Hiram Resetting Target with Portable Design and Shooting Spots, Rated for .22 .177 Caliber

Short Review: Simple item. They are resettable targets. You shoot the ones on the bottom, they fold up. When all the ones on the bottom fold up, you shoot the one on the top, and all the ones on the bottom drop back down. The item I received was pretty high quality. The targets are pretty thick and heavy duty. If you are hitting it with an air gun, some air guns do not have enough force to push the targets all the way up (so they will NOT place on the resetting bar). This is fine for me, as I do not have to bother with hitting the resetting target on the top. It is simple and easy to set up. Just remember to place it so the top bar is "leaning" forward of the bottom targets (the reset target on the top should be forward of the bottom targets when viewed from the side). We had a couple of instances where the target would collapse from the shot (in fact, we actually hit the frame a couple of times) - just remember to stabilize your target in the dirt or just some sort of rock to weight it down. These are fun targets to have, we spent a good part of the day shooting at them, so money well spent. The orange paper stickers wear out fast. They give you two sets - nevertheless, "pro-tip" (I'm not a pro at all - but I'm working hard for that "helpful" click) - buy a bright orange spray can, and when you lose the stickers, apply the paint! If you really need a little black dot in the middle, use a ruler and a sharpie. These targets are tiny. About the size of a silver dollar? Not the new ones. The old ones. So try to eye-ball a ratio in terms of the size of this target. Definitely look at the dimensions first before you buy so you don't think you're getting a huge wall-filling target. I buy these items with my own pennies. If my review was helpful, or if you need me to expand upon it some more, share the love and click on that helpful icon! I do this for my fellow shoppers here on Amazon and hopefully, you'll take some time out to do the same on the items you buy! Thank you for reading this far!

Its small..

Functionally, it works as advertised. A hit on a hanging paddle from a .177 pellet (fired from a Gamo Swarm Fusion pellet gun) flips it up and a hit on the top paddle flips them all back down. Works great and is way more fun than shooting paper targets. I ended up painting the paddles orange as the supplied orange stickers don't last long. As for durability, the pellets make almost no noticeable dent in the paddle. They are very solid. They leave a mark in the black paint but do not dent the metal at all. The only downside is that the device is very small...far smaller than the pics indicate it is. Each target panel is about 2" in diameter. But it's still very fun to shoot and the auto-reset function works great.

Bought this for my daughter to learn to shoot her pump action pellet gun. Product is perfect for bb/pellet guns. Product is small, portable and sturdy for the appropriate caliber. It does sit low to the ground, but that was a non issue for me. If you want something for simple plinking with your BB/Pellet gun that is practically ready to use from out of the box this is a good choice.

This target is fun to shoot and get the plates spinning, but the four lower targets don't catch on the crossbar, they just knock it aside and go past it, which makes the resetting feature a non-factor. This was when shooting it with a .22-caliber PCP air rifle from about 20 yards. The resettable thing was the main reason I bought it. I usually shoot paper targets, but I thought this would be a nice change. Would be nice if it worked correctly. The thing is smaller than you expect it to be if you don't read the dimensions, which I did, so I wasn't surprised, but some reviewers have been. Each plate is only about 1.7 inches across, so it's a good test of marksmanship and how well your sight or scope is dialed in. It's also low to the ground, so you'll be shooting downward at it, which is good for safety since your rounds will go into the ground. The plates are thick and heavy, so it should hold up well to anything up to a .22 magnum and maybe some of the smaller handgun calibers as well, as long as they don't have too much powder driving them. Just don't hit the frame rods or they may bend, depending on what you hit them with. My 18-grain .22 pellets, fired from a fully-charged 3000psi air rifle at about 920 feet per second, didn't even begin to dent it. They left a star pattern on the surface and removed some of the paint. It will withstand thousands of shots from small-caliber rounds, based on how it looks after I shot it about a dozen times. It will probably never wear out as long as you don't hit the frame rods or use too large a caliber on it. I'll get use and enjoyment out of it, but don't expect it to change your target-shooting life.

Son loved it for Christmas.

There are people giving it a bad review because it's too small or their gun doesn't flip the target. Same answer for both those complaints; move it closer. It is small but if you are buying to plink/target practice then you want them small. For the people that complain about the stickers being flimsy, perhaps they don't know that is the purpose of the stickers. To show you where you hit. I do wish that there were more stickers provided in the pack. There are two sets. But that is not a big deal. I don't have a powerful gun, its a chinese break barrel. It works just fine. I use it at about 20ish yards. It gives off a satisfying "PLINK" when you connect. It has provided hours of fun for my kids and me.

This is well-built and probably strong enough for plinking with a .22 rifle...not just a BB or pellet gun. That's the good part. Now for the bad. The targets are tiny. If you shoot from more than 10 ft away, you're gonna hit by accident.,,especially with an air gun. There are no instructions. I could not figure out how to set it up to reset. When the targets are down, the bottom of the resetting target will not reach them. And, because the targets are heavy gauge steel, it would require an extremely powerful pellet or BB gun to swing them up so they would rest mon the base of the resetting target. If that's the situation, you don't need a resetting target...you can just shoot to knock them back of. At half the price, I might have kept it to avoid the hassle of a return, but it goes back tomorrow.
