how much did you pay for them?  They were 30 pounds at the Worlds Competition in England a few months back.  Do they give us a deal on them, and whats the total cost landed here per target.  They work well for us WFTF guys.  Don't think they'll hold up to 20 fpe tho.  I could be wrong.  Let me know.....thanks   BC

@wcc

They were £15 each. The Nockover and Techno targets are £30 each. With the exchange rate, bank transfer fee and shipping, they ended up here at $26.56 per target.

As for the 20 ft-lbs, it appears they will be fine....................time will tell.

Is it buggered?

wow, they all look eerily similar.  (except for the cheap Gamo)  The technos are made out of stainless, at least the one I bought at Worlds.  Great price on the flopovers, that makes it all worth while.  what is the face plate made of?  what thickness?  They look nice.  BC

Bill, yes, I too have a couple of the Techno's from the Worlds. I had a good friend bring me back 2.

The Flopover thickness is 3mm and they are plain steel (not sure of the grade)............not stainless.

I dunno, the GAMO target looks a lot more humane to me...

hey weller, wow 3mm equals .118 inches, which is less than 1/8.  if that's regular mild steel, I use that on my 12 fpe targets.  I use 3/16 for my face plates for 20 fpe.  keep me informed how they hold up for ya.  If they work well, they will sell well here in the USA.
