I've been thinking that maybe a better target would put more enjoyment into my range trips. Something I can set out and not have to ever reposition it. Jumping Targets makes these out of that supposedly armor AR500 steel, 3/8 inch thick. Either is a little over a foot high. They're rated from .22 up through .357 and .308. It would be nice to have one target work for my 22s and .38s. https://www.jumpingtargets.com/ This one weighs 8 pounds and rocks when hit. $ 55. : ![]() This one has a square base and a center spinner. 17 pounds, $ 85. ![]() They advertise that you never have to walk downrange again to adjust a target. I still don't know if I'd trust even these to stay put. My local Sportsman's Warehouse carries them, so Ive handled a few. Last edited by bearcatter; 09-30-2017 at 02:47 PM. |

I'd probably go with the spinner. My guess is it would be less likely to need re-positioning. I shoot paper so my only real experience is with pop ups in the military.

I'd go with the spinner because it's heavier. However, I like the dude in the sunglasses.

![]() One inch would do on the spinner, too. Just a definite point to aim at. | |
