mainbutter Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 here's my question:What makes an entertaining, long-life, plinking target for a .22LR rifle?I've seen various metal targets, but with a wide price range I have no idea what kind of life expectancy various ones on the market have out there. Resetting targets look kind of cool, but maybe spinning targets have advantages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleye 4 me Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have a flipping critters walking target and really like it. Only have a few hundred rounds on it though so cant tell you about life expectancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntnfish Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I plan to pick up one of those walking cube type targets when the snow is gone to do some pinking. I have the hanging gong type and those work also. I've never shot the swinging reset type but I'm sure they'd work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grainbelt Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Check out the dueling tree by action target. They have a HSOforum and they are on youtube. My kids and I shoot at the rimfire model and we have a blast. It gets your heartbeat up trying to hit accurately, dropping mags and reloading as quick as possible to try and clear your side of target plates.

Farley Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 A buddy built me something like this: except mine has 7 targets all the same size. We call it the Spinney Thingy Dealey or the STD. We usually throw out some beer cans on the ground and some in the small trees\bushes at various distances and the object is to hit every target in order and if you miss its the next guys turn. But will probably invest in some new stuff this year, I saw that dueling tree and that looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampbuck Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 H2 Target Baby boomers exploding targets that can be set off by .22 Also havea 1/2 lber that really makes a bang! They are fun to shoot and suprise the kids and adults when they go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul pachowicz Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I've got one that pivots horizontally. I've been trying to wear that thing out with LR and mags for something like 20 years. Have to repaint the paddles quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
