i definitely learned my lesson this time. i guess i was just getting lucky for all of those shots or maybe this bag just isn't as shredded apart as i thought it was internally.

Yeah ya never know what's in them till ya have to cut them apart.
I quit buying bag targets after cutting apart a yellow jacket target. It was just shredded clothing  a cardboard frame and I tightly wound ball of material(core) .  I make my own bag targets out of burlap sacks or I will use a target bag from bagcorpstore.com./archery targets. And stuff them with old clothes.I don't like to spend a lot on a BH target because no mater how good the claim. They get destroyed pretty fast.
Good luck

If you have any large marinas around with floating docks, start inquiring about used foam from the docks. It may not help you this year, but if you can find it, it's usually cheap (if not free to haul off). It's lightweight, weatherproof, and will take quite a few shots before it starts breaking down too badly. After that it makes a great backup for smaller or 3D targets.

now that is a good idea....i live right on the ohio river and minutes away from 3 others. i will check this out immediately. never even thought of that.

I shoot wood so getting BH out has to be easy. This one has worked especially well. And for 50 bucks on Amazon with no shipping it was a no brainer!

Are those the very first broadheads you have ever owned?  The initial post has a really shocked and surprised tone to it that I don't quite understand, much as if I bend my finger sideways and was surprised to find it broken.

no...not my first broadheads. lol. been archery hunting for 18 years and have many a fine specimen to my credit.

my surprise was that after i shoot the crap out of my bag targets and the inside is completely shredded i then use it to shoot broadheads into. i first started this practice by taking two bag targets a friend was throwing away. i have shot literally thousands of broadheads into well shot bag targets  and have never had one get stuck. then again, up until this point all of my broadheads have been screwed in and on carbon shafts. i didn't want to pull too hard on the glue after one did get stuck but it ended up breaking the glue bond anyways. thus the reason for this post.
