    I am hopeful to have Eurotarget and the Champion Logos on the site.

    This will be a boon to the sport as long as they don't produce Champion crap, the Euro Targets are great, superior color and cheaper too !!!

    The targets are better than the old champions.
    They had them at Indiana state shoot today on practice trap for free.
    You could shoot as many as you wanted

    The Euro Champions are better than White Flyer. Better color better material. Jmho.

    Like Indyfireman said above that had their premium pitch targets
    at the Indiana State Shoot to try. I didn’t shoot any but they gave
    us several cases to try out at Kingen’s. I spoke to several top shooters
    that shot them and they said they were good. I know a couple clubs
    are gonna start throwing them in Indiana. The gentleman that was
    representing Eurotargets was pleasant to all.

    I like multiple target companies. Competition is a Good thing in all industries. Most of the time companies buy out their competition and then raise the prices and their profits. This might keep White Flyer from raising prices again. It will help the workers in Richmond IN. to make some paychecks.
    I shoot 71/2 ounce and a eight and the targets break when I do my part..I am not interested in 3/4 once loads like some shooters try to save money. Never had a problem with Remington Blue Rock targets with this load. They were yellow dome black rim targets.
