Birchwood Casey Bull's-Eye Reactive Targets - Highly Visible Instant Feedback Self-Adhesive Shooting Targets

When I started reading the reviews I realized that most people were reviewing these as regular targets and apparently had never even shot reactive ones before. So many people were commenting on the fact they splatter when hit, as if they weren’t expecting that. All reactive targets do this, so I would like to compare these against the other reactive targets because that’s really what you wanna know when you buy these. The two biggest points are near the bottom so if you don’t want to bother reading the whole review here they are: These targets resist scratching significantly more than any others reactive target I have tried and they have significantly less glare because of the high matte finish. That’s enough right there for me to choose them over any other target.The first thing is the printing these just seems to be a much higher quality, The lines and letters are extremely sharp. They just simply look better than most of the other splatter targets and I am pretty much used them all. Of course these are small, so get a ruler and spec out a 6” circle so you know what you’re getting. Some people seem surprised at how small they are but these are properly advertised at their actual size.Note that the circle itself, the target that you actually peel off and stick is 6 inches in diameter and not the paper. Some of the other targets fudge the size by giving you the size of the paper backing rather than the actual decal. This is a 6 inch diameter target with a half inch bull’s-eye in the middle.Another thing I like is that the higher scoring rings are more narrow than the lower scoring rings. Most splatter targets have equidistant rings and that’s not how most competition targets are.While the splatters are smaller than on a lot of other targets, the are still easily seen. The pattern of the splatter is tighter and easier to patch over with the dot’s. Some other targets require more than one patch to cover up a bullet hole. Maybe it’s the inks or the contrast but it’s still quite easy to see your hit.So my three biggest problems with splatter targets are one) they’re easily scratched, two) they tend to be glossier and therefore will sometimes throw a lot of glare at a well lit range, and 3) They can make a huge mess as the flecks of color end up coating the rest of the target. These targets do none of these. They are much more scratch resistant instead than any other targets I have used. Even rubbing a nylon brush over the outer ring didn’t scratch it where is it will totally peel off other targets. The finish is very flat matte, and so the glare is reduced significantly over other targets. And you seem to be a mess free. I’ve shot many of them and I don’t get the black specs all over the target board like I do with other targets.These are definitely going to be my first choice go to targets from now on. They’re small so if you want a bigger area you can stick a bunch of them together on a larger target or piece of cardboard.Personally I think you should always shoot at a distance that allows you to maintain about a 4 inch grouping, and if you cannot do that you need to move the target up until you can. And as you improve, move your targets back until your groups start to loosen up again. You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll will reliably shoot 4 inch groups at 25 and 30 yards with a handgun using this method. These targets are absolutely perfect for that.Sure there’s some cases where you still want a bigger target or the IPSC torso. You can buy those and use these stickers to highlight places on the larger targets. But in general I see the biggest improvement in my students when we maintain accuracy and vary the distance. Rather than maintaining the distance and shooting for an improvement in precision.They do make bigger targets in this brand but they’re a lot more expensive. These packs are a great value for your money as well as an extremely high-quality reactive target.The first picture shows how visible the target is even when it is a glaring indirect sunlight. This is such an improvement over the other brands of splatter targets. The last to show my other favorite splatter targets and you can see by comparing the size of the bullet hole, these are all 9 mm, that the splatters are bigger and may be a little bit messier. These targets are just a lot more consistent.

Great splatter targets at a great price!!! I prefer to get the 6 inch version which you get 60 of them for just over $15 they work great for working on accuracy especially at indoor ranges

Great targets for the range. Who doesn’t like splatter targets? The “healing stickers” work fairly well, although are a little time consuming to peel and stick. I always enjoy being able to see exactly where I hit like a highlighter in the longer distances at the range.

Very good for the tange

good

Good price for these targets

Nice spatter targets and I couldn't pass them up when they were on sale. Work VERY well at the range and show your hits quite visibly. The targets stuck very well to the original paper target I was using and did not peel away when hit.Yes I know I'm hitting low left ;-)

These work great, allowing you easy hit confirmation from a good distance away. Highly recommend.
