Have you tried this target...

[billydjann]

I am interested in moving targets...
Does anybody have experience with the Caldwell Shooting Gallery... I suspect the targets are to heavy to flip by using a .25 pellet or even a .22

I haven't tried them but looks like a fun chalange! They are to heavy but Steel Plinkers makes replacement paddles for airgun use. http://www.steelplinkers.com/CaldwellPaddles.html

Our 4h shooting club used it once for .22 lr's. Works like its supposed to can take a pretty good beating to.

I am thinking about it..... 
but before I do put down that kind of money...
I would like to see who already had tried it.... but, yea... they look like fun...
especially having little ducks going by.....

Found this post about it. Looks like magnum air guns are strong enough to knock down the targets.

I've read other places that the ducks can get stuck instead of reseting.

Neat little setup he has...
but ... I like little targets at longer range...
I go bored with 30 yards now.... everyone has me excited and I am doing 1/2 groups at 50 yards.... (some guns I have try)

Seems not long ago I got excited hitting targets 1 inch at 20 yards..... I thought it was cool I could hit a quarter ....
Man do things change as you get better and better....

I agree with billydjann. .

Me too. I get bored shooting at less than fifty yards. I spend most of my time at 70 to 100 latly. I have some saw horses that have threaded steel pipe couplers painted bright orange hanging from them with steel wire. They make great moving targets! Hit it once and then try and time your shots just right as they swing. Very challenging at 100 yards! And very satisfying when you connect. My best record is 9 hits in a row at 80 yards at dusk. The targets are about 2"x2". I use male couplers instead of female because the sharp threads shred the pellets good. Greatly reducing ricochets. Anyway a great inexpensive way to have a moving target that doesn't need power and never needs resetting.

Good idea .... I may have to try that.....
Sounds like fun
