Best Target Ever Just Broke!

Well guys, after probably 2,500 pellets slamming into this Crosman Squirrel Resetting Target, it finally snapped the welds!!!!

It's been set out at 73 yards and shot at with mainly my Crosman Fire, Crosman Diamondback and 30+ FPE Avenger its couple years I've had it, but it's still nuts to see how concave this thing became. Probably from the Avenger lol You can see the ~4 spot welds on the right. Or where they used to be!

(Here it's laid on a flat cinder block for reference of the curve.)

I have spray painted the two target areas multiple times over time and I technically can still use the target, it just won't be shooting through the squirrel "vitals" hole for the top one.

I think it's the best target for the money. Like $17, don't have to walk down range to reset it, can play "how fast can you smack the target" with a friend (one shoots top, other shoots reset target on bottom, keep going til mags run out), and it also is very obvious when you get a hit or miss. Just all around good target to have for you guys looking for something awesome for cheap.

Got mine from Walmart but I know they're on Amazon too.
 
I have the same target. One of my favorites.

A hammer to re-flatten and a few tack welds should put you back in business for another 2500 pellets.
🤔if one didnt have a welder; could one just find a metal plate that will rest from a few inches on the stake-up to the squirrel feet. Then you could use self tappers or drill holes to use nuts and bolts(K'nex style)🤗🤪🤙
