For broadheads the Morrel Yellow jacket is unbeatable, as a broadhead target. Holds up well and doesn't cost too much.

Don't buy one of these...

My bow shoots right through it if I shoot at the wide side.
Shooting at the narrow end is ok, but it's not very big.

i had one of those and it sucked. walt do you remember what kind of target was at the banquet in the far left corner.(if your looking at the stage from the audience) it was a big portable at the bucket raffles. i sat it over there but cant remember what it was called. it was really nice and thick.

Todd - That was a bag target if I'm remembering right.
I really like bag targets, but they are no good for broadheads of course.
Any of these from cabelas are fine.

from the surefire killer of good products, walmart.

to top that, I was in a walmart in Ky or Ohio, I don't remember which, and saw them on sale for less than 30 bucks. I wanted to buy 2 extras then but the hunt was just starting and my truck was kinda full. I figured I'd see em later on someplace and pick a couple up. No such duck have I seen since.

figures, best target value I've seen, I can no longer find.

who are the guys in the picture? maybe one of them has a site and a link to it.

around here the Morrel Yellow jacket is the target of choice. I have used the Block for the last 3 years but it is about shot. The plastic is long gone and the plywood has been replaced. I use ratchet straps to keep it tight. Maybe I am cheap? HMMM

done checked. dead end.

I want em in walmart again. Shipping kills the deal any other way.

Perfect for home or camp use. Made with poly/elastic cross-line coated foam with elastic-type closing capability that reseals and minimizes damage caused by broadheads. Broadheads pull out easily. Target can be shot on all 4 sides. Pre-marked with 10 bull's-eyes (5 on front and 5 on back) and an attached handle for easy carry. For broadhead use only. 22"Hx23"Wx19"D. Made in USA.
Note: Paper Bull's-eyes are non-adhesive and do not come pre-fastened to target.


why the hell are the paper bulls-eyes not attached and how do you attach them. think ill just paint 12 bulls-eyes on each side. why wouldnt you be able to use this for field points too? thats what i planned on using 90% of the time but didnt realize it said, "broadhead use only".

I just get a couple packages of neon self adhesive round dots. 3/4" for up close and 1-1/4" for further out. You can see them a long ways against the black .

As far as pulling field points, 2 out of the 3, haven't been bad and but the other one is near impossible. I wrote them asking about that and they said it just depends on the specific batch of foam.
