I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but when I saw this at a rare trip to Walmart, I had to get it. I'm glad I did. It worked like a charm. I used a Crosman 1377 to shoot at it outdoors and I wondered if it would be powerful enough to reset the target. It was. I used 8 pumps at first and then went down to 6 pumps. At 7 yards, it still reset.

It was a lot of fun and I had to take my time to actually hit those small circles. The reset needed a solid center hit to work, glancing blows only made noise. It was worth every penny in complete fun alone. I didn't take any outdoor photographs as it was only in the 20's still outside. I shot and went inside to get more pellets as I was having too much fun. I didn't want to stop, but it was cold.

That's great, Dave. We have several of the heavy duty shoot to reset versions and we love them. Lots of fun. We added orange stickers to the paddles for better visibility. They come painted yellow, though. Takes a fairly powerful airgun to reset them way out at 30 and 50yards, though.


These are the very types of targets used Field Trail and Hunter Field Trial airgun competition. Depending on the category, ranges go from 10 yards all the way out to 50 plus yards.

Field Trail was originally designed to simulate small game hunting with an airgun. Targets are set at unmarked distances over a course in the field, so you have to estimate distance (no rangefinders allowed) and given that wind is such a huge factor in air gun shooting, those long range targets can be very challenging. To score a hit, you must knockdown that yellow center paddle. Anything else is scored a miss. In that sense, it is similar to silhouette shooting.

The favorite caliber is 177, because there is less chance of hitting the edge of the paddle/body area with the smaller pellet and failing to knockdown the paddle.

Gotta try that! It DOES look like fun. I'll look for that one you got Dave next time I'm in Wally World.
Could be having lots of fun today, as it is 70 out there, but the wind is gusting really bad.

Does look like fun. I have a number of steel targets. I could buy a pellet gun or three and shoot them... They would ring, but not fall.

I’m going to look for them next time I’m at Wally World.

Today, in between snow squalls, I took out the 1322. It seemed to hit with much more authority and must have. Once the center failed to return no matter how many hits got to the reset circle. A shot of silicone took care of that. All reset hits returned the center each time.

I like the stock on your 1322. Wood?

Me too! I may upgrade, one day. I have the 1377 version.

Yes, the wood is maple. I got those for the 1322 and walnut for the 1377. I got them from a gentleman I found on the internet. He also offered laminated stocks. He passed away I believe. He stopped his production a year or two prior to his passing. His stocks are perfect for my hands.

Both stock sets were worth the investment. They take both guns to a different level for me.

Thanks Dave! Found the same one on Amazon. I'll have it tomorrow, ( Monday ). Looking forward to the plinkn'
