My second BH target is shot to bits and I love it. I have since purchased a Morrell's Eternity bag for my feild points and I'm very happy with it as well. My first Yellow Jacket BH target was a pain in the butt to pull arrows out of, I thought I was going to give myself a hernia and this was with Muzzy 3 blade 100gr BHs. I called Morrell's and asked them what was going on. I had a new target delievered to my house 2 days later. The new target is the one that is now shot to bits after hundreds of shots. The arrows were much easier to remove. I guess the first had a bad batch of foam or something, who knows. With customer service like that and the 2 great products I now own, I am a Morrell's customer for life! And they are FOUR sided targets. You can shoot through the plastic wrapper. I removed the plastic on mine and spray painted spots on it. I'll soon be buying another as I plan on shooting BH only for 3 months leading up to archery season.

I understand that it's a broadhead only target. My post states that I was shooting my slick trick "broadheads" for the first time. As far as the four sided thing goes. Mine has black corrugated plastic coming down from the top where the handle is and up from the bottom as well. So if it is supposed to be able to be shot at the slot of foam showing is only a few inches tall. My target has gray foam faces, with the "yellowjacket" plastic wrapped around the circumference. I suppose that if it needs to be returned I will have to send it to Cabela's rather than deal with Morrel direct?

I just went and looked at my target again, just so I can't be accused of "smoking something". My target does have the cardboard center, which is the middle layer of the target. So there is no way my target is 4 sided, I just have the 2 faces. Does anyone know if this an older style and the new ones are truly 4 sided? Thanks

I just got my broadhead yellowjacket target, and shot it ten times with fieldpoints. They were hard to get out, but I managed.
The four sides refers to the two main faces, the largest faces. The other two faces are the smaller ones, on the side.
So, if you were standing over you target, and looking at the handle, then the four sides that are not the handle or the ground side are the four shootable sides.
I am skeptical about it though, shooting it from al four sides.
I just ordered my broadheads and a yellowjacket FP target, and I am looking forward to getting both. I cant wait to sling a Wasp SST at that yellowjacket.

Cause I HATE yellowjackets!

I shoot the yellow jacket too.I think alot of people don't shoot their broadheads before season and then they wonder why they miss an animal.

Say bowtech, I have a yellow jacket bag target with the red dots on it and a lot of the times my fieldtips are VERY hard to pull out. I don't like this bag target like my deltas. My delta bags I can easily remove an arrow with no effort. You or any guys have this problem?

By the sounds of it, you have the Jellow Jacket "Crossbow Target". I just bought one, havent test ran it yet though. Just finished painting some targets on the foam.

Does seem kind of fishy that some people love it and appear to have been around the block on this forum if you will and some relative newcomers can't find anything right with it. I shot the pee out of my friends broadhead yellowjacket target with him last summer and am getting my own this year. Seems to be a pretty good investment for $40 plus when you figure it costs you $25 plus for a cheap foam piece of crud broadhead target from wally world.
