Splatterburst Silhouette Reactive Shooting Targets

You’ll spend more time shooting than walking to your targets to check your shots with Splatterblast silhouette reactive targets. It’s not so bad when you’re only walking 50 feet, but who wants to walk a couple hundred yards on a rifle range to check a target when you can just look at it with a pair of binoculars?

While only those who are familiar with and committed to practicing the safe handling of firearms should be permitted to shoot, anything you can do to minimize crossing the firing line to check targets helps reduce the possibility of unsafe conditions when two or more people are shooting.

Most of the shooting I do on our home range is with pistols at distances between 10 and 50 feet, with the majority between 10 and 20 feet. I can easily change technique to adjust shot placement while firing since it’s so easy to see every shot at this distance. This is so much better than essentially wasting the rest of your magazine on shots that aren’t going where you think they’re going.

These targets work for any caliber, from airsoft and BB guns to high-powered rifles and shotguns. I supervise my son while he uses his BB gun at around 30 feet and I can see where the BBs impact just fine.

The entire target is like one big Post-it note that sticks to almost anything. I apply the target directly to cardboard and then attach the cardboard to the vertical supports of my target stand with a large binder clip in each of the four corners. The stand itself will blow over in the wind before the target will separate from the cardboard with this method , even when using conventional non-adhesive paper targets.

You get the best deal on Amazon when you buy the 50-pack. At time I wrote this review, you would have been able to get almost 2 50-packs for the price of buying 5 of the 10-packs of targets. Shooting ranges make a huge margin on the targets they sell, so save some money and bring your own.

These targets lasted a lot longer than I thought they would. You get 4 replacement bullseyes (two for center mass and two for the head) as well as 10 black patches to extend the life of your target.

I was pleased to see that these are manufactured in the U.S. That is icing on the cake for any product that I was already going to buy.
