Hi all. First post on this board. I'm kind of new to firearms, but have a small collection of .22, .38s and 9mm. I do plan on getting a .40 and .45 one of these days.
Anyway, I have some questions regarding spinner and auto-reset targets (thinking about buying some for xmas gifts). Any help/tips will be appreciated.
1- Sports authority has these .22lr spinner targets. I like how they have varying sizes. I was wondering after you hit a spinner, how long does it take to get back into position before you can shoot again?
2- They also have Do-All auto-reset targets. The 9mm-30.06 target is $69.99 and the .38-.44 target is $23.97.
Can i safely shoot the .38-.44 target with a smaller caliber pistol, like a 9mm or even .22lr? There is over a $45 price difference between the two targets. I would think that the larger caliber target would cost more, but it doesnt.
3. What do they mean by "soft nose"? Is that some special type of ammo I need to shoot at these targets? Right now I just goto Wal-Mart and tell em the caliber I want and whatever they give me is what I shoot.
4- Can these targets take a good beating? Basically, I want something that will last.
5- And finally, is distance important for spinners and/or auto-reset targets? I have heard bad things about steel targets being dangerous at short distances.
TIA!
