Caldwell Resetting Targets with Portable Design and Shooting Spots for Outdoor, Range, Shooting and Hunting

This is a great little target for the .22lr gun or an air pistol. The air rife (CO2 in my case does not move the top target but the plink is obvious). Its perfect for the .22lr rifle and so much easier than cans that have to be set back up. Its small, but this is a great advantage if you can shoot in your back yard as long as you control where your bullets are going. By aiming down at it, your bullets go into the ground beyond it. This makes it better than sticking a target on a tree where a miss will go into who knows where. The plink and movement is satisfying too. I did not bother with the stickers. This means it is harder to see (particularly in aligning with the front sight on my Crossman, much easier on the iron site on the 22 rifle). I did not care if the stickers were on there but this does make the targets a bit harder to see is all. The shots do remove the black paint (rust would be something to watch for) , but who cares if the target is marred - its a target and I'm shooting at it. Lead projectiles tend to damage what they hit so the fact it simply makes a ding in the target is not really that big of a deal (clearly it would affect the stickers put on there so there should be no surprise or even reason to mention that the bullet or pellet is going to affect the target). It definitely stands up to .22lr and works just as it should. In fact, I had a bigger "dent" from the CO2 fired pellet than the .22lr (40gr). More than worth the money. It works well with air rifles but will ricochet more (cannot cause the top target to spin) so common sense is necessary.Its very steady for me. Do not see it being flimsy at all. Mine looked and worked exactly as pictured (sans the stickers I saw no point in putting on there).

Just got this target setup today, and so far I have shot about 50 .177 pellets at it. The directions indicate that you be a minimum of 75ft away from this target for safety reasons.Well, if I put this 75 feet away, I won't even be able to see it! These are small metal targets. Maybe the size of a fifty cent piece. I'm using iron sights for target practice and it would be pretty funny to even try it at that distance. I'm sitting around 45 ft and I'm able to hit them, but not with enough force to spin them. I have an old Crosman 2100 pump that I only pump up 3-4 times, so I'm not trying to put out a lot of force.I think this would work very well with a scoped .22 at the 25 yard recommended distance. If you are hitting them at that distance with those size targets, you are a very skilled marksman!Good product.### Update ###Okay, evidently I am an idiot. I had the target set up facing the wrong way. Yup, not going to flip the targets that way! So, once I turned it around it works very well. At 45 feet you still need to hit them dead on to make them flip, but that is more of a marksmen issue than a product one. These are still very small targets to hit, and I don't know if I will even get to the 75ft recommended range, but I will be happy with the closer range as well. Very nice product.

I'm a long-time shooter, and my girlfriend wanted to get into shooting now that we're out in the country. So, out comes the Marlin Model 60 and we had a great time plinking cans -- she was hooked!... and "hooked" means running to the targets every few mags and re-positioning whatever we were shooting at. Not a huge deal, but it's much nicer when you don't have to trek to the target much. I grabbed the Caldwell rimfire target and it's been the perfect solution.There's ONE negative -- the bottom targets don't cleanly stick in the 'up' position and wait for you to hit the top bull. We found that one or two swing up and then fall back down on the third or fourth hit. Does it really matter that we aren't going 1-2-3-4 right to left and then re-setting it with the top bull? Nope.What matters to us is that we know we hit a target and that we don't have to walk up all the time and reset it. It's very nice to focus on the shooting and enjoyment and not make runs down the range.I picked up a can of bright orange spray paint for $3 at Home Depot to use on this because as other reviewers have said, the stickers do wear off (they *are* being hit with bullets). A quick blast with the paint and it's highly visible.We're pretty happy with this target for under $20.

The media could not be loaded. Good product. Does what it's supposed to. I was using 22lr at 50 yards, put about 150 into it, and it held up great. Fun, and challenging.
