Can I shoot the Prairie Dog Target with Rifle Calibers?

Question:

Can I shoot the Prairie Dog Target with high-powered rifle calibers such as .223, 243, 270 etc?

Answer:

Yes, both the 3D Prairie Dog Target and the Swinging P-Dog Ground Unit can be shot with all centerfire rifle calibers including the 50 BMG. These targets can handle any bullet style, Ballistic Tips, Grand Slams, Hollow Points, etc. The more destructive the bullet is advertised to be the more these Dogs eat! So make sure you feed them plenty!

Interchangeable Reactive Targets

H-Bar Talk: Part 2

Our H-Bar Target Stand design lets you easily change the reactive targets by removing the hare-pin clip from the cross rod and removing the rod from the uprights. The targets can then slide easily off and on of the cross rod. This would, for example, allow a shooter to conveniently switch from shooting our CP-009 Double Spinning Target with their handgun to rifle practice using one of our CP-010 Swinging Prairie Dog Targets, or any of our other component targets.

No other reactive target stand offers this flexibility. All other brands of reactive target units are manufactured with the target fixed in place by welding or forging. This can be costly to you in the long run. If you shoot pistols, rifles and shotguns it can mean purchasing 3 different target units rated for the appropriate caliber or weapon. With other brands, if a missed shot damages the target unit, it may be necessary to replace the ENTIRE unit because replacement parts are not offered. Most of all it limits the fun you can have. Visit our Component Targets category to see how you can build an H-Bar Unit to fit your target needs.

I will discuss the H-Bar Target Stand's Paper Target Add-on in part three of this series.

Civil War Days at Conner Prairie

Saturday was a beautiful day in Indiana, sunny and about 65 degrees, with a little wind now and then. It was a good day to visit the Conner Prairie Pioneer Museum and check out the annual Civil War Days event. My grandchildren, Shelbi and Jaxon McKinley, who are history buffs, had a great time taking in the battle, cheering on the White River baseball team to victory over the Indianapolis team in an 1860's style game, discussing politics with President Lincoln, visiting the vendors and the food court. The turkey legs, biscuits and root beer made for a refreshing lunch.
