Birchwood Casey Ground Strike, Long Lasting Reactive Targets

I LOVE these things. I bought two of them and can't get enough of them. I hit them with .223, and 9mm ball with no issues. Be careful when firing 40 or 45 hollow-points at them; they can take the abuse but the hollow tip also takes some of the plastic with them.

Reallly fun target we take along on prairie dog hunts. When the shooting gets slow around lunchtime, we put these in the field at 200 yards (using range finder) and have some fun and ensure our rifles are still shooting straight). The front barely shows a mark and the back is self healing as well. They come with some stick on targets that are great for shooting competitions to see who buys dinner at night.

So, here's the thing. I can't tell you if this is a good target practice item. I didn't get it for that. I have a 164 Mastiff/Great Pyrenees combo. His name is Tank and he's awesome, but he's hard on dog toys. He has swallowed whole tennis balls. That's bad. So, when I saw this and read what it was for, I thought it might make a great toy for Tank. And it has proven to be AWESOME! It has lasted a full 24 hours with him (a record), showing only minimal deformation. He loves chewing on it and even falls asleep on it and he'll growl in defense of it, even in his sleep. So, I cannot speak to its intended purpose, but as a dog toy for a giant breed, this thing is the best.

Target does not move when stuck. I shot it with 22 LR, 223 Remington and 22-250, no movement even when viewed through 60 power spotting scope at 100 yards.

got 3 of these and have shot them mostly with a 9mm and a 12ga with bird shot/ skeet . The 9mm leaves little holes in them but it actually stopped pellets from the shotgun, you could see them just trying to come thru the back side but just not quite. Eventually this will be shot up/out but so far its holding up rather well.Stays up, even the 12ga barely made it pop over, can hardly see it move when shot with the 9mm.

Fun target to chase.

I have shot the crud out of these. Any caliber and these respond and are fun. I've put well over 500 .223 rounds and 1000 9mm rounds into one and it's still alive. Love it.

It does absorb bullets as advertised but does get small holes from 45 caliber sometimes...bounces around alot so fun if you have a shooting range that you can continue shooting at it or you will get frustrated.

Couldn't be happier with these - they take a beating and don't really break down. Brings fun to guns on the farm - great to chase it across the property.
