal, self-heals in seconds and is UV and weather-resistant for year-round backyard shooting fun. A patented replaceable locking insert further extends the life of the target, providing even more value out of your target purchase.
“Bringing back the Velociraptor in a new backyard-sized version is more than a nostalgic nod to our history, it’s a symbol of our commitment to pushing innovation forward while staying true to who we are,” said James McGovern, President of Rinehart Targets. “The Velociraptor’s backyard-friendly size makes it a more affordable way for shooters to experience one of our most iconic designs, with the same materials, technology and attention to detail shooters expect from Rinehart,” he added.
Durable, weather resistant, lifelike and unmistakably Rinehart, this is the target that proves innovation belongs at the top of the food chain. Like all Rinehart Targets, the new Signature Velociraptor is 100% made in the USA. For more information, visit rinehart3d.com.
