There is a reinforced target available, but if yours is bent back, there is a good chance the welds on the scoop are broken also. You can replace the scoop assembly with a replacement one that has a built in reinforcement for the target, or if your welds and scoop are still ok, just replace the target with the reinforced one. The stock setup always fails. The origional target bends back, exposing the side of the scoop, and the ball hitting the side of the scoop breaks the welds.
