The Northeast Indoor 3-D Championship
will be using McKENZIE XTREME SERIES Targets at the 3-D Shoot.
The XTreme Series features E-Z Flex. E-Z Flex is a foam material for replaceable cores.
It's designed for shooters who prefer the quickest and easiest arrow removal available. The soft foam cores release arrows
so easily, you'll quickly appreciate why these targets are called XTreme. The replaceable E-Z Flex cores make these
high-quality targets economical to use, since the cores can be replaced as often as necessary, without replacing the entire
target. The XTreme series offers the best of both worlds - E-Z Flex foam, for quick and easy arrow removal, and replaceable
cores, to make your high-quality XTreme Series targets last a long time.
