Gamo Metallic Animal Silhouettes
Not everyone has access to an area to hunt. And from time to time, those of us who do have access find ourselves wondering what to do during the off season when the hunting season is closed.
Gamo has produced a series of animal silhouettes to liven up the down time some of us experience when we can't get out into the field. Also, these silhouettes will make your Field Trial practice more enjoyable as you can change what animal you wish to shoot at. (Note: This set is not interchangeable with the old squirrel target, but will interchange with the newer squirrel target that is available since March of 2008).
The advantage that this set of silhouettes has over other versions is that you can change the size of the kill zone. Once you've mastered hitting the largest killzone available, you can then reduce the size to sharpen your ability by using the bullseye reducer to go to the next smaller size. There are 4 reducers, so you can work on your marksmanship at 4 different levels of difficulty. These silhouettes are made to be used at the 25-yard mark or further out, and remember that lead pellets are the only suitable ammo for shooting at these targets. BB's are steel, and they will ricochet with undesired results, so keep safety in mind and use the appropriate ammo for this discipline.
If you've already bought one of the new squirrel targets, you can vary the animal shape by using one of the six others included in this item: pigeon, pig, turkey, rooster, rabbit, or ram. These targets are made of a solid metal alloy, and should provide hours of fun for young and old alike.
So if you have aspirations of competing in Field Trial Events, this set will allow you lots of practice time on different-sized targets. It will help you gauge range to the target, and keep you from getting in a rut by shooting at only one shape. The varying difficulty levels will keep you in shooting shape for your next pursuit.
