Deer Heart Targets

A broadside or quartering-away shot through the heart-lung vital area is widely considered the most lethal, causing rapid blood loss and a quick, ethical harvest. This double-lung or heart-lung pass-through minimizes tracking distance. Practicing this exact shot angle on a realistic vitals target builds the muscle memory needed for a clean shot in the field.

Morrell's YJ-400 Yellow Jacket Super Duper Target is rated to stop arrows traveling up to 450 FPS, making it suitable for both compound bows and crossbows. Its 96-layer construction and Internal Frame System with Nucleus center absorb repeated high-speed impacts while maintaining consistent arrow stopping performance over time.

Yes, the YJ-400 Yellow Jacket Super Duper Target is approved for both compound bows and crossbows, handling speeds up to 450 FPS. It is designed for field points only and is not recommended for outserts or field points larger than the arrow shaft, ensuring clean arrow removal and target longevity.

Longevity depends on shot volume and arrow speed, but Morrell's bag targets use 96 layers of arrow-stopping material and an internal frame system to handle thousands of shots. Replacement covers are also available separately, allowing the internal core to be reused once the outer layer wears down, extending overall target life.

These paper faces meet official scoring standards and are available individually or in 100-packs, making them well suited for school archery programs and youth training environments.

Bag targets like the YJ-400 use layered fabric and an internal frame to stop high-speed arrows and are ideal for repeated field point practice.
