crossbow target question

I have a Yellowjacket square target and have destroyed the fletching on three bolts because of the speed and power from the crossbow.  The target is great for a compound bow, but not great at all for a crossbow.  I am looking to change out targets because of that.  Crossbow bolts aren't cheap.

So make sure you are getting a target rated for your crossbow's FPS or you'll be pushing/pulling arrows through the target and potentially damaging fletching.

Your could buy the broadhead target and buy a Yellowjacket discharge target? That's like $20 and is good for field points.

I use the yellowjacket for field points.

Yep.  I have one.  Best target I've ever owned but it is heavy.
