We finally had a chance to get a good day of testing in on these shoot-to-reset targets. The squirrel and green target have 3/16" paddles and arms while the rooster and grey target have 10ga paddles and arms. They seem to work well with guns ranging from 12fpe to 20 fpe. We were able to consistently reset all the targets with a 12fpe gun at 55 yards.

We hit them with 30 and 40+ fpe guns as well. This seemed to be a bit much for the squirrel and rooster. The reset paddle would flip the top paddle up so hard that often enough it would bounce back down. The heavier guns might also be a bit much for the paddles as they showed a bit of denting and possible bending.

There are a few changes we are looking at to improve the function of the targets but we have all winter to play.

I have 3 knockdown animal targets in my attic bolted down to milk crates. They work good. Have two on spikes that I have never shot in four years as my pellet guns never leave inside of my house. Maybe someday as I have a couple high power airguns that hardly ever get shot because of power level.

Mine in the house all have 3 different size holes. I have never shot at them other than the smallest size holes. Bought all my Remington knockdowns from PA when they were on sale for around $10. Great fun.

CHEERS!
