To make a more realistic target using Slingshots so side & back hits will not drop it: Advanced User

Note:Slingshots are more sensitive near the center than the edge. So you need to divide the surface of the drop target into about ten sections or so, and make all of them slingshots. Now any ball that hits the front side will trigger the slingshot event, which will have code to drop the wall. Balls striking the side will not cause it to drop.
Another more reliable method. Simply place TWO drop targets lined up one behind the other, and only have the one in front has the hit event. Have them both dropped when the front is hit.
