Most people hate spending money, and I’m one of them! Well, I guess it depends on what I’m buying. You know how we are; we can really afford what we want. I saw you at Cabela’s last week buying another t-shirt, but man, really, you could use a new pair of shoes. That’s when you say, “I can’t afford them!” My reply would be “Yeah! Sure! I know what you mean.”
Let’s move on from the subject of shoes and talk about those archery bags in your backyard range. That Morrell Yellow Jacket YJ-450 is looking a little rough. Do you think it’s time to afford a new target?
Indoor Range & Storage
Do you have the luxury of shooting indoors and storing all your equipment indoors? If you answered yes, you may not be interested at all in this blog. You can still read it or share it with a friend who you won’t let shoot at your indoor range.
When you shoot outdoors and your archery targets live there, the environment, (some worse than others), can take a toll on them. Heat, humidity, freezing temps, all affect things greatly!
The first pointer to keeping your archery bags beautiful is to store them indoors. It can even be used for a dual purpose, while it’s inside, it can be a chair for the kids. Get creative, save your bags, archers!
Returning to the original thought, what you can afford is not the same as what I can afford! So what can you afford for your archery lifestyle? If money isn’t an object, I’d like you to throw some objects my way!
What Are You Shooting?
How much you need to spend on a target bag really depends on what you’re shooting, recurve, compound or crossbow, and how often you shoot. If you’re shooting the PSE Pro Max Take Down Recurve Bow, most archery bags will do the job even the most inexpensive ones like the Morrell Yellow Jacket Stinger.
If appearances don’t mean a thing to you and you haven’t gotten to the point that you need to join the wrestling team to ensure you win the wrestling match against your arrows, keep shooting, man! If you would like your bag to smile a little more, there’s always the surgical method. It’s kind of like a facelift but a lot more affordable. I would describe it as an affordable paper bag look, but better. The Morrell Yellow Jacket MOD Pro Series Tuning Target Face covers up the “ugly” and gives you fresh, new targets.
Long Term Fix
Another option is the Morrell Targets Single Spot Paper Target Faces you’ll get 100 targets when you order those! You could give your archery bag a facelift every day for a little over three months! They do sell paper bags in that quantity as well, just a thought!
For those of you that can afford to toss your old bag and buy a few new ones, it was my pleasure to point out your need for a replacement! Feel free to tune in for advice any time and don’t forget whatever you can or can’t afford, appreciate it and it will go a long way!
