Properly manufactured steel targets use special, hardened grades of steel that will not pit or deform when shot at. That’s important to maintain a smooth surface on the target so that bullets do not ricochet, or bounce off, the steel at unpredictable angles.

And they’re not only enjoyable to shoot – they can be an excellent training tool because they present both a very easy target (the entire piece of steel) and a very difficult one (nothing but the piece of steel). It's pretty common to see shooters shoot 2-4X tighter groups from one magazine to the next, just by switching to the Self-Aiming Target.

Designed to be used for pistols, carbines, and long range precision rifles, regardless of whether you're shooting real bullets at the range or pellets/bb's/airsoft/rubber bullets at home. Reactive targets don’t just turn colors or fall over, though. Steel targets make a lovely TING! noise when shot.

You see, pistol accuracy at defensive distances are simply a matter of lining up the muzzle and pressing the trigger without disturbing muzzle alignment. Period. You get 180 pasters so you can get more use from your targets or use them for pistol "sniper" challenges 🙂 On April 20 th, 1865, while working for the Pope as a scientific advisor, Secchi was tasked with quantifying the clarity of the Mediterranean Sea…and he created the Secchi disk to do so. No matter what you’re shooting on the range, you’re probably having fun . You can add so much more to your day with reactive targets whether you’re a new shooter or someone who’s put more than a few rounds through your guns. The pattern you see on the target is called a Secchi disk and it's got a really cool story...The Secchi disk was created in 1865 by an Italian Jesuit priest, astrophysicist, and scientist named Pietro Angelo Secchi. He's one of the first people credited with figuring out that our Sun is a star.

Multicoloured: The targets feature a range of colours, including green, brown, and grey. This helps to simulate different hunting scenarios and conditions, such as woodland or open fields. Breath, stance, grip, and everything else all help with muzzle alignment or trigger press, but those 2 are the golden keys. Durable: Made from high-quality materials, these targets are built to last. They can withstand repeated shots and exposure to the elements.

You can also get slightly less explosive effects from other reactive targets. They may not have the drama of Tannerite, but they can be a bit safer and more likely to be allowed at your range. How about plastic self-healing targets that also have the ability to be set to fall down after a direct hit? Balloons are a fun and reasonably sized target that works well for new shooters. They’re also the target of choice in the unique sport of SASS Mounted Shooting , where competitors ride horses and shoot blanks at balloons arranged around a special course. And I’ve been rotating and using this pattern with shooters for a few years with great success…first an upside down triangle, then 2 triangles with the points touching, and finally the rounded triangles that you see here.Compact and Portable: The compact size and lightweight design make these targets easy to transport and store. Perfect for use in the field or at the shooting range. The splatter makes it easy to see where you hit from a distance without squinting or up close without taking your focus off of your front sight.
