Default Got my yellowjacket target

You guys were right - the yellowjacket broadhead target is awesome. It replaced the black hole and what a difference. I've already shot about 50 shots into it and there is very little damage so far. It's the best 40 bucks I've spent in this sport so far. I highly recommend it.

I shot the piss out of mine the last 2preseasons and it's just about out of usable places to shoot at. I've turned it and remarked it (masking tape spots work great against the black face) to the point of I think it's had it.
I'll try to squeeze one more season out of it but doubt it will make it.

Nice thing is the old ones make great back stops to put behind the new ones!

Congrats on your new target!

I blew through my Yellow jacket on the first shot right to the fletching and I'm only shooting about 260fps

If you hit it in the middle you didn't. I shoot over 400 grains hunting arrows, with speeds in excess of 300 FPS, and the only time i've ever done that was on an older one that had the center shot out of it.. not calling you a lair, just hard to believe.

Hint on the yellow jacket. Try shooting it in different places, if you shoot the same spot you will hollow it out.

I'm currently in the market for a broadhead target myself and i think i'll give the yellowjacket a try.I've heard nothing but positive feedback on these targets. >------------> Mike

What I like about them is the price compared to the block 4x4. I have the block 4x4 and my friend has the yellow jacket. So far both are holding up just fine.

Hey "The Rev" I don't like to be called a liar. I'm just telling you my first arrow into a yellow jacket broadhead target went right to the fletching. Can someone tell me why they have a brown cardboard box in the target.

Annika3, having talked to my proshop owner and having read 5 Shot's results from his testing, I find it hard to believe myself that you shot through it. At least with 260 fps. My shop owner shoots around 270 fps with 475 grainarrows and doesn't do that.

You might have been unlucky and by chance got a bum target. I wonder if you could have taken it back?

I suppose it could have had an air bubble in it or something. The world doesn't make everything perfect. Bad target I can believe, but it sure would make you wonder about quality control. Don't know the process so can't tell how hard it would be to get an air bubble in it when they pour.
