Looking for 10m target changers for a new range
Is there a cheap option? Perhaps an Eastern European or Asian manufactuer.
I am in New Zealand so I'm not fussed which country they come from as they aren't made here so will have to be imported regardless. Just working to a tight budget so the lowest price is the goal. Must be electric, don't want manual ones.

The cheapest ones I could find (in the UK) turned out to be the Haring ones. These cost my club 200 pounds each, which is not a lot more than the hand crank ones I've seen advertised elsewhere. I picked them up from Edinkillie Sport Services.

thanks Rob
I've already emailed them directly and await a reply. Still expensive for what they are. I've got someone checking in China and Korea for me too.

That's debateable, but you want something reliable and with a proven track record. It's pointless spending half the price on something that breaks or doesn't work properly. At least with these you can get them serviced etc should a problem arise. Plus they come with backstops, carrriers and all the required 'bits of string'.

RIKA or Haring, both makes are reliable and should give you many years of trouble free service. I can think of a number of RIKA changers that have been in use for over 15 years with any problems.
