There are already excellent reviews on this product and the fact that it does what it does really well. I am not going to get into the details..but I will give you my synopsis of this.

I have two boys that have just discovered how much fun it is to play with spring based airsoft guns. The BB's are all plastic and they can get all over the place in and around your home. What is the best way to keep them contained and thus your home and yard clean......a sticky target. Yep...this is they way. My elder son uses this with a hand gun and a shot gun and the BB's plain out stick to the target from a decent range... Therefore, NO MESS and no plastic bb's all over the place in your home or yard.

I highly recommend this for target practice and the sanity of all parents and users of BB guns.... I am sure over time the stickiness will run out...but I have a solution. WE have 3m adhesive spray, which we can spray back onto this thing and it will re-energize it for a period of time.

I have a feeling this will continue to work for a long long time to come...at-least as long as the target is visible.

5/5

I bought this so I would have a safe place to shoot my airsoft arsenal indoors. This is perfect for that. The stronger the shot, the longer it sticks. My weakest electric with weak batteries at about 5-10ft stick and start rolling down immediately. My most powerful rifle at almost point-blank range stuck for quite a while, then started to slowly roll down. I use .12g pellets with a variety of my guns and this target performs wonderfully. No parts that need almost constant replacing and the pellets roll down neatly into the tray, even the ones that are far off to the sides. If you own an airsoft gun of any type, this target will make reusing ammo about as easy as possible.

I got this target so I could do some indoor plinking without littering my room with little plastic pellets. So far it's been fine. I've had it for only a week or so, to be fair.

The pellets I've used are the small weight, .12 grams I believe, and generally they stick, hang for a few seconds, and then start slowly sliding down the target. For me that's been fine - I can see where it lands, and it's actually kind of nice to not have to walk over and pick them off to make room for more. They collect in a little reservoir also, which is handy.

I'm not sure if I should reuse the pellets. I feel like it might be ok, especially considering my cheap gun, but I also don't know how I'd clean out the gun if one exploded in it. It's electric, but just a 35 dollar model.

Anyway, the only complaints I could have are these: for one, the target is smaller than I imagined. I didn't read too closely, but it looked like a dart board so I kind of expected it to be that size. For reference, it's about the size of a medium pizza from Domino's, I'd say. For two, it's a bit crooked. I'm a little compulsive, and the 20 is not evenly at the top and it kind of irritates me.

The question now is whether the sticky will remain sticky. It came with a covering on it, and I've been carefully sticking it back on to avoid dust buildup. I imagine it won't last too long, as sticky things tend not to, but I'm hopeful all the same.

I'd say at this price, go for it. It's definitely really handy to have indoors. I'm not sure if the alternatives are any better, but this one is adequate.

One more thing: please remember not to toss aside the protective eyewear just because you assume it will stick! Sometimes they do not stick, and if you miss and hit the wall behind it, it will bounce back straight at you, and because it's close range it will be pretty high speed!

I love this product! It works as described and adds to my finished basement. It's larger than printable targets so it's easier to see
and I don't have to print or copy target sheets anymore.

the board is not sticky to the touch. but when BBs are shot, they stick on really well. very convenient and easy to set up. just the right size. the quality is really good too

I haven't been using this for more than few days but for my shooting distance (5' to 15') with 0.20 gram 6mm BBs and HFC G17 Black/Silver HW Spring Airsoft Gun, it works as expected. BBs will stick to target and after a while start rolling down. BBs are also not deformed so I can re-use them! If I knew that I can reuse the BBs then I would have not ordered 5000 BBs.

By the way, I put the original target protective backing on the target after every shooting session. I hope this will help me last the stickiness for longer period of time since no dust will accumulate on the target surface.

this is very neat idea. shoot at a sticky surface area and it catches it. its cool and all... IF you hav a low powered weapon. i use the Tsd Tactical M9 GBB. its about 300 fps and currently its blowing chunks of plastic out of this target. im not right up on the target either. im a good 30ft away or so and after about 50 Clips its now just jelly. my entire back side is scattered about on my floor. however this is a GREAT product if you hav a lower powered weapon. i think 250fps and below would b perfect.

I've put a couple hundred or so rounds into this target, and here are my thoughts.

It's great for indoor use, and does trap the pellets. My issue is that it traps them TOO well. Pellets, at least on mine, definitely don't "slide down slowly into the container". In fact, they don't move.
Keep in mind this is just using a KJW GBB green gas pistol, nothing crazy powerful.

The first day I used it, I figured it was just slower than expected, so I let it sit for two days. Not a single pellet had moved, and i had to pluck them off slowly by hand.

So, yes, I suppose I'd prefer it to be too sticky rather than not sticky enough, but it is a bit of a pain to have to pluck off all the little pellets after shooting. (And some hang on so well, they streeeetch the gel layer way out before letting it snap back into place, making me worried I'm going to yank it right off the target!)

For the price, though, it's definitely worth it, and it does trap the pellets so they don't go everywhere.

*Edit, a year later: Several thousand rounds later... I have to say it's well worth the price. Eventually, the spot behind the bullseye started cracking, and now has broken free. Pellets can now go right through it. So, I'm buying another. After all this time, it still holds the pellets like a vice-grip everywhere else.... with no shelter from dust or anything else.

Thir target worked as described and provided an afternoon's entertainment for two retirees over the Thanksgiving holiday. My neighbor(friend)and I shot many plastic pellets using several soft air pistols in the living and dining room areas of my house. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. (We did not shoot the turkey ((or the dressing)))!!

when i opened the box, the target was not entirely flush. over the next couple of days, it got worse, so now about half of the target is is sort of bulbed out. also, the plastic is quite cheap, as i cracked the plastic just putting the target in and out.

the stickiness part of the target works as expected though, and i use this target for my airsoft shooting.
