i thought there was a mini skillshot, but i can't find it, and i don't really want to spend $100 on the discatcher mini.

The DGA Mini-Mach.5 really is the class of the mini-target line.
They are solid, look really professional, look really good, and will last a long long time. I'm thinking a 3-year old could destroy a mini-skillshot pretty quickly. I also think the mini-Discatcher will bend easier than the MiniMach.

A mini-chainstar would be sweet. I agree with Rhett, right now that is the best mini basket by far.

Absolutely!
I think he was trying to avoid the $100 tag though.

Thanks everybody for the responses, and I agree, the mini mach would be sweet, but....

I'd rather a $50 target get busted than a $100 one. I'm pretty sure it will last him though, He's usually pretty good with his toys, etc.

They had a sale where the MiniMachs were $85. I thought they made that the regular price.
hold on....
Yup. Just checked discgolfassoc.com and the regular price is $85. You should check one out up close and personal versus the mini-Skillshot. I think a 3 year old could easily accidently crush the pvc and cloth mini-SS.
Somtimes cheaper ends up costing more. Know what I mean?

Build your own.. Brian stableford built a bunch of mini targets that he uses for a mini tournament each spring.
It is two lids (ultimate sized discs)mounted opposing each otheron a 1/2" PVC pipe about 12"- 15" apart, from the rim of the top one he mounted the chains with "s clips down to a ring around the pipe (yes they look like mach I baskets).
Just a thought... but it doesn't come with the $85 - $100 price tag.
Feel free to PM me for better specs..but I think you get the idea.

Oops. I guess the mini-SS isn't PVC and cloth. Sorry Ching. :o
They're a lot more durable than that.

I have abused my mini SS and it is still in great condition. Don't knock them just because they look like they might not be durable.

I still think the Mini-Mach (or Mini Pole Hole as they seem to be calling it now) is by far the best looking and most durable mini basket. We have two mini-machs and three mini-DCs.
