I think glueing would be really difficult because of the pounding they get.

unfortunately its neither of those.. its the one just to the left of the kickout hole in middle playfield.
This is a good question, I'm interested to see if there is an answer. I have super glued drop targets back together--they lasted for awhile but eventually broke again.
Pic would help. I just sculpted teeth for my Elvira skull cave out of a two part Kneadatite epoxy, and along with the epoxy used some super glue. Not that relevant to you. But one other thing is did was build little braces out of paperclip wire, which i embedded in the back of the teeth and then up into the skull. So if the teeth are hit some of that impact energy will be absorbed up into the main skull cavity. You might be able to explore some methods that will help the glue take an impact.
So there are options besides just glue, depending on the situation. Post that photo!

Steve Young at Pinball Resource sells an assortment of piano wire, and I've used it to reinforce plastic when I glue it. The piano wire is much harder and springier than a paperclip. I've also used fiberglass cloth, and fiberglass drywall tape.

No matter what glue I've used the only difference is how soon it will break again. Two part epoxy seems to work the longest, that will only buy you some time to get a replacement part....which is the only permanent solution.
shoot again, that looks like the one. tmezei if its not ill send u target. thank 4 help guys. so who gonna walk me through process of gettig pic from my samsung galaxy phone into this post??

That is kinda what I was afraid of, thanks for posting your experience.
Plastex works incredibly well for fixing plastic. I used it to fix a broken ramp, and it worked really really well. They claim it's as strong as the original plastic, and I after using it, I believe them. Kinda hard to work with, but may suit your need....

Either sync phone to computer and then just upload, or e-mail direct from Galaxy to yourself and pick up e-mail on your computer and then upload. Failing that mailshot everyone reading this post with a photocopy and we'll stick it to our computer screens and pretend you've uploaded it.
