I know what your are going threw, I HAVE BEEN THERE TOO !!! . I have friends that made the mistake ( & me too ) and bought different targets for their bows. And like you, had removeal problems. Makes you wish you would have never started shooting them ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ BUT, there is a answer to your problem, the same answer they got and listened. Get a Morrell




YELLOW JACKET F/P CROSSBOWtarget . You will stop all your arrows, and can remove them with two fingers. My wife & kids even go get 'em for me. Tuff, and trouble free. Don't make your life & hobby miserable. Get one of these targets and wave your troubles goodbye. Best investment I have made since my 200lb Horton was purchased !!!! And theanother good thing about it, they are cheaper in price than some of the most targets on the market ..........

You will not be sorry, I promise !!!!!
