   After a fellow range-goer let us use his metal target, we wanted that satisfying TING to take with us as well. We’ve tried a few other metal targets and gongs, some have held up better than others, but so far this one has been great. We have shot 9mm and .40 on it so far. The small yellow target will sometimes get stuck behind the head, but if you shoot the main target, it usually goes to one side again. I think my only complaint is that it’s awkward and heavy, which if you’re loading it in a truck to take to the range and carrying it back and forth like we are, can get cumbersome, but that’s just the nature of the beast. We’ve been using it for a few months now and so far it’s held up well. Not too challenging to put together, but you will need some basic tools.

   Great value. Made a day in the desert that much more fun plinking. Even took 7.62×39 at distance with minimal denting. Love this kit.

   Updated – sounds like my swinger target was defective. Customer support did eventually respond to my email and refunded the purchase and is investigating what was wrong with my swinger. They’ve been good to work with, although it took a little bit of back and forth to explain the problem well. Damaged from 556 at 100 yards – worked well for pistol and rimfire, but I took it out to distance and was using 556 and got a lot of problems. Large craters to the edge of the swinger, and small craters on the face. Can’t get customer support to answer after a week if trying. I’ll update my review if anything changes. Really a shame, every thing else was great, good mounting hardware, steel seemed great, swinging target worked well, just didn’t hold up. I had planned to buy several more but won’t now. This was just with regular 556 fmj, not steel core/green tip ammo. Design, size, and ease of use was great. Build quality and durability was terrible.

   Absolutely love the KNINE OUTDOORS Target Stand System! The 12×20 inch AR500 steel plate is tough as nails and holds up to repeated hits without a dent. The hostage-style reactive paddle adds a fun challenge and instant feedback, making it perfect for improving precision and speed. Setup was quick and easy, and the stand is rock-solid once in place—no wobble or tipping. I’ve used it with both rifle and pistol, and it performs flawlessly every time. If you’re serious about training or just love shooting steel, this system is a must-have. Highly recommended!

   Target base is warped brand new. Have to use shims of wood or rocks to get it somewhat level so it won’t tip over. Already looking for new base after first use the Ar500 steel appears to be good. Target isn’t the easiest to transport.

   For the money its a great training target. The only weakness is the base is too narrow and has no weight to it. Buy it for the target, but purchase a different base.

   Bought this after seeing another person at the range with this item. Only used it once, worked as intended. The directions indicate to use at 100 yards for .223 but the range we were at did not accommodate 100 yards. The range was 50 yards but we could not put the target all the way to the 50 yard distance either due to mud. See photos, was used at 30 yards. This target took over 100 rounds of .223 and 100 of 22 caliber as well. The small swinging target held up well also. There was 1 point where it was in the middle position and due to a hit on the larger target it popped out, but other than that it was perfect. I will repaint it for the next trip to the range. So far so good!

   Good value. Works as it should and no issues so far. It’s holding up just fine.
