I just hope it is not a mistake and these turn out to be the .22 versions. For the 9mm - 30.06 versions its almost seems too good to be true, which is why I’m a bit skeptical. In for three however and hoping it is true!
I’ve shot many of the Do-All targets in the 9mm-30.06 versions. They hold up. I’ve put hundreds of rounds on them with only paint chips. These two models are only made in the larger caliber version, so no worry about it being the .22 model. I bought with confidence…
High velocity bullets remove paint/stickers from steel…
Bring a can of hunter orange spraypaint with you, and send one of the kids down range to refresh the target every once in a while…
Calling a cease fire depends how much you like that particular kid…
(settle down…I’m kidding…maybe)
How many people actually train with pistols for >30 yards for “rapid target acquisition”?
I assume the round can still be copper clad. If you shoot pure lead wadcutters, you will foul a barrel quick.
You could probably shoot at something else with some copper rounds every so often to try and strip the lead out of the rifling, but then you are wasting rounds.
So, if a guy were to get one of these spinny targets and shoot at it with a break-barrel .177 pellet gun, would pellets just go flying off willy-nilly in a dangerous fashion or would it work fine and just last a really long time?
I am trying to buy 2 of the body target and one spinner, but I ended up getting 3 body ones since I couldn’t figure out how to do the quantities for each. Then when I tried to send a message, it wouldn’t go through due to order number not looking like the right number…yes, it is… Please change my order to get one spinner and 2 body ones.
BB’s (steel) probably would bounce right back at you…but typically, soft lead .177 pellets will just splat flat on the steel and fall…depending also on the power of your gun/distance shot obviously…it shouldn’t come back at you.
It’s also hard to tell what angle these targets are at, at rest.
Put it back deep in a big enough cardboard box, and shoot it a few times from the same angle/distance you would normally…
Then check the box to see if anything comes/splashes off…
I’d doubt any splash/ricochet would get thru cardboard. (with a pellet gun)
Do this test in a safe place…not the living room, next to your Hummle collection/kids crib…ect
As always… wear proper (certified for impact resistance) eye protection when shooting ANY weapon.
100% UV protection is for the sun, not impact.
Seriously doubt a pellet gun will even budge one of these targets.
From reading the prior sale posts, you can’t even see the ‘body’ target ‘fall’, because it snaps immediately right back.
