This target's title is simply wrong: it cannot be used with airguns, not rifles anyway. I tried with a .177 caliber at 900 fps, and a .22 caliber at 630 fps. Both were too powerful for the target. As a result, the swinging target would bounce off the bar on which it is supposed to rest, and return to a hanging position. On the rare occaision that the swinger stuck on the bar, hitting the second swinger was certain to bring both down.

But not all is lost. By removing the reset mechanism altogether (the bar and the reset target to which it is attached), I turned the targets into spinners. Hitting either target makes it spin around multiple times. So you still have a reactive target--well, a pair of reactive targets. Maybe this light-weight target would work properly with a very weak airgun or with an airsoft rifle, but it's not up to the job it claims to do.

For just a couple of bucks more, I highly recommend the Birchwood-Casey GRT17 Airgun Gallery Resetting Target.
