I prefer tombstone targets (even if they technically they're not correct for Cheetah). Eliminating the bricking issue is more important, and finding a reproduction drop that is as close as possible to an original Stern target. So your targets might be a great solution.

My question is...

1) Since they don't have a gloss finish, will they pick up dirt a lot faster by having a matte finish?
2) Are Stern vinyl drop decals (Stars & S letter in different colors) available for games other than Meteor?
3) And most importantly, will your targets function better than the Marco hooded reproduction targets?

I'm interested to try them on my Cheetah build, but for a 14 drops + shipping, it may be too pricey for me. If they function better than the other reproduction drop options out there, then it guess might be worth it.

I love your Stern Pop rings btw Still holding up great on my QS

Nine Ball has a single target like that.
