I have the ducks as well but can't recommend them. They will bend with even 7,5J because the metal is so cheap. I recommend getting a few spoons and hang them on a stick so they can spin. Cheaper and they will not bend, even after a few thousand rounds.

This brings back a memory from when I was teaching my young nephew to shoot many years ago and we were using polos to shoot through the hole. I showed him how it was done over and over again and he kept saying wow I hope I can shoot like you one day. Little did he know I was purposely missing because for one I’d even struggle to get a string of them to set the bar, but it it kept him amused for hours or until he’d shot every pellet I had. And do you know I don’t think I’ve ever told him yet nearly 30 years later, sometimes I’d clip one just to look as if I was aiming for the hole but funny nevertheless.

Take a 2p coin and the paper caps we all used to use in our cap guns, not the plastic things but the rolls of red paper with the hundreds of small dots. Wrap tightly round the coin about a dozen times. Use a piece of sellotape to bind it all together. Et Voila, cheap reactive targets with a bang and smoke.

I may or may not recall doing something similar with ball bearings for reactive catapult ammo. Oh, and the odd hockey ball...

I would inform all my neighbours about the exploding blanks. Give them some rough days when it takes place and perhaps a time frame. People get grumpier when they're nervous or kept out the loop. Better still invite some over to have a try.

Haha, that bang at the end of the tune 😊. Sweet!

Another great video, highlighting the fun aspects of the hobby, doesn't always need to be about serious range shooting or vermin control! Thanks again and keep up the amazing work! 👍

Firebird exploding targets will put a smile on anyone’s face!!!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻

The possibilities are endless, right. You forgot the lollipops lol.

Those ducks rejected all your pallets 😂😂

Make your own shoot n c by getting some card, yellow preferebly, some wide sellotape, and a can of black matte spray paint, tape over completely the card then spray it black, when dry, draw by scratching cirles and a bullseye, saves a lot of money as the shoot n c are around £12, for 10 targets, doing it my way gets you 36 for a few quid

Really enjoyed this. Thanks Andy.

Those cheep nasty cherry tomatoes for a quid for around 20 are the best targets in the world. some BBq sticks in the ground and pop these on them. I set dozens at all different range. Great fun

Exploding blanks bottle got me. Now i have to try that. Thanks Andy!

A superb and entertaining review Andy. For some years I’ve had several of these targets, snooker spinner, rabbit reset unit etc, also single spinners and can vouch that these type of metal targets are really robust and long lasting as you rightly say. I do however store them in a shed when not being used and apart from pellet chips they still look like new, amazing quality 👍 and a LOT of fun 😁

They are great fun after a bit of target work.

Oh man! This was a good video! Allkinda nice targets! The pellet catching duck box though, apparently only catches the missed pellets..😁 But box targets like it and the likes are always nice to have. I've though mostly made my own targets n boxes. Got a string resettable box with 6pcs of 60mm plates to shoot down. Quite large targets yes, but it's mostly for close range replica rifle and pistol plinking rather than for real target work.. The Reign.. A very nice pick for this video. I really want one for myself too. A massive thanks to Andy and crew for yet another sweet video for my Friday morning mug of coffee..

Love the exploding ones, as I don't have neighbours. Just started to watch your channel. I have just bought the Gamo swarm 177 as I have thousands of rats to get rid of. My poor cat can't keep the rats down to many.

Great video Andy, lots of cool targets! 👍 For a couple more ideas: sidewalk chalk is good stuff! It's very easy to cut into smaller slices (any kind of small handsaw will work) and its no problem to tell if you've hit it. Also empty shotshells are good for plinking at and are virtually free, just grab them from a skeet shoot. 👍😉 Everyone have a great weekend and happy and safe shooting! Pete 🇨🇦

Brilliant review Andy. Loved the bottle one. I bought some Thunder Caps a few weeks ago which allow to to fill most drinks bottles with compressed air and turn them into a DIY exploding target. I've got a video of one of them but don't seem to be able to attach it. But they do make a bang 😂

Cool targets sure can make plinking alot more fun!

My back stop behind all my targets is a bunch of massive logs strapped together with metal straps and then center blocks behind that and I have never had a stray bullet or pellet leave my property

A while back Andy mentioned the possibility of comparison reviews, perhaps some of the newer releases from BSA against those they replaced or the differences within the ranges of various brands could be an option.

That was fun....and very helpful. 👍

Ring pull tin lids are good targets. Bend the ring pull to a right angle from the lid and stand it on the ring pull. They do get damaged and need replacing frequently, but they are free so no problem.

I use those too! Only because I don't want to walk downrange every time after shooting them, I suspend two of them together by the rings. The challenge is not to hit the ring and separate the lid from it prematurely. They can take a lot of fire untill they are done. After that I do end up shooting the lid off the ring. They are suspended in a manner that keeps them from rotating freely so they face you at all times. I also like to suspend drink cans by the ring without bending the ring up in the same manner and then shoot the can in two so the bottom falls off. If needed I go downrange and rotate the can along the ring a little to expose the remaining parts better. In the end I shoot the top part off the ring again.

Great fun Andy!

I have a Texas star style airgun interactive target. Hit one of the little plates and they fold over, and the whole star rotates, making subsequent hits much harder unless to wait for it to settle

Hi Andy, they look great fun. I would love to see a video on your shooting ground, backstop etc a walk around as it were... thanks 👍

Great video

When I was a kid old Airfix model planes that I no longer wanted to keep made good targets, albeit they did not last long and there were many bits of plastic to clear up afterwards. Best session was with a plastic model battle ship that was floating along the stream at the end of a friend's garden. Firing from a lying position the misses looked great as they sent up spouts of water near the model. Other targets included match sticks and tiny little 1/72 scale model soldiers. Happy days.

I have a collection of old metal pans that I stick various styles of target cards on and hang them from a washing line, I have a fairly large garden and at the back is just scrub so the lead isn't much of a problem and I can collect most of it afterwards.

Great review 😊

NICE video. I like the legacy reactives as well as the new ones (to me). another great video.

I like the look of the triple resetting target by Gr8 Fun, looks sturdy and compact

Got the Walther Reign with the same scope and a Hogun Deimeater silencer. My Reign's a Mk1 0.177 though. Also got the duck target box. I shoot it at 40yds and have to straighten out the ducks from time to time even though I'm

thanks for the info, I enjoyed it and learned,,

It looked like all the lead was bouncing of the ducks to the outside rather than collecting in the box 📦 🙄.

And off to the sheet metal market we are!

Have the dive tank at ready fir filling gun . Liked all targets but snooker one looked good Cracking show as always 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁✌️🤞

Fun but think of the noise with neighbours. Old socks keep down the sound in pellet catchers. Leaving targets in the garden for all to see may invite unwanted attention?

Another brilliant review Andy .Have never seen a kill zone squirrel target though .Weird when you consider the greys far outweigh the zombies 😂

lol that one with exploding 6mm target is like way i used to shoot, i used put blanks into a pre drilled board anfd shoot them. then later i used to shoot the ends of exploding pellets. great review

Proper job!

Just want to share a good target. I take used paper plates, stack 2 with a nail in the center, and on the back use a marker to make a + between nail and edge. Then rotate a bit to cover holes. Nail it to a tree or wood of choice. You can put several + targets on a plate

I've been waiting for AAR to do a target review. This is probably a long shot (pun intended) but does anybody remember the Targ Teknik field target box advertised in Airgun World, February 1987. The target box was a big deal at the time, with a hefty review including a centre-page poster of the target and its companion Chrono.

Great video. More targets please! I watch your videos every Friday and would love a gun but I don't want to shoot live targets and paper would be fun for all of 5 minutes so I'd struggle to justify spending any money on a gun. The snooker target was my favourite here, what a great idea.

I’d like to see you review the Benjamin Akela… I’m thinking of getting one and your reviews are more in-depth 🙏

THANK YOU

You need to do a slow motion on the duck targets…I think the lead was shattering before going into the box. Lol

i use some clay tubes 4cm long, hammered some nails through a board that they sit on, small targets that are very satisfying to hit.

Maccaronis do the same job even more cheaper. 😉

I reccomend not shooting at the Umarfex magnetic knockdown target closer than 10m. At 6 yards, which I can accomodae indoors at home the targets themselves can go concave, even with sub 12ft/lb rifles, and the main pivot for the targets is made from plastic for the most part. This has broken on mine.

Would like to see the exploding targets combined with the tannerite flash pellets.

We have firebirds, the Americans have tannerite. Lol

Chalk stick floof up well

Cool

Andy, can you recommend a garden target set up for a pair of bb air pistols, his and hers, glock 19x and a sig p365, and what kind of distance should we be looking at to the target. Mature (ish) enthusiastic amateurs 😊 Thank you.

I have the Walther duck shoot target. Presumably it's the same as Andy's, just rebadged Walther. Unfortunately I used my sub 12 ftlbs rifle on it at 20 yds. Big mistake. I had to take it apart and beat the ducks flat. Then I read the instructions which stated max. power was 6 ftlbs. Oops!

Andy, great reviews, please can you also review, target’s that are quiet, and kinder to the neighbours ? I don’t like the chalkies. 😂

Hi Andy great review however you need to add the stay safe and shoot safe with a comment on read the instructions very carefully with the Firebird exploding targets - yes they may be great fun and I do like them but the second one I shot has damaged my left ear permanently because I wasn’t wearing adequate ear protection!

Are lead fragments in your yard not a concern for you? I would put up a tarp or something to keep that it somewhat contained.

I have the biathlon targets 🙂

I brought a Walter but the barrel was a bit duff , even with the scope at max it was still nearly 1ft out at 30 meters . The silencer had a grove cut out ! I took it back but the replacement was the same maybe just a bad batch ?

Love a bit of target time - 1st what`s the SP with buying .177 blanks, 2nd does anybody know where to buy a "Texas Star" they look great fun, but it would have to be air gun spec.

Great Vid as always..what yellow paint do you use on the targets?

I like to suspend soda cans by the ring without bending the ring up with a paperclip so they can't spin. Then I shoot the can in two so the bottom falls off. If needed I go downrange and rotate the can along the ring a little to expose the remaining parts better. In the end I shoot the top part off the ring. It requires some challenging target work as you progress but it saves you a lot of walking. 😉 Tons of fun!

Lots of lead splatter coming out the front, would rather not have my yard full of lead splatter.

Have you done anything on bell target shooting. Cheers. Nice video.

Just wondered what air weapon would need stopping by the sleepers. Or are you going harder? (Ahem, as it were)

Question, do these flip or spin targets work with low power pistols - 1-2 ft\lb?
