Bet Ashby would say you need a single bevel to solve that problem.

I know lots of people who bought one Delta deer target.

I don't know anyone who bought another one.

I used to have that problem before I switched over to Jack Howard bows.  Now I don't miss like that anymore!  If you don't want to switch to a Jack Howard bow, here is a pretty quick and long lasting fix for your target.  

Remove the plastic leg.  On the foam body, up in the socket that the leg fits into, there is a plastic cup that matches the shape of the plastic cup on the leg.  Pull that out with pliers or cut it out if you have to.  

On the plastic leg, cut off ALL BUT about 1" of the plastic cup that extends up into the socket of the body.  

Get a drill and drywall screws. Put the leg back on the body in the proper orientation and temporarily run a couple of drywall screws through the foam and into the 1" flange that you left on the leg cup.

Get a can of Great Stuff expanding foam from your local home center.  Turn the target upside down and spray the Great Stuff down into the leg though the hole where the ground rod goes.  Take a clothes hanger or other similar wire and keep knocking down the foam inside the deer leg as it expands so you can get more in.  Otherwise you can drill a hole in the plastic leg close to the socket and insert the filler tube from the Great Stuff there.  Shoot it until it is full and let it set up overnight. Remove the drywall screws and you are ready to shoot.  This has worked great for me.
