Morrell Yellow Jacket YJ-425
Good
Ranked #5 of 8 archery targets
$64.99
The YJ-425 is the default answer to 'which bag target should I buy,' and it earned that. Two shooting sides, ten bullseyes, a printed 425 fps rating that covers any vertical compound made and most crossbows, and Morrell's two-finger arrow-removal pitch that bag construction genuinely delivers on. At 32 pounds it plants solidly and still moves when you do. Field points only — the maker says so in print.
Standout feature: A printed 425 fps stopping rating at a $65 price — the best rating-per-dollar in the category.
The verdict
The Morrell Yellow Jacket YJ-425 earns a CareScore of 57.5/100 (good), ranking #5 of 8 archery targets we’ve scored at $64.99. A printed 425 fps stopping rating at a $65 price — the best rating-per-dollar in the category.
Scored by the published CareScore v1.1.0 methodology from manufacturer specs, June 2026.
Pros
- Printed 425 fps rating handles any compound and most crossbows
- Two sides and ten bullseyes spread the wear
- Replacement covers sold separately — renew it for roughly half price
- Easy arrow removal is the whole point of bag construction
Cons
- Field points only, per Morrell's own print — broadheads shred bags
- 32 lb is planted, not featherweight
- Dimensions differ between Morrell (21x15x21) and Lancaster (20x20x15) listings
CareScore breakdown
How the 57.5/100 was built. Each spec is normalised to a 0–100 quality score, then weighted.
Data note: Price $64.99 (Lancaster). Rating, sides, bullseye count and field-points-only restriction verified on morrelltargets.com + Lancaster. Weight 32 lb per Lancaster. Manufacturer dimensions 21x15x21 vs Lancaster 20x20x15 — face size recorded from the manufacturer figure. Verifier corrected two first-pass fabrications (a review claim about the weight that said the opposite, and a misattributed arrow-removal endorsement) — the published data here survived verification.
