Page 2 - Birchwood Casey Gallery Resetting Airgun Reviews

Solid construction.

Needs to be 3" taller. Hard to see in grass. Target stickers popped off on first use. Paint on or package with replacement stickers.

Even at 50 yd with my 25 cal. Hatsan 125 I don't have to worry about hitting the reset target. It resets when I shoot the one next in line. .177 cal does fine.

Very good construction and material for the price. Steel plates over 1/16 inch thick will take the beating from my RWS 350 and 48 calibers .177- but I don't see any problem using my .22s this thing is not made out of tin ,its steel plate. I'm shooting at 20 to 35 yards no problems whatsoever with the plates holding their position when impacted,and they all come down when hitting the upper target. Got this target today on Christmas ,its a blast ,great for making competitions to see who can hit all four targets the fastest and then knock them down again, I can do it in less than a minute from a rest position. Got to start practicing off hand.

Nothing - just follow my recommendations down below and you'll have a party with this toy.

Read the simple instructions and this thing will work perfectly. I installed mine on a plank of plywood ,one foot wide by 18 inches long. I used bob wire nails U shaped to restrain the legs of the target on to the plank of wood,I also used safety wire to hold the front legs into their upper position where they touch the center bar where the four targets are hanging. This procedure took me about 10 min - I then screwed the target and the plank to an old three foot wooden stool. End result one heck of a steady recycling target. Easy to move to different distances, although I'm thinking of getting another one so I can place one at 20 yards and the other at 35. My Ruger Blackhawk .177 which is a clone of the RWS 34 works fine on this target using 7.56g Gamo pellets it shoots them at around 900 fps- I don't see why 600 to 800 fps won't work just as well either. My RWS 350 and 48 use CPs 10.5g and smack this thing with authority- holding up just fine.

Nothing

Make it so that it works as advertised claims you only require 500 fps to use, Crosman 760 have 625 fps and at 21 feet will not flip the traget on to the catch bar

Don't buy if you have a Crosman 760 Pumpmaster

I think its a great target. No paper, no walking back and forth to reset, etc

It does not get stuck at top position easily and if one does get stuck shooting the second will reset the other. It's still worth having it does move and make a sound.

It's sturdy and simple.

The advertised 700+ fps of my new Winchester M-14 reproduction rifle is not enough to flip the targets regularly... even from 15 feet. Nor will it release the targets by hitting the top one. You can hit it all day with nothing but a pleasant "ping". The targets appear too heavy for most air rifles.

The concept is attractive. But you need a lot more than 700fps to have any fun.

Sturdy construction, works with all my airguns-1000 to 400 fps. Arrived fast and undamaged, with cheapest shipping rate.

The orange stickers fell off after two hits each! The whole target will move around if you just lean it forward on the leg props. Doesn't stick in the ground so good.

Paint the targets white, get a piece of 8"x 8" scrap 16 inches long, mark where you want the legs. Drill a 3/8" hole for each, 2" deep, angled at 60 degrees of lean. Stick target in, so the front is leaning toward the firing line. Now you don't have to worry about it flopping around, move it wherever you want, and take the target inside when you're done ,nice and clean.

I love these targets. They are very small, but that is what I wanted. I can hit them at 40 yards with good consistency. They are sturdier than they look. I've probably hit each target at least 300 times each with really no wear other than the glow paper stuck on them.

They should sell extra stickers for the targets. They certainly don't last very long. I have to go out and spray paint them every week so I can see them.

Stands up fine to my Marauder .25 and Marauder Pistol .22. After several hundred hits with the .25, this discs are still flat.

Mine showed up pretty well bent up. Pyramyd packaged it well but it was bent inside the manufacturer's packaging. Birchwood Casey's quality control should be better. After a few minutes of work in a vise, it worked great so no major complaints.

Lot more fun than just shooting paper. When using my Marauder .25, the discs usually don't stay up due to the higher energy of the bigger pellets. Still fun, though!

Works great. Resetting function is nice for us lazy folks.

We will see how it holds up to .22 cal ammo. Probably 100 rounds thus far with only scuff marks.

I am having a great time with target set-up. It is easy to re-set and keep shooting. Makes for some fun competition. Folds down flat, which makes it easy to transport and store.

The shrink wrap packaging is a challenge to get through. It takes some time to get the plastic wrapping off of all the parts.

One can improve the re-setting by applying some WD-40 to the swing mounts. This simply means that it does not take as much foot pound energy to reset the targets. Use this type of target for plinking fun - not for sighting in.

Its a huge amount of fun, and good value

Nothing. Its great for what it is. If you are getting too accurate, you just move it back, and declare which disc you are shooting for before you engage.

Resettable by shooting a reset tab, don't have to walk down range and set up targets.

Make it heavier, or mountable or something. My 1000 FPS Crosman knocks it down after a few rounds.

I have very large tree stumps at the end of my range that I set my targets on. I ended up mounting this down to one of them with small screws and sheet metal strapping so that it would stop falling over. Also, after a maximum of ten shots each the little orange bullseye stickers on the target tabs are pretty much obliterated. I replaced them with a small drop of fluorescent paint on each.

Design.

Make them heavier.

Use only further then 50 yards with hard hitting .22... They will spin but not hold like its sppose to. Made for lighter FPE.

This is an excellent little plinking target. Haven't had any problems yet. Lots of fun, especially with a friend.

Not much. The only issue I've had is setting it up in long grass makes the hanging targets harder to see.

The legs fold up for storage, so make sure you set them up facing the right direction. I had it facing the wrong way the first time, and took me a few minutes to realize why the targets wouldn't stay up after I hit them. The stickers do wear pretty quickly, so you may want to replace those eventually.

after i zeroing my rifles use this product , its very funny i hav 5 break barrell rifles and iam sure now i am a best airgunner.

maybe the paper of the targets

this target its small .

Portable and sturdy.

Make one that can handle a .22 and a .25

Good little setup. My boys use it all the time. Get some floresent spray paint for the targets. Stickers don't stay on very well.

It works.

Could be constructed better. I had to bend or unbend some of the rods to get things square.

The discs are 1.75 inches with 1.5 inch orange stickers.

very rugged steel construction, should hold up for years to come. alot of fun to shoot at.

as others have complained the shrink wrap packaging, it took 10 minutes at least to get it unwrapped.

Works great, rugged and well made you just can't beat it for the money.

Add a set of stickers for the face as they get beat up rather quickly.

Just shoot at it and have fun, this is a great little target.

Well built. Steel paddles can take shot after shot after shot without damage. Lot's of fun, cheap, and works as advertized.

I wish the legs were a little longer to get it off of the ground.

The original red stickers wore off after a few shots, but I bought some yellow duct tape and put that on. Very visible, still works, and a cheap replacement.
