Elite Athletics or Buck Terrel Athletics

Unread postby stormvault » Sun Oct 01, 2006 1:12 am

Does anyone know if Marc Hinz at Elite Athletics is still making pits and more importantly how to get a hold of him? We purchased a pv pit from him about 6 years ago and it is about the best investment we ever made. Or if anyone knows how Buck Terrel pits are I would like to know.

Yes, Marc is still in business. 1-800-343-8460

He makes a great pit. I'm still selling pits for him, but it's been a really slow year. If you can't get ahold of him, PM me and I try to find what you need.

Buck Terrell pits are really well made and priced right. I'm a big fan of the BTA's.

the price of foam has dropped

Unread postby Bruce Caldwell » Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:12 am

With the most recent drop in price of foam PORTapIT/ Gill. UCS, and others are now closer in pricing.
I think the price dropped about 5% this month due to oil and gas prices association.
Availablity and cost caused many to have problem selling this last year. Both Buck Terrel and Elite also had some problems on price and availabilty but all are back on track now.
