Does the ATA approve champion targets? Just shot at some last weekend and they seem real hard or my STS lead was soft. 😜

The ATA " approves" targets of a certain dimension shape and weight. They do not ENDORSE any brands. That being said, no club I know likes them. They are very hard to break. I think there are cement companies who could copy their recipe !! If I happen to go to a club where they are being used I pull out HARD number 7-1/2s .

It has been a few years ago, but our club threw Champions for several years. Our distributor told us Champion makes different targets for different applications. Our trap target boxes were always marked "Tournament" targets. We never had issues and when several long-time trap shooters learned we threw Champions they were surprised because they did break well. We were told that targets produced for the retail/big box store market were a different animal. I don't know what the current production is like.
