Better to build custom targets for your needs or buy pendulum gongs, dueling trees, and setups that seem to fall apart or just don't last . And what should u avoid once you get over the 22 cal mark ,what are some good inexpensive target setups or ideas .like to hear from fellow shooters .
N/A Targets on the range

I got a cheap KYL target off of Temu, was less than $60.
I’ve shot the 4 largest targets on it with my .30 (75ft/lbs at the muzzle) and they’ve all held up fine.
The 4 smallest have all been shot with my Notos, which makes like 19ft/lbs maybe. All of the smallest have held up fine so far.
I’ve only had it for a few days so I don’t have a super thorough review of it, but for $60 I’d be fine using it the way I have so far (high power for bigger targets, low power for smaller).
However, MidwayUSA has a Birchwood Casey KYL on sale for $99. That one’s rated at 400ft/lbs. The Temu one has no power rating, it just claims to be ar500.

If you get quality targets they don't fall apart and last a very long time. Shooting Targets have good sales often and are high quality.
Cheap gongs in a hurry can be picked up from most Walmarts.

You get what you pay for imo. Anything that’s made for airguns will get tore up pretty quick. I use 3/16 steel minimum for my airguns, I think it will handle up to 300 ft lbs at target. I have some generic ones from Midway that handle the bigger caliber’s and recently got some gongs from shooting targets7 that are very nice.

Cheap steel 3 or 4" gongs work (Ebay). Easy to figure out your own rack from which to hang them. 1/4 or 1/2" steel won't be penetrated by airguns.
