I have been using this squirrel target for several weeks and must have fired over a hundred pellets at it. It works exactly as it should. It goes down when you hit the yellow target and it resets easily with a tug on the line. The line is much longer than I will ever use. Its a very durable line, probably nylon. I put this target about 60' out and don't come close to the max length of the line. At 60' the target is challenging enough without using the reducers. If you are an expert shot or if you want to put the target close you can use the reducers. The smallest reducer is about a 1/4" hole. The squirrel and reducers are made of a nice thick steel. Pellets do not dent the steel but they will take the paint off. The squirrel can be removed and flipped over. I repainted mine once after 100 shots. It takes 10 minutes to disassemble and paint. It is very satisfying seeing the squirrel go down. Way more fun then hitting soda cans.

I shoot air rifle field target competition and this target provides me an opportunity to practice at home. It is very well made and very sturdy. Various aperture adapters are provided to allow you to change the size of the opening and they work well. I have not yet bought the other animal faceplates, but having them available make this target even more versatile. I am not a hunter, but for those who use magnum air rifles to hunt small game, this target would be very valuable in practicing for an actual hunt. I highly recommend this product.

The target is sturdy, built very well and it will last a long time. It works well with high or low velocity guns. It comes with stakes to put it on the ground but I would recommend attaching it to a board for faster and easier setup when you move your target. Some slight assembly is required but it is easy to do.

Mounted this target on 2X10 X 10 in. long treated lumber,you dont need stakes.Also made a threaded mount for rings held on by a wingnut.Oiled all joints and moving pieces with a drop of oil.Have fired 400 pellets at this target with no problems.Easy to disassemble and repaint.HOURS and HOURS of FUN.

This product is amazing. Easy to put together. Fun to shoot. There is no better shooting target out there. It's a bang for your buck.

This is a perfect target, it is loads of fun. The kill zone reducers make it very challenging. I suggest getting the other siloettes for it.

if this target cost $40.00 it would still be a good buy . i dont see how you can build these an -sale an / ship an not lose money, i think this is the best air gun target of this tip you can buy i bought 2 they were so good i bought 3 more so i can set one at 20 yards them / 25 / 30 /35 /40 yards this is a good setup .

This squirrel target is a lot of fun. It has held up to some punishment from my Big Cat .22. I wouldn't recommend using Gamo Rocket armor-piercers on it, though. They do leave significant dents in the steel, and I have destroyed the metal ring that connects the line to the front of the squirrel. Fortunately, I was able to replace it with a key ring. My only complaint is that one of the hinge rivets sheared after a few weeks of use. I was able to replace it with a bolt/nut combo though, so it's not a big deal. Overall, this is a fun target to shoot at.

This target works as advertised, and provides varying levels of challenge with the adjustable target windows. However, the hardware that the target articulates on has a tendency to fall (or should I say fly) apart. When it does, good luck searching the yard for the parts. An easier solution is to put a regular bolt with a nylock nut on it, problem solved and it shouldn't fly apart again. With touch-up paint now and then, this target should stand up to a lot of abuse from pellet guns without fail.

This is a very nice target and is really fun to shoot at, when you hit the center it goes down. It is well made, but probably for .177. I have been using it with an air rifle chambered for .22 and in a word it is knocking the heck out of it. After around 200 shots the center reducer was bent so badly that it would no longer stay in place. I was able to bang it back into shape, but not sure how many times that will work. Also every shot takes paint off so after about 30 shots you really could not see any yellow on the target center any longer, so I hve been using day glow center stickers.
