Do All OutdoorsShooting Target

I have used a heavier duty model for high caliber ammunition and was initially concerned that this might reveal some of the same shortcomings, but it worked flawlessly and does not incur the kind of damage to the dowel pins on misses that the heavier model does with .38, .357, .44, and 9mm rounds. Whether you are using a pistol or rifle, the convenience of the resetting paddle is worth the entire purchase price. The frame and anchor rods are robust enough and sufficient to keep it in place even on relatively soft ground during our trials. In areas such as an old quarry that are too rocky to drive in the stakes, you might want to mount it on a plywood base. if you aren't fond of replacing the target decals, you can do a quick touch-up on the paddles with a can of spray paint after each use in preparation for the next outing. Make your practice session more interesting by making a friendly game of mixing it up with the sequence in which to hit and reset the targets for both markmanship & memory. 1-2-3-4-reset;1-4-reset;2-3-reset;1-3-2-4-reset;individual reset one-by-one -- use your imagination. Fun for the whole family.

This target is extremely fun, however, it's not to the quality I expected. The flip up targets do flip up when you hit them, however, they usually don't stay up and if one does stay up, as soon as you hit the next target it knocks the other one down. I never once had to hit the reset target because the most targets I ever had up were 2 of the 4. This is why only 4 of 5 stars. It's also less durable than expected. After about 75 hits I noticed the metal starting to bend or dent in some places. I attribute this to shooting a swinger as it was swinging back toward us which would increase the impact energy. Not a big deal because it's so cheap to replace and I don't see it getting to the point that I will have to replace it. Not bad enough to deduct another star but worth noting. Stickers are gone after first hit but that was expected. Take a can of spray paint with you and give it a fresh coat every once in a while if you care that much. I just care that I hit it and the swinging motion and noise let you know when you hit it so I don't really care that much. All in all I would definitely buy this again and I love it. P.S. I was using regular Federal bulk 22LR. Nothing fancy. And the target was leveled every time. Update 4/29/2013: Took it out a few days ago and shot it about another 50 times. I have roughly about 40-50 hits on each swinger and about 15 on the reset. Everything is still holding together, however, like I said, I haven't been able to get any of them to stay up, hence only a few shots to the reset. The metal has deformed a good amount, but still holding up. Still highly recommended.

we set this at 30 yards as specified and fired our .22 pistols at it... a full box... 375 rounds.... it is small and not trivial to hit consistently... we did dent is some HOORAH! it works as designed. Ours had all the pieces and took less than 10 minutes to assemble.... I'll be frank, I"m gonna take this and use it as a model to make my own... I think I can weld up a big one and we can have a blast... we have a great place to shoot and I think everybody will enjoy and get a lot of use out of it... all in all.. a really really good deal..

It's a cool little target, I enjoy it, and other people at the range enjoy it too. However, it is cheaply made. I shot out one of the pins/rivets that holds one of the targets in place, I had to replace it with a bent nail. Secondly, you may hit a target, but sometimes (20% or so) it will go all the way up and come back down. Also, I don't like the color of the target, I wish it was more of a blaze orange because I'm colorblind and having a red target on a green background is tough for me. Nothing some spray paint can't fix though. I would consider buying another one considering they're cheap. But you get what you pay for.

I love my 3/4 cock clay pigeon throw from these guys, however, this .22 target is not so good. Not worth it. The paper target we have commonly used are far better. This unit kinda stinks. Directions were extremely poor, as are all these guys directions, and the product simply, is NO FUN! The target never swung into the "up" position...well, maybe once, but then fell back down. It just isn't much fun at all.

My son got this target as a Christmas present this year. We went out on a day my husband had off from work, set it up quickly (taking note from some former reviewers - we tried to get it as level as possible) While it was slightly off level and the last target didn't always stay up, the target did it's job. It was obvious when you had hit it, even if it didn't stay up, that just meant an extra shot for the boys. It has heightened both of my sons' interest in something their father enjoys. Which makes it a win in my book. The target seems extremely sturdy to me... I don't understand how it could have fallen apart after one shot. I suppose it could be torn up if you shot the thinner pieces around the pivot points, but if you're hitting there, you should really work on your shooting. The decals did get destroyed and the paint comes off when hit by a bullet, but I don't understand what the other reviewer expected. For me, the target works exactly as it's supposed to, and we love it. We may even buy some of the other targets offered by this company so we can line them up and all shoot together.

product not made very well the targets at the bottom do not stay up when hit sometimes they will stay up but when you shoot another target it falls back down therefore not being able to get the other targets to stay up i am not sure how well the reset works ... have only shot with .22 led rounds and already seeing a lot of wear

Fun times to be had! Just dont use bigger then a 22 or youll just break it. Was awesome the first time you hit all 4 targets up, then reset it in 5 shots.

When I shoot the little spoons with my ruger 10/22 rifle, they don't always go up. And when they go up, they'll come down when I shot at the next one

Nice to shoot at. Target stays up on the first shot at it when you shoot second target first target at time first target fells back down. Enjoy to shoot at it better than cans lol.

I love shooting with this target at the range; the painted targets are much more durable than stickers on some other targets, keeping the visibility up over more range sessions (it will need a little refresh of paint after a thousand rounds or so). I also like the fact that the reset target is angled downward, so your ricochets are directed toward the ground. If you take a little time to level it before you start, all of the targets flip up and reset dependably with each shot. Be warned: assembly instructions are not included (although you should be able to do it from the photo), and the roll pins that control the target arms have a tendency to fall out during use at the range (meaning the target spins a full circle instead of staying upright). I've since solved the pin issue by giving the ends of the roll pins a bit of a flare with a hammer and punch so they remain seated and don't fall out Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a .22 resetting target.

Yea, after you spend 25 minutes trying to figure out what moves; then figure out nothing! Exactly what you see is what you get. If the target is hit perfectly it may bounce up and back down, or it may stay up, but when you take your next shot the first one will come down with the second shot it is impossible to get all four "UP" without that which makes the useless "reset" on top even more redundant. Again, the surface was not perfectly level but nowhere does it say it has to be on a perfect surface - THUMBS down - boo!
