Orange targets

[A.J. Holst]

Just about every gun store / dept. has these rubber targets; critters on sticks, plates, cubes, etc.

Advertised for higher caliber firearms, and thousands of rounds. prices start at about $25 and go up the fancier you get.

anybody got one? Shot one? Worth having one or two?

i have the squrare one and it is fun to shoot. mine has taken .22 up to S&W 500 and many 30.06 still looks good.

I have the square one as well and have ran goodness knows how many .22's through it, along with .223 and on occasion some pistol (9mm and .40) and it's still rocking.

I have a couple, one is a cube, and one that is more like a soccer ball. Both have hundreds of hits of assorted .22, .223, 308, and 300 blk. and still work fine though the lighter .22 and .223 don't really move them much and the rifle calibers remove small chuinks of material occasionally. Most fun we've had yet with them was setting up some old hoops from a croquet set in a rough line about 6-10 feet from each other and slightly to the left/right of the one before. Then we would set the round "soccer ball" target out in front of the first hoop and take turns trying to get the ball to roll through the hoops to score points, or to make it harder for the other guy to get it through on their turn. The game gets progressively harder since the ball is constantly rolling a little further away with each shot. We've even played where the first few hoops must be played with pistols before switching to rifles to add variety. The cube is great for simple centerfire pistol training up close, or rifles a couple hundred yards out since it will visibly move with each solid hit.

My wife got me the one that's kinda star shaped. I'm not a fan. I've noticed some of my subsonic 22lr rounds got stuck in it. Even saw a 9mm round get stuck in it one time out. Just not my thing really. I'm more a jug and bottle shooter
