Dueling Trees, self-healing targets?

[steve1419]

My team is looking to purchase some reactive targets for our handgun range (i.e. dueling trees, spinners, etc.) Could anyone advise a good, cost effective place to buy these online? We would be using .40, regular and frangible.

Also, does anyone have any experience with the self healing, rubber type reactive targets? We are interested in buying the sniper cube and balls you see everywhere, but many companies make spinner and knockdown variants like bowling pins. Any experiences good or bad with these?

I've used a number of the self-healing targets and they work quite well. Takes several thousand rounds of hits before they need replacement. I usually get mine from two sources:

Newbold Targets
Action Targets

Tac team for our PD. I did like the look of the newbold targets. Also saw some good stuff on metaltargets.com

Bigdogsteel looks great but that is a little more than we were looking to spend. Cheaper stuff that we can improvise with usually works better.

I have the Big Gong self healing target and it sucks. It barely moves when you shoot it. We were using 223 and 308 at 400/5oo yards.
