Ever Think Of Changing Targets? Unload the Speedloader On Something New

Most of us get stuck in our ways. If we grew up on paper targets, we keep shooting paper targets. If we were taught that a beer can against a dirt berm made the best target, we’ll just keep shooting beer cans.

Have you ever considered changing?

Non-Reactive – Paper targets are a good example of a non-reactive target. The bullets are usually passing through so quickly as to not cause much of a noticeable effect. With paper targets, the most common choices are ring targets (with or without scoring points), human silhouettes, or animal silhouettes.One disadvantage is that you’ll need a spotting scope to see how well you placed that last shot.

Of course, paper targets are usually single-use and recyclable, but they’re cheap ever though you’ll probably go through quite a few during the day. The big advantage is that you can save your best groupings and pin it to your garage wall!

Reactive – Reactive targets are those that move when they’re hit by a bullet. The simplest of these is just a tin can on a fence post…hit and and it flies off! Commercially-made reactive targets include ones that show obvious movement or a solid gong sounds. Most of these are made from bullet-resistant steel. Some are shooting gallery style so that they are knocked down and stay down when hit. Others hang so that they show the movement but then are ready to be shot again.

Hybrids – Some modern targets have aspect of both non-reactive and reactive targets. The most common is one that looks like a traditional paper target but changes color where it is hit. This allows you to see your groupings without a spotting scope. Of course, these are considerably more expensive than a standard paper target.

No matter what target you use, you’ll be hitting it faster and faster when you get good with your Speed Beez speedloader.
