Resealing rubber targets
« on: March 17, 2012, 12:18:58 AM »
Thinking about getting one of those resealing ball tagets that the stores are selling. The package says ,22 to 50 cal as long as they arent hollow points there supposed to last a long time. How well do these work? I will be shooting a variety of ammo but nothing huge.

They work great! We shot them with anything from 22s, 45s, and even a 50cal muzzleloader and they all made the same size hole, about 1/32" wide! The material seems to stretch as the bullet passes so it doesnt leave a big hole. They last a long time. Don't shoot hollow points at them though, the ones from our 44 made a 1/4" hole.

Same experience we are having with one of them. Pretty amazing stuff.

I'm with the other guys, they work great. I've hit mine everything I've got and its holding up pretty well. The hollow points do cut little plugs out of the target though. Mine is one of the swinging targets and if you look around behind the target you can find little plugs which have been cut out by the hollow points. :chuckle:
