    I was told the Silver dollar has worded 6 million Eurotargets, with a saving of $2.50/per box.

    If u think they will lower their prices, think again

    They may not lower their prices, but it may extend the time before they have to raise the price.

    What they save in targets might cost them in customers. Our club bought a semi load of them and at least here in the colder temps seem a little harder to break then White Flyers. Noticed also a few targets where the rim thickness was thinner on one side of the target and thicker on the other. Never seen this in all of the zillion's of White Flyer targets I have thrown.
     
  4. I don’t believe they will switch to Euro Targets, the programs for the Open and the Sunshine shoots say White Flyer in them.

    635 G you might want to get your facts straight. They did not order 6 million targets. I was told 2 pallets a huge difference.

    Can't believe the $ would waste their time on just two pallets

    Several clubs over here have went to white flyer black out. Which is there bio target.
    I shot them and thought they were fine. Yes they smoke also. They are similar priced to
    The euro target.

    Silver Dollar was shipped two pallets of EuroTargets on a trial basis. We put them in our Pat Trap on a dedicated field and let members shoot them at no charge.
    The targets flew well and the color was very vibrant. Next step we took a whole case and weighed them. No target varied in weight by more than four ounces at the most. In conclusion I feel the target would be a good buy for a smaller club reason being is that I don't feel that Euro Target be be able to satisfy my needs at this time.
    For the future Silver Dollar will stay with White Flyer.

    4 ounces seems to be quite a bit, a quarter of a pound on a target.

    Moe, Please excuse my BAD. The weight was grams not ounces.

    Think about 29 grams to a ounce.

    Was the guy that told you about the targets the same guy that told the Dollar wasn’t going to be open for the entire month of DEC?
