Jim Norman Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If you are looking to purchase a 'Texas Star' I can strongly recommend the Ashton design currently produced by GT Targets. MGM Does an OUTSTANDING job on just about everything they build, but the Texas Star from Ashton/GT is much better. At the two clubs where we regularly shoot and MD matches, we have two Ashton stars at one and two MGM stars at the other. The MGMs don't always release cleanly resulting where as the Ashton model seems to be more trouble free. Granted,t eh MGM system is likely more 'bulletproof' it just doesn't perform as well. I have no idea anymore what either one cost us. I do know that we bought the first one out at PASA Park at the Nationals and carted it home, must be 8 years or more ago. We just now bought new arms and plates. More to have spares than any other reason. we were able to rebuild everything that needed it on the originals. We're just cautious and we are thinking of a couple 'interesting' uses for the extra arms and plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Yep the MGM ones are mostly broken. You can shoot the center of the star and knock over half the plates. You can shoot the arms and knock over the plates. As much as I like our other MGM steel, the GT one is the right answer. Price is not going to be cheap though. I think they are like $650 or so.

wjm1776 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Any other options for under $500? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smrkovsky Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If you're a DIY'er or know someone that can weld, this might be an option. https://www.thetargetman.com/product/diy-texas-star/ Me and a buddy are about to buy one of these and their DIY plate rack and weld them up with some left over angle iron and tubing. Not a bad price if you dont mind "some assembly required." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
