Just Shoot Me Targets Durable

TARGETS FROM JUST SHOOT ME PRODUCTS ARE MADE OF BALLISTIC POLYMER, WHICH LETS BULLETS PASS THROUGH WITH LITTLE DAMAGE.

Finding the right system to receive lead is just as important as the right tool to throw it. You must have targets suited to your type of shooting.

Of course, the most common target - and the one I use to see what my bullet is doing - is the paper target. Cowboy matches are shot with steel targets, and three-gun contests use steel and silhouette paper targets. Then there's plinking, which is always fun but not known as skill builder.

Innovative, Reactive
Lately, I've been using a new type of target, made by Just Shoot Me Products, that fits almost any situation. It's made of ballistic polymer, which lets bullets pass through with little damage to the target. The hole seems to close, so the targets last a long time. In some cases, the target will actually catch a bullet and hold it.

The target eliminates bullet splatter, which is common with steel; so it's a safe alternative for combat shooting in close quarters. I don't see it replacing steel in cowboy matches, but it makes a great practice target you can shoot again and again.

The company makes hanging and silhouette targets that are great for precision shooting and close-quarters practice.
