Ferris Wheel Metal Resetting Mobile Shooting Targets for Pistol Airgun Air Rifle

Mine has been shot a good 400-500 times, or at least shot at. It is a very fun little reactive target that you can lose a lot of time playing with. The magnets are weak and reset poorly, the construction seems fairly light duty but it's really reasonable for the price. Suggested power level is a bit sketchy. A .177 at about 6 FPE seems about perfect for it. Other gun I'm using is a .22 spring piston at about 12 FPE. I think that is the top power limit. That rifle is smacking the heck out of it, usually so hard the plates bounce back a time or two. No denting, or disfigurement yet. The 6 FPE option just works more cleanly and doesn't approach thar "red line" quite as much. This is a real fun backyard target that I expect tobpay for itself many times over in the course of a year or so.

This is a very fun target to work with. I have used both .177 and .22 caliber pellets, this target holds up to both very well. The metal is thick enough so that doesn’t bend, the 22 only takes away the paint. Assembly is easy. The magnets are a little bit lite and will sometimes let go when you hit a target next to it. As you hit the target and they fall down, the Ferris wheel will rotate. Plenty of run to shoot the target after they fold it down to put them back in place. The weight distribution of the target flags can be a puzzle to knock down all the flags. It’s fun to figure out how to rotate the Ferris wheel. Only thing I would change about this is I would offer it with a motor that rotates the Ferris wheel so I can shoot at a moving target. I think that would be great fun. I have looked all over the place and can’t find any moving targets. I would really like to set my backyard up Like a fairground shooting gallery, but I’m happy with what I have.?

Used for the first time today 5-2-21 and wheel keep falling apart dont care how much I tighten. When it is too tight the wheel do not spin. On the first hits the metal bent. I was using a .22 caliber air rifle. Pellets that was used was .22 cal/25 grain. Ok concept but poorly made.

This is a lot of fun. You don't need to keep jumping up to reset your target. It's made pretty good and seems like it should last quite a while. The magnets don't hold the paddle every time it's flipped, but its still fun because you hear the plink and the paddle moves. It turns just enough to hit a moving target, but not so fast that it's impossible to do. I would buy it again.

So I bought this spinning resetting target for my gamo swarm maxxim inert gas piston rifle. It fires around 900 fps. Awesome rifle, unfortunately it's way too powerful for this target. It put some serious dents in the target and actually bent it on one occasion causing me to stop shooting and try a less powerful pistol. I broke out my Benjamin trail np mark II. it shoots around 600 fps and worked much better. Unfortunately the targets did not work the way advertised every time, just most of the time. I gave this product 3 stars because of this. As long as your not using a super powerful rifle at ranges under 15 yards you should be ok most of the time. It can be fun as long as your expectations aren't too high. Is it worth 50-60 bucks? Hell no! Is it worth 30-40, yeah sure.

I'm going to have to rebuild mine. It went boom LOL! With 33.95 JSB King Heavy MKII pellets at 750 fps (42.4 ft pounds of muzzle energy compared to 7.8 with a Daisy 880 in .177) it blew the plastic hub apart by ripping the arms out at 20 yards. One arm sailed back 5 feet. The paint on the back of the orange target is splitting from being dented out. The paint on the front is halfway to the moon. :-) My solution will be to rebuild the hub out of aluminum (I have Boeing surplus nearby!), move it out to 40 yards and put a regulator on my Blitz so I can dial the pressure down a a wee bit. It will survive that. Overall quality of the product is really good, just watch the video and see they are not kidding when they say it's not meant for PCP rifles. Not asking for a refund, it was cheap enough for my experiment. (Scope is a PARD DS3570LRF(940NM) 5 stars. Cheers, everyone!

I had high hopes for this spinning target system. I was using a Hatsan Flash Pup 22 cal PCP air rifle. It isn't a weak air rifle, but certainly not one of the most powerful out there. My first shot not only dented the metal, but made the whole thing "cup". Also, there was so much force that it would pull the spoke out of the hub and you can see them laying on the ground. Finally, when you hit the target it causes all of the spikes/ spindles to shake free and either open or close all at the same time. The magnets are not powerful enough and the resetting of the target doesn't work as it flips back to reset with so much force that it simply snaps back again. Not sure what you are planning to shoot with this, but perhaps a BB gun or low power "pump" pellet gun, etc. Do NOT think that this will work well for any higher powered PCP or worse yet, an actual 22 long rifle cartridge. That would quickly destroy this target system. Just so you know....

It is easy to assemble. The targets will not fall for airsoft pellets. I tried .12g and .25g, 300 fps and 325 fps. It will make a nice BB target, so I will use it for that.
