I have one. The centers of the targets shot out pretty fast and I haven't got a replacement cover for it yet.

 

Thats what I was worried about, thats happened to all of mine so far. Do you think its worth it for the price? Its not exactly cheap...

 

The target face of that particular Morrell makes it prone to wearing out the center. I have a couple Outdoor Range Bags that are lasting well, but I pin on cardboard silhouettes of turkey or deer and move them around to spread out the wear. Back in the day when excelsior bales were the big thing in archery ranges and clubs, I shot several that had soft spots near the center where folks kept placing their target faces. Same thing with a blob.....you have to spread things out to prevent that from happening.

 

Thanks for that. I'm super down for using cardboard. I personally believe that cardboard is the solution to EVERYTHING. Is this the one you have? Outdoor Range Bag Target – BIGshot Archery (bigshottargets.com)

 

I wouldn't spend that much on a bag target. You'll wear out a bag target pretty quickly. I buy bag targets for around $50-$60 and go through one or two a year.

 

Which ones do you like using, I very well might follow if your footsteps there...

 

Not the same......the link below is the Morrell version that I own

Thanks for looking that up for me

 

The Morrell

outdoor range and the Keep Hammerin' targets are what I use mostly. I've also used the Super Duper target and it does ok, but the other two last a lot longer and are bigger in size. I keep mine hanging outside all year long but covered.

 

How long do yours usually last you?

 

Since that has the NASP scoring rings I'm gonna bet it is for light poundage (NASP) bows.

 

Now heres a really dumb question.... Do you think I could get away with using a bag on one of these stupid straw target stands? I'm kinda assuming not...

The bag's last much longer if they are hung up by the grommets are free to move. They absorb the impact of the arrows better and last much longer. My Morrell Super Duper target is about 5 years old and it has pretty much been abused and left out in the elements. I've put two covers on it and it is in need of another one. It will soon get taken to the landfill. The Keep Hammerin' target is one year old. It has been left outside under the cover I built for it. The outdoor range target is about 2 years old and it is at my private land in one of the openings to the barn. It stays dry and out of the weather. I leave it there for when I leave to hunt on the farm or on the Urban Hunt close by. It's about a 3 hour drive from my house and it's just easier to leave a target there to shoot while I'm staying with my parents. Typically, a Morrell Super Duper, Outdoor Range, or Keep Hammerin' target will last me 5+ years of daily shooting if I can keep it out of the elements.

 

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Something would last more than six months! That's so helpful

 

HME makes a nice stand for targets, it has hooks for the bag target grommets and fits up to 30" bags. Also can buy a bag cover (target tarp is what i use) so you can leave it outside all the time.

 

Check out third hand archery for a 4x4ft diy target or a 3x3 one there great. The diy sportsman on YouTube has a good video showing how to build the stand. It’s super easy, n lasts pretty long when it’s got a cover. The best part is if u shoot out the center just re stuff tightly and staple on a new front. I used a couple old bag targets and random rags/clothes and mats to make mine. 30$ to buy replacement skins so yea cheaper than buying a whole new bag every year. I’ll try post a pic of mine.

 

Thats awesome, can't wait

 

Last Hurricane I bought was stuffed with rags. Just bought a Morrell Keep Hammering and a couple new Hurricanes.

 

I use the same one Alaska uses. The outdoor range. I have had mine for better than 5 years and replaced the cover once. Still solid. One big mistake most people do with bag targets is not hanging them by the top corners. If you don't you will take at least half the life out of them.

 

Thanks so much!

 

So I think I'm going to go with the Outdoor Range. Sounds like that'll be a safe bet. All of you have been so incredibly helpful. I'm going to hold off on ordering till next paycheck so I'm still open to any of your favorites! Hope everyone is having a fantastic Tuesday!
