Pretty cool rolling target, I am thinking it will make for a good pistol game when the guys come over.

It's interesting, but I'm wondering how bad the ricochets are going to be, when you shoot the thing and hit it at different angles. It's not going to absorb that much energy from the round, so there'll be a lot of speed left in the bullet. Where will they go, and did the company think about that before they put them on the market? I don't think I want magnum rounds flying every which way at my range!

Saw these in a magazine and really want to try them side by side with those rubbery.....something bullet ball traps that come in all shapes and sizes.

If the bullet trap ...things bounce and skip around any which way that'd be fun and good practice but I will always love the ping of shooting at metal targets.

If anyone has trigger time against one of these interesting metal targets I'd love to hear it.

the ball ones are pretty fun but are only about 5 inches and can get lost behind slopes and in small holes also can get out of a reasonable range quickly. I am hoping the larger/higher elevation of these along with the heft will keep them in range longer and make them easier to see.

Yeah, but shooting at hardened steel, you might put yer eye out, like was said in "Christmas Story"!
