They\u2019re durable and long-lasting, but more importantly, every impact rewards you with a very satisfying \u201c<em>ding!\u201d <\/em>of success. As wonderful as that sound may be, steel targets have plenty of downsides, too\u2014you can\u2019t shoot them too close without potentially eating some spall, you need to remain mindful of the risk of ricochets and you need to repaint them. Besides that, they\u2019re a costly initial investment and, depending on where you shoot, you may need to haul one or several of them between your setup and your truck. Steel is heavy, and that gets old real fast.<\/p>\n<p>Know what\u2019s not heavy? Polymer, and that\u2019s what Double Action Reactive Targets uses to make its products. Not just any polymer, however, but a self-sealing, color-changing reactive polymer.<\/p>\n<p>The company offers a 4-inch swinging gong, a 6-inch swinging gong, a 6-inch knockdown target kit and even a full-size silhouette. \u00a0All of these behave like steel targets when shot, minus the ding and the risk of anything coming back at you. The gongs and knockdown targets are also available without the color-changing feature for a few dollars less, but both styles are self-sealing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets.jpg\" alt=\"Double-Action-Reactive-Targets\" class=\"wp-image-292540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>As for caliber ratings, the company says it\u2019s tested them with pistol calibers up to .45 ACP and rifle calibers up to .308 Winchester without any issues, but only full metal jacket ammo should be used. Hollow points, wadcutters, flat nose bullets and any other projectile style that won\u2019t make a clean hole should be avoided to prevent damaging the targets.<\/p>\n<p>Double Action Reactive Target\u2019s literature describes the targets as being capable of lasting \u201chundreds of rounds,\u201d which isn\u2019t very specific, but it likely varies a great deal depending on what you\u2019re shooting them with and other factors.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette.jpg\" alt=\"Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette\" class=\"wp-image-292541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette.jpg\" alt=\"Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-292541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Double-Action-Reactive-Targets-Silhouette-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>That said, even if you shoot enough to need to replace one, it won\u2019t hurt your wallet too bad as prices start at just $16 per target.<\/p>\n<p>Steel targets still have their place, but just like what happened with pistol frames, it may be time to recognize the advantages of polymer targets too.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.da-targets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">da-targets.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>More On Shooting Targets:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-37\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 20px; border-radius: 10px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-271572\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-271572\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #333; text-align: center;\">Next Step: Get your FREE Printable Target Pack<\/h2>\n<p>Enhance your shooting precision with our 62 MOA Targets, perfect for rifles and handguns.
