Set Your Sights on Range and Shooting Targets

When you want to improve your shooting skills, shooting targets at the range can be helpful since repetition and practice are key to success in this field. On eBay, you will find numerous types of range and shooting targets. Some of these targets will be new, and many affordable gun targets will be used.

Are there targets specifically designed for hunting?

There are some targets designed with hunters in mind. In general, they consist of life-sized targets, often with a particular animal's silhouette cut out or a picture of the animal featured prominently. This helps people get a better sense of the size of an animal and how they can target animals from certain distances. You can even get a 3-D target to make things more realistic. There are many types of animals featured on targets, including:

  • Squirrel
  • Deer
  • Turkey
  • Pheasant
  • Boar
What type of steel shooting targets are available on eBay?

You may want to hear that satisfying "clang" when you hit your target. In this case, consider getting durable steel shooting targets. This sound provides instant feedback, and many steel targets can last for a long time. Shooting targets made out of steel fall in the following styles:

  • Gong: Typically, these are meant to be hung from either one or two mounting ears. They come as narrow as 1 inch and can be several feet wide. See the manufacturer site for details. You may find sets of targets on eBay with gongs of various sizes.
  • Bullseye: Bullseyes have targets within targets. If you hit the outer target, there will be a slightly different sound than if you hit the inner target as the inner piece is a separate gong. Sometimes, the center gong will open or fold back when hit.
  • Silhouette: These steel targets will have the silhouette of a person, helping with aim in certain situations.
  • Bowling pin: These are designed to look like bowling pins. They can either be hung like gongs or placed on the ground as a knock-over target.
What other types of targets are there?

Some of the other types you'll see on eBay are:

  • Paper: These are cheap shooting range targets that you can keep to show a record of your performance.
  • Stakes: With a stake, you can place it anywhere it's safe to fire. Often, the stake is made out of heavy gauge steel, so it can be used in varied terrain.
  • Auto-reset: When you shoot one of these, it will fall backwards. It will slowly reset as you reload, usually within a few seconds.
