reducers make it challenging, lots of fun for $20

reducers jump off sometimes when hit, then you have to walk back to target to put it back on.

plinking fun for all skill levels

Worked as advertised. When I hit the yellow, down it went. Pulled cord and up it came. Nice. Almost shot completely through my lunch and into when I was suppose to be working.

N/A

The instructions say for .177 only and to not set up within 25 yards. I only have a .177 so that wasn't a problem but the 25 yards was. I set up at 20 yards and had no issues (yet)

Easy change kill zones. Reset with string is nice.

Nothing, good value for what it is.

Don't shoot the string.

Easy to set up. Works well. Fun alternative for paper targets.

The target reducers pop off occasionally. But not a deal breaker by any means.

Having three or four of these, set up at varying distances, would make a great impromptu field target competition.

very fun and potentially challenging

thicker steel

if you have a condor ss don't not shoot within 40 yards

I really like the product is of good quality, is impact resistant, so I recommend it widely for Field Target.

This is a fun target for the back yard.

The pins retainers that are on the pivot points are a simple press on arrangement. Both targets after about 10 shots knocked the retainers off. I replaced them with a lock nut and bolt.

Get a can of black and yellow spray paint to touch up the target.

just getting into FT --- a lot of fun --target well made

the reducers need some work they are easy to shoot off

get one fun fun

Ease of assembly, high fun factor. Can purchase optional faces.

Make it easier to hit the paddle!

These are great to help keep younger shooters interested in shooting

Works Great,I like that I can change the size of the target center.Made of heavy gauge steel so will last.

Nothing

This is a great field target for a good price,Thank-you Pyramyd Air:)

The drop mechanism works very well. The price is reasonable.

Find additional ways to secure the kill zone reducers, the come out after 3 to 4 shots.

A budget alternative to more pricey field targets. I drilled a small hole in the tang of the kill zone reducers and use a removable clip to keep them in place.

These funtion VERY well, tho must be set up LEVEL front to rear / side to side. For $20 a great bargain in a entry level light duty cycle FT. Multiple kill zone reducer rings make the game a bit more challenging for sure !!

Some means of securing the reducer rings, you can rattle them off pretty easy above 15# power levels. ( Dual stick tape likely cure the issue ) Tad heavier gauge steel would be nice, but cost go's up with that sadly. being JUST BLACK is somewhat distracting in that squirrels & other target faces need some color that looks like critter in question ( I thing do anyways ) Paint chips at every hit ! ... so after a spell impact area go's lead grey and watching your POI misses becomes near impossible.

Said above .....

The target is a great idea and a lot of fun to shoot.

I would have made the target out of a bit heavier metal, and have some type of retaining device on the kill zone reducers.

I am shooting this target with a 22 cal. 35 ft. lbs. Air Ranger at 60 yards and while it works well. You have to straighten the trip paddle and reducers pretty often, as this much gun bends the target.

Everything. Well made easy to set up and use.

Nothing really.

Definitely worth a try.

Inexpensive compared to to other knockdown targets available over the internet. It's a robust design as I've been blasting mine with .177 and .22 for a couple of years now and all I do is spray paint it again after a session. Mine are premanently mounted outside but under a roof.

Nothing

I bought the pack of other faceplates for variety

This hit reactive steel target is everything that I expected it to be. The reduction centers are truly challenging, especially at ninety feet! The release paddle, having been hit so many times that there was no paint left on it, took touch up paint readily. I also bought the other set of "animals" just to change the appearance of the target. A good investment in entertainment!

My set arrived without the hardware to connect the squirrel to the base plate and the nut to connect the reset pin. Gamo sent them to me within two days after being advised of the shortcoming. Way to go Gamo!

This target system needs to be set up on level ground. Having it slightly forward causes the paddle to not release the squirrel. Once leveled, it worked like a champ!

Great target, like the reducers,

though some kind of pin to keep the reducers in place would be a great improvement. Also, the knockdown plate looses it's color quickly when struck by a magnum powered rifle pellet, so perhaps a 50 pack of sticky targets to re-up the color on the knockdown...... something along those lines.

Damned thing took misses even from my HW like a champ, there's never been any distortion in the plates,... some of the hardware could use upgrading, but not that big of a deal. FAQ

This is a very fun target to shoot. I shoot a 10m gun and a field target pellet rifle and have no problems.

some times the reducer ring can jump off, big deal!

Interchangeable silhouette faces Different size rings to accentuate shooters ability and or distance. Both free standing and hangable on tree trunk or post. Easy enough to reset using supplied string

wing nuts stead of flimsy ring washers to hold the taget resetting device.

There is something about a squirrel target that says,"go-on-I dare you" and this knockdown Gamo metal field target is no exception.
Made for air guns using lead pellets the Gamo Squirrel comes with ground stakes, a string for resetting, and can be swapped out using Gamo's 6 Animal Interchangeable Silhouettes.
The target performs as stated, however, a word of caution to the wise can go a long way...check the lock washers, clips, bolts, and springs regularly for they tend loosen as the target gets plastered with hits.
Then too, as with any metal target, pellet splatter is to be expected...hence, be especailly weary as to target placement when shooting.
Also, you may think to keep a small supply of touch up colors (both yellow and black) on hand as the paint chips off with each hit. Stick to lead pellets, check the hardware regularly, and this target should serve most air gunners for a very long time.

Got this target last week, my son and I have had a lot of fun knocking this thing down. We like being able to reset it from the firing line, and the sound of lead on steel.

I can't think of anything I would change.

You can get a set of other animal shapes to fit on this target.
