Air Venturi Rat-On-The-Run Airgun Target

I bought one from Pyramyd over a year ago. I screwed it onto a tree stump at my range. It has held up after many shooting sessions and staying outside in all weather. I have replaced the string and painted the target. It is a great addition to my range. I shoot paper targets predominantly but the rat and a few spinners make it more fun.

Not a big deal but a resetting target would be nice. I would change that I waited so long to buy it.

It is not an easy shot if set up beyond 30 yards and reduced to the .5 inch target. It is a good target to bet with your buddies. I shoot PCP air rifles but I think a .22 rimfire would be ok if you shoot 50 yards +. Mounting the target on something solid is easy and better than staking it in the ground. Buy two.

This airgun target is pure FUN! I mounted it to my target stand and shoot this steel rat at 40 yards with my Benjamin Cayden .22 PCP air rifle (I use the lowest power setting for more shots per fill). If you hit the center target on the rat, the rat falls down (and it will not bounce back up). If you miss, the rat will not fall down. Pull the included string to reset the rat and shoot it over and over again. To increase the challenge, there are two built in target blockers that will reduce the size of the area that must be hit to knock the rat down.

A little stouter string that stretches less would make the rat a little easier to reset. Still, it is not difficult. You just have to pull a little farther.

You will wear the paint off of the target quickly, but this can be fixed with a can of yellow gloss spray paint (or flat black for the rat itself if you miss often).

So far i am very much impressed with its workmanship and thickness , smooth to the touch well made, if you THINK you are a good shot try it with a Springer and free handed and you are back to school really !, PCP too easy , it will improve your over all marksmanship and make you a better shooter over time, the string is a good length and the ability to adjust hole size is good.

Still evaluating... Will Let you know if need to.

I used screws to fasten it to the T pole i shoot from , had 1 ricochet so i will be building a box to put it in to and also to collect the lead splatter from getting in to my garden. the box it came in is just beautifully made too. wish i had bought 2 at the sale price. i shoot .177
