This video from TA Targets discusses three major product development regrets. The first regret involves discontinuing the popular 20-inch round base, which was a signature product, in favor of a breakdown base that was cheaper but didn't meet all customer needs. The second regret centers on phasing out AR500 steel targets to focus on AR550, which alienated a budget-conscious customer segment, leading to the later reintroduction of the Genesis line (AR500). The third regret highlights the initial pairing of premium Exodus line targets with a more budget-friendly base, which was later rectified by offering the Genesis base with the Exodus targets to lower the entry price.
