I've been shooting field points into my Morrell Yellow Jacket target almost daily since I had Bypass surgery last Sept. I started out at 35# as an recovery therapy to strengthen the upper chest and back, then I discovered something, I loved archery!! I've long since graduated to a fine PSE hunting bow at 62# with fiber sights and a WB rest and am proud to say I consistantly put arrows into a 9 inch paper plate (at 40 yds) that I stick to the above Morrell with a roofing nail so that I can relocate it to different section (front and backside) after a couple days of shooting.
Now to my questain, the Morrell has been recovered twice now with replacement target faces, but the original insides are almost destroyed, often times arrows will bury to the nocks because the insides are no longer packed tightly. Is there a way of wrapping this target with something that will rejuvinate it, then putting yet another replacement target face onto it? or has it seen enough arrows to be retired for good?
Thank you for helping a recovering 'couch potato' that changed from TV sports to the Real thing............................................. ................

I would say it's time to retire her and geta new one.

For some reason I just can't get myself to unload the wallet on a new target.
I'll spend my fair amount on anything else hunting related, but the target is whereI get cheap. It's just something I shoot into time & time again.

If you look in this pic you'll seeI wrapped mine TIGHT with some plastic caution tape I scrounged (out of a garbage can-used not stolen) from work. It is made of some sort of nylon or poly, sort what the bag cover is made from.

I tied it tight and it has allowed me to skip one more year before I spring for another bag.
Another way of stopping the arrows is to place your broadhead target behind your bag.

I keep my worn out broadhead targets and layer them behind my current arrow stoppers.

Congrats on your accidental find of a new Love!

Go to a feed store and get yourself a synthetic burlap bag to stuff it in. I've been shooting the same "guts" for years.....litterally. You can paint on the dots if you like.

Hey Davec, that little "gay rainbow archer" on my Bowtech is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. In fact it looks like it is so shiny and glittery that it could spook game. I wil be covering mine. What in the hell was Bowtech thinking?

Everyone ,this whatI am talking about.

I'm not sure what they were thinking in todays world. Maybe they don't believe in giving up on the rainbow as it originally had religious meaning.

I'm sure you know the story- It was sent as asign from God to Noah and his family on the ark as a promise to never totally flood the earth again.
Somewhere along the way the gay nazi's were allowed to steal the rainbow from society. Now it is no longer a symbol from God but a sign that the occupants of a vehicle may prefer doing things in their bedroom that once was taboo.

Since I'm heterosexual what's my sign?

BTW, I'm not giving up on the Rainbow and refuse to let the gays have it.
(don't have a sticker on my truck though) see-




BTW, I believe it also serves as a cover for the cable rods allen bolt that holds it in place.



Feed sack? I'm all over that!, dangit- I threw away some 35 sacks last week that just might have worked[:'(]

It does impress me that they are a Christian Company. Truball is too. I think a cool bowtech logo would look better and forget the shine and sparkly glitter on a hunting bow.

I wonder if you could take the cover off (it does come off) and hit it with some 400 grit sandpaper if that would nock some shine off it with out making it too ugly?

I stomped and poked all the stuffing back into one of my shot up ones,and then wrapped it with a tarp .I used duct tape on the edges,it works great!Next time I'll roll and curl up the bottom then poke an awl through the bottoms then stich with nylon wrope then pull tight.I have since pulled the paper morell target face off and painted some highway hi vis orange paint marks for bullseyes on the face .Here is a pic.
