Feature Breakdown
Multi-Zone Training Surface
Front Side Training Quadrants
The front features four distinct training zones, each engineered for specific skill development:
Top Left: Tournament Preparation Zone — Three NFAA Vegas Target Faces give you the visual you need for competition practice. These targets build the mental focus required for shooting under pressure and prepare you for tournament scenarios.
Top Right: Shot Execution Zone — Nine 1¾-inch white aiming dots create the perfect environment for close-range practice. Ideal for basement or garage training, these dots help you focus on precise aim and shot execution fundamentals without distance distractions.
Bottom Left: Trust the Float Zone — This section features one 3½-inch center square surrounded by four 2-inch outer squares designed to help you build confidence in your natural pin movement. The square design makes it easier to visualize your pin float within the boundaries, reducing anxiety compared to traditional circular targets.
Bottom Right: Field Archery Simulation — NFAA Field Target Faces help you prepare for different field archery scenarios. These targets simulate the exact faces you’ll encounter in competition, building familiarity and confidence.
Center Alignment System — Horizontal and vertical center lines create the perfect reference for walk-back and bare shaft tuning. This system helps you dial in your setup, ensuring your arrows fly true when it matters most.
Back Side Long-Range System
The back side is designed for distance training with dedicated aiming points:
60+ Yard Center Dot: The large 10-inch center aiming point is the perfect target for extreme distance shooting, helping you build confidence when accuracy matters most.
50-Yard Practice System: Four 4-inch outer dots positioned at the corners create the perfect target size for consistent 50-yard practice, helping you master mid-range distances.
40-Yard Star System: Four 3½-inch stars positioned between the center and corners create perfect reference points for 40-yard practice, helping you develop confidence at this critical hunting distance.

Nock On Training Bag Target: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use broadheads with this target?
No. The Nock On Training Bag Target is specifically designed for field points only. Using broadheads will damage the target and significantly reduce its lifespan.
For broadhead practice, use a target designed explicitly for that purpose.
Will this target work with arrows that have outserts or collars?
No. This target is not recommended for arrows with outserts or field points larger than the arrow shaft diameter. These can damage the target material and make arrow removal difficult, potentially leading to premature wear.
How much does the target weigh? Is it easy to transport?
The target weighs 44 pounds and measures 27 inches tall × 25 inches wide × 15 inches deep.
While substantial, it comes equipped with a heavy-duty carrying handle specifically designed for transport. This makes it portable enough to move between indoor and outdoor practice locations, though it’s still a solid target with significant weight.
What’s the shipping cost? Where can it be shipped?
Because of the target’s size and weight, a $26.00 shipping fee applies for each bag target shipped. Shipping is only available to the lower 48 states in the USA. Targets ship directly from Morrell with approximately two days of handling and prep time prior to shipment.
How long will this target last?
The Nock On Training Bag Target is built to handle thousands of shots with field points. Its strategic design places aiming points across both sides of the target to promote full use of the target surface, extending its life significantly.
For maximum durability, only use field points and avoid leaving the target in harsh weather for extended periods.
Are replacement covers available?
Yes. Replacement covers are available for purchase separately. This allows you to refresh your target’s appearance while continuing to use the core construction, extending the life of your investment.
What training drills can I do with this target?
The target is designed for multiple training applications, including:
- Power-of-four drills using the stars or squares
- “Around the world” shooting sequences
