Default Stuffing a Bag Target

I have a Morrel bag target that is getting a little worn in the center dot. Arrows bounce out of it regularly. I have heard folks talk about re-stuffing this type of target and extending its life. What do you use for the stuffing? Thx. Roskoe

One thing you might try before re-stuffing is to stomp it. I take my bag down and stomp on it to push the stuffing around inside it.after thatit works good again.

Get a replacement cover for it, put the cover on lay it on the ground and jump on it then turn it over and jump on it some more.

We have 2 Morrell outdoor range bags and thats all we do replace the covers about once a year.
