At a recent meeting for the Southern Triple Crown there was a discussion on targets. The guys from Heart of Dixie in Valley, AL (host of the 1st leg of the STC)that met with Ken Watkins said that McKenzie was going to a softer foam this season (more like the Rineharts). I have also heard rumor on other boards that McKenzie bought out the taxidermy portion of Rinehart. All of this combined could be the start of these rumors. I wasn't in on any of these conversations first hand so hopefully I am not just adding to the rumor mill.
IBO is under contract with McKenzie for 2002 and 2003, as bid in 2000.
Concerning material and density changes, rumors,rumors, rumors.
But ya never know.
