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

My grandson made the team so this is perfect for him to practice at home. It is good quality

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).

Target stand is heavy weight that it should be able to take a few hits and keep on going. It's not going to catch the target's 100% of the time as described. You just have to play with the forward angle a bit to get it to work right. The bottom targets are only about 3-4" and they are right next to each other. That's some pretty precise shooting at the recommended distance of 10 yards and the likelihood that you will hit one of the support bars is pretty high. We put this out at 50 yards for the boys to shoot at with the 22's. Worked good but 22's are not powerful enough to get the bottom targets to flip all the way over but they did swing pretty good. The top target will spin with the 22. They make a 22 target as well that works better but of course the stand is lighter weight. Giving this 4 out of 5 because it does work as described and the system is pretty heavy duty (especially for the price you pay and free shipping from Amazon) but I am taking 1 off because I think a hand gun target at 10 yards should be 5-6 inches and the bottom targets should be a little further apart. Like others have mentioned the stickers are a waste of time. They will fly off after the first hit. Bright spray paint works best.

I took this out to my girlfriend's dad's farm this weekend and we shot about 75 rounds at it of FMJ (even though it recommends hollow tip for ricochet reasons) .45ACP and 9mm from about 15-20 yards. Her father has his FFL and is a gunsmith for a living. He looked at the target and was impressed with the quality of the steel. When I told him what I paid for it he said that he's seen lower quality for double the price. He was impressed and I got some good brownie points.Pros:*Quality steel that can really take a beating.*Even the frame stood up to a few stray shots with the only sign that it had been struck being a few marks on the paint.*The two stakes sunk into wet ground like butterCons (minor ones):* The first shot blasted off half of the orange target stickers. (It looked awesome, but really the stickers are pretty worthless. I had some neon orange spray paint that I would just dust on during reloading)* The stakes have flat ends - in dry ground it might be hard to get them into the dirt.*If you are aiming between targets and firing rather quickly you run into issues going from the two lower targets to the top one because the bottom ones spin and hit the counter weight for the top target, causing it to spin as well. You need to wait a few seconds for it to settle down before firing.Overall I'm rather happy with the purchase.

I did read the other reviewers' opinions before buying this, and yep...they're right again. It arrives in reasonable packaging, fully assembled except for the target stickers. Since others said to clean with alcohol before putting on the stickers I did that, let the residual alcohol dry completely, then put the stickers on and pressed firmly. Took the unit outside and started pinging at it with my Ruger 10/22 rifle from about 25 yards, mainly because I have a convenient tree stump there to set it on.Results:STICKERS: One fell off after three or four hits on that target; the other four stayed put just fineACTION: The assembly leans forward quite a lot, which means a .22 often doesn't have the punch to flip the targets all the way up. Even so, they do swing nicely when hit and you can tell easily. When one occasionally does flip up, the reset target doesn't pack enough leverage to knock them back down. I put blocks under the front of the legs so it wouldn't lean as much and then did manage to flip the targets up consistently. However, now when they flip up you get them falling down again when you hit the next one.DURABILITY: Using lead-tipped standard cheapo .22 LR ammunition, each hit put a very shallow dimple in the target at approximately 25 yards. Closer than you'd normally shoot, yes. Several targets were slightly bent when hit near an edge. Definitely do not try a .223 on this thing or it'll be full of holes.OPINION: I wouldn't buy it again. For 25 bucks it's not expensive but it doesn't work as advertised, and empty Coke cans are both free and recyclable. Plus they dance and jump and are more entertaining to plink away at.
