BIRCHWOOD CASEY World Of Targets Gallery Portable Easy-to-Use Durable Steel Resetting Targets with High Visibility Target Spots for Maintenance-Free Aigun/Rifle/Handgun Shooting

After trying, and returning, a competing brand that has a problem with roll pins falling out, I purchased this unit. I have now taken it to the range twice, and am completely satisfied with it. It's durable. The method of construction (essentially using areas of welding filler material as stops rather than roll pins) makes this thing virtually indestructible under normal usage.And, I like the overall configuation a lot better. It folds flat for transportation. The targets have very little tenancy to spontaneously reset until you hit the reset target. About the only improvement that I can think of, would be some kind of clamping screw to position the two legs which extend forward. The front legs swivel and slide up and down on the two rear legs. So their position/orientation is somewhat variable and adjustable. The correct position is when they are slid all the way up the rear legs until they contact the cross bar (on which the targets swivel) as shown in the picture. But they can be splayed sideways, and that gives you a little bit of adjustment on how the unit sits if the ground is slightly sloping or uneven. But it would be nice to be able to turn a thumb set screw on the back side to lock them into the desired position. It's possible to deflect one of the front legs sideways if you hit it (and you will occasionally). I have succeeded in knocking one of the legs sufficiently that the assembly fell over. The ground it was on was hard. If it was a little softer, just pushing the ends of the four legs slightly into the ground would solve most of that problem.yes, the orange target papers are going to come off, bit by bit. I'm actually surprised how hard a little .22LR slug is smaking these things. The paper will come off, in pieces, with repeated hits. And so does paint, on both sides. Nothing you paint on the targets, or stick on them, is going to stay on. The stick-on orange targets are just fine, and you can buy packages of replacements. It's quick and easy to replace them.

Solid can handle a 9mm

This is a fun little interactive target for .22 rimfire pinking. It was actually built much "beefier" then I expected, having purchased and used other .22 targets in the past. The spinners seem to be of good quality and fairly thick steel. That said, I would not, and have not shot this with anything but a .22 as it is definitely not made to hold up to center fire rounds.I had some problems with the first spinner not "setting" because it was spinning around fast enough to "bump" the retaining bar out of the way. Once one spinner had "set" it would hold the bar by friction so the others rarely gave me any problem. However, the friend I was shooting with that day (who shot the target more then I did) did not have any of these problems. I suspect that prior targets of this type have taught me to "aim low" on the paddles to get enough power to spin the target completely, and this target may work better with a center shot.Resets worked flawlessly and I never had a problem with it not resetting.I wasn't using any really high velocity rounds, but I was shooting this from MUCH closer then the recommended distance (I'm aware of the dangers of shooting steel and how to minimize them) and with "copper washed" (.22 doesn't really have jacketed) rounds (Remington Bulk Golden Bullets, if I recall correctly), and I had no problem with pitting of the plates (other then the normal lead splatter).The stupid stickers blew off about the second shot, but that's to be expected (I'm not even sure why they bother putting them on). A little spray paint in your favorite color generally makes the target plenty visible, so the stickers aren't even close to necessary.Overall, a good little target and lots of fun to take to the range. I've ordered the center fire version for use with my bigger guns.

There is a time and place for paper targets. Sighting in, and fine tuning the accuracy of guns or loads demand the use of paper. But routine practice isn't always best served by punching holes in paper. And after a while it can get just plain boring. That's where targets like this one from Birchwood-Casey come into play. Reactive targets are fun! Steel targets are especially rewarding as both the sound and movement announce each hit.But such target systems can be either too expensive to be practical or too 'cheap' to work properly. That's not true here. This target is affordable and through the first 250 rounds or so at the time this review is written, has worked perfectly. And it really is fun! That encourages me to shoot more and makes me want to improve my skills.So let's review; the product works and is durable, is affordable, and is fun to use. That works for me and earns five stars!

I used it for the first time tonight. Works exactly as described and I am very happy with it. As others state the stickers come off pretty quick but should be expected. I probably will paint the targets like someone else said once the finally are all off. I guess if I had to complain about something it would be that the target circles are pretty small and at distance a little difficult to hit with a pistol....but thats why I bought it to practice. I think with a rifle at distance it would be much easier.I keep wondering what would happen if I shot it with my AR....hmmm, maybe I will find out someday!Don't even think about mine is all about going to the store when you have to lick under side of the bottle and when the deer runs over my car and hits my chicken in the mouth. Have a night day good dude.

The targets are very heavy and well made. They are small though. Don't expect a large target. Look at the dimensions in the description. Ideal for 22 cal. and up. A challenge to hit. Perfect.

handles lots of plinking even with jacketed projectiles. Heavy and well built

good product

Loads of fun. Takes a beating and just needs some spray paint to look new again.

This target is addicting!I used it with a Benjamin Trail .22 pellet (495 fps) with scope and once I had the positioning right, it worked every time. At first I had the target tilted too much and the power of the shots flipped the paddles so hard it just moved the reset bar out of the way (it was set up on a slight slope) - once it was level it was fine. The target spots are about 1.5" so it was perfect for precision shooting with the scope on the Trail. Very satisfying to hit the reset paddle! Nice plinking sound.I also used it with my older (apprx. 14 years old) Crosman .177 break barrel with peep sights and was still super fun - I was able to flip the paddles a few times but only when I hit the black dot in the centre - the shots just didn't have the same power as the .22 pellet. Wadcutters and Hollowpoints seemed to be better for power on impact. Using the peep sights was a little more difficult with such a small target, but that much more rewarding when you hit it!Seems to be holding up very well to the abuse (dented up a bit but nothing serious).Highly recommend for backyard plinking or if you want to tune your skills.Not sure how it would hold up with a rim-fire .22 or a >500fps .22 air rifle, but seeing as how it wasn't made for that it's not a problem.
