Sniper Training Cube & Prairie Dog Target
by SniperWorld


The Sniper Training cubes was kindly sent to us for testing by Just Shoot Me Products. The idea behind the sniper cube is that it's virtually indestructible and when it's shot it bounces to new location. This makes the shooting more fun and challenging as the with each shot the cube moves to different location at a different distance. In our experience for this idea to work the cube requires a relatively flat shooting range with not too much vegetation.

The Sniper Training Cube

When first handling the cubes they seemed too hard to whit stand shooting without cracking or breaking but we were soon proved wrong. We put about 50 shots of .308 through the blue cube and the result was a only collection of small black marks on the surface. Only the shots that had hit the very edge of the cube had managed to make a small mark on the cube.

The orange cube was given a harsher treatment. It was shot with .223, 7.62x39, .308, and 9mm. The shot count was in the hundreds. Again no real damage was done to the cube, only the amount of the black "entry wounds" was higher. When shooting the cube with .223 and 7.62x39 (AR-15 & AK) the cube seemed to be too heavy and did not move very much. Of course the 9mm gave the same results. When shot with .308 the cube moved as promised.

The Prairie Dog

Along with the cube we also received a Prairie Dog made of the same material as the cube. The varmint measures 7 by 3 and weighs 1.2lbs. The varmint was actually more rewarding to shoot as it was lighter and it bounced wildly when shot right. Like the cube, the varmint proved also durable and we were only able to produce some minor scars on it. The Prairie dogs we received had flat back side, but the current versions sold are full 3d.

The cube and the varmint proved to be very popular among the people at the range. In fact, due to popular demand we actually had to leave one of the cubes and the varmint behind when we left the range. We are expecting to have the orange cube back soon to able to take pictures of it's current condition.

UPDATE*

We got the orange cube back. We haven't got and accurate round count of how much it has been shot, but judging from the marks on it the shot count is in the hundreds. So far it has held up very well.

pros
+ virtually indestructible
+ works as promised
+ safe to shoot

We were forced to give the product 5 stars. The cube did everything it was promised to do and it was darn fun too.

The Charles Daly Mini-Mauser rifles have recently become available. Folsland tried out this left handed one with a Leupold VX-II Ultralight 3-9X variable in Leupold rings on Warne bases. The ballistic prairie dog from Just Shoot Me Products absorbed several rounds of .223s at close range with only tiny black spots to mark their entry.

Ballistic Polymer Decelerator vs LAV 25mm Cannon

JSMP BPD (Ballistic Polymer Decelerator) passes LAV 25 mm cannon test at Camp Lejeune with outstanding results. USMC amazed at velocity reduction of projectile with limited BPD damage making training range safer while reducing target replacement down time.

Background

I'm back with my second review. This time we were able to test the ballistic polymer prairie dog. The prairie dog itself is about 7 inches tall weighing a little over one pound. It's made out of the same material as the ballistic sniper cube which we tested the same day, and this little dog is still suppose to take any caliber, any projectile from any distance. I do have to start off with saying that the detail in this prairie dog is very nice. It looks like it has fur with detailed eyes, ears, face, and a 3 1/2 inch tail. So, off we go.

Background

The Sniper Training Cube is a 4" x 4" x 4" solid block of Ballistic Polymer manufactured by Ballistic Technologies. It's said that they can take any caliber from a .17HMR to a .50BMG at point blank range. A rough estimate would say that it's about 3 pounds. It's also suppose to react violently and unpredictable after being hit giving you the effect of having to shoot it at different angles, different and changing yardages, and under different circumstances. We found this out after shooting it at 180 meters and it dipped down into a small pit where we overshot it. (As you will see in one of our videos) So without further ado, lets get started.
