Immediately go to dr for serious antibiotics!!! Lyme disease is horrible!Awesome looking targets. I like that nasty tick especially since i currently have bullseye on the back of my leg from a deer tick.
MDT stands for Mikes Dandy Targets - out of the Phoenix AZ area - he is STURKIS here on AGN. And these targets are the result of his continual quest to build the "best" field target possible. 3 weeks back one of his targets (the fly in pic) got run over by my cement crews trailer. After i hammered the bottom bracket back straight it was good as new!I'm trying to find these targets to look at.
good stuff - don't let it get to your eyes or an open sore/wound...Nice reset targets. Nice choice in target shapes. Ticks suck. I hate 'em. I spray this stuff on my legs and boots. No ticks since I started using it. Looking forward to a hard freeze soon.

You would be correct. They’ve changed the name but same Mike Smith building them. The best FT targets I’ve shot. Able to adjust for 12 FP up to 125 FP. They can cover all disciplines and power levels of Field Target.I may be wrong ? But those look like the S&S targets .

S&S Targets are available on TexasFieldtarget.com’s store page.I'm trying to find these targets to look at.
Yes, our targets cost more, but with quality comes cost. Cold lines, failing targets and repairs are more expensive in the long run. Dare to compare!...and they are the most expensive field targets
S&S are both sizes now and one of the S’s has changed but the public facing name stays the same. Our large targets are for all types of FT up to 22LR and our smaller targets are designed for AAFTA style FT ( sub 20fpe) Same mechanisms and tolerances, same hand bent springs, etc, just made specifically for sub 20 fpe. And with the optional silhouette paddles they are truly the most versatile.I think the S&S (Smith and Spencer) targets are the bigger targets. The MDT are these smaller ones, sized like a typical AAFTA target. As far as I know, same mechanism and tight tolerances and actually square/non-binding welds.
X2, THE BEST. Hit the kill zone and they go down. Reliably.
Are they? I’ve never purchased one. Well, actually, I did throw in for a target with 3 or 4 different teammates that we donated to the TexTreme FT venue. I definitely know that they work well. I suppose, just like most anything else, you have your Avengers and your RAWs, your Leapers and your Nightforce options, etc, etc....and they are the most expensive field targets
buy once...cry once... or if 106 targets... 106 tears...and they are the most expensive field targets ever.
I did compare. S&S are $350 each. Targets capable of 20 ft-lbs are typically $40 to $100 each, and they are well built and don't fail often (Rhino, Yegua, Knockover, Mamba). A little care and feeding of targets goes a LONG WAY to prevent failures, and it's almost free. A lot of failures would need to happen to make a $350 target into an economical benefit. A proper FT match needs 20-30 targets, so that is $10500 for S&S or $3000 for the other ones.Yes, our targets cost more, but with quality comes cost.

If I were looking to have both Extreme FT and AAFTA FT events, the premium MDT targets make sense. If only AAFTA, the cheaper targets seem to work fine. Just my 2 cents though.
That WILL wake you up. Let's you know you are alive.good stuff - don't let it get to your eyes or an open sore/wound...
i would think that the $150 is not meant for EFT ? not sure. But they are built VERY well.I did compare. S&S are $350 each.

If ASC decides to start EFT we will purchase targets that can withstand up to 100ft-lbs, but I am not sure how many new match directors out there can lay out that much money without some kind of sponsorship or benefactor.
