Rag Bag Archery Targets

Durable, weather-resistant synthetic covers are ideal, as they resist moisture, UV degradation, and abrasion from repeated arrow impacts. Morrell's bag targets use heavy-duty replaceable covers over multi-layered internal fill (like patented MLDD), which protects the core while allowing easy, low-cost cover replacement instead of buying an entirely new target.

Bag targets use layered, densely packed fabric fill inside a durable cover to stop arrows and allow easy pull-out, making them ideal for field points. Foam targets use solid foam blocks that can handle field points and sometimes broadheads, but generally wear out faster under high-volume field-point-only shooting compared to a well-built bag target.

Morrell bag targets are built with 46 to 100+ layers of arrow-stopping material depending on the model, allowing thousands of shots before performance declines. Commercial-grade models with IFS technology and a Nucleus center, like the Outdoor Range XXL, are engineered specifically for high-volume use at ranges and clubs.

Yes, several Morrell bag targets are crossbow and compound approved, including the YJ-450 Plus, YJ-425, and Outdoor Range XXL, which are rated to stop arrows and bolts traveling up to 380-450+ FPS. Always confirm the specific model's maximum speed rating matches your crossbow's bolt speed before use.

No, Morrell's bag targets, including the Yellow Jacket and Outdoor Range lines, are designed exclusively for field point arrows and are not recommended for broadheads or outserts larger than the arrow shaft. Using broadheads can damage the internal fill and significantly shorten the target's usable lifespan.

For casual backyard practice, compact targets like the Yellow Jacket® Supreme 3 (23"x12"x23") or Center Punch 35" are portable and affordable. If you want more shooting surface and extended durability, the freestanding YJ-450 Plus (19x19x19 cube) offers four shootable sides for added value in a similar footprint.
