Question 1

Why can’t it be shot with rim fire ammo? it says (no rimfires)

Accepted Answer

I think it has to do with the spinning action. The rim fire doesn't have enough energy to make it spin but does give a good audible report and a bit of movement. When shot with a 9mm it will spin multiple times. My kids won't shoot at paper targets anymore because this target is way more fun. I recommend it for all small arms, .22 up to .45. Hope this helps.

Question 2

so "no rimfire" due to ricochet or  'lack of spin" ??

Accepted Answer

I would say lack of spin. It's like hitting a solid piece of steel with a small rimfire, but it does move. I play a game of timing to get it spinning with a .22. And keeping it spinning. Larger caliber handguns make it spin quite quickly. Never tried fill size rifle as I'm afraid to blow a hole through it.

Question 3

Will this target, that says it will take pistol rounds up to .44 magnum, still spin if at 250 yards when accurately shot at with my Howitzer?? !!!

Accepted Answer

I doubt this guy owns a Howitzer. Even if he did, there wouldn't be much of the target left. He was just being sarcastic.

Question 4

Will this work with a 700fps air rifle?  Or is that not enough to turn the targets?

Accepted Answer

I don't want to start a fight over the other answers, but its not so much about caliber as it is about energy when the projectile hits the spinner. A 100ish,(NOT a 10, a 100ish) grain pellet, so like a 45 or bigger caliber, traveling at 700fps should give you the energy of a light 38 special shell, and that should spin it. If you are using something  like a 22 cal pellet, it just won't have the energy to move this heavy spinner. IF your gun uses 22cal pellets, your MUZZLE  energy at 700fps , firing what, a 10gr pellet,  AT THE MUZZLE,  is probably producing about  1/3 what a 22 short produces at muzzle. Sorry, I guess that got kinda long. Short answer no, your gun has little chance of working with this spinner, and may not work well with a spinner meant for a 22 rim fire. Get one meant for a pellet gun.  Hope that helps!
