Another cool feature of this kit is you can still use it as a cardboard target swinger without any changes!  To make this a “lifetime product”, we chose to use an industrial grade pillow block with greaseable bearings. This will give the target an incredibly long life, and an incredibly long swing time! Grease the bearing a couple times a year and it should last indefinitely.

The moving force on the Swinger Target is a 25 pound counter weight. The position of the counter weight is adjustable to allow you to change the target response. It won’t be an incredible difference, but it will be noticeable and any variance increases challenge. The shooter starts the movement by shooting the included HEXALLOY 550 HEXPlate trigger plate activator.

This video shows the activator plate being shot with a shotgun.

Please note, the Swinger Target now comes with one HEXALLOY 550 HEXPlate activator plate as shown. You must buy your own 1″X2″ inch wood furring strips from the local hardware store to complete the target and have a surface to staple your cardboard targets to as shown in the picture.

Most people will use an activator plate or another popper to pull the post that holds the target up to the side.  When you knock out the activator plate or the cord is pulled this guy gets going side to side fast…real fast with the whole thing swinging left to right while you try to hit the five 8-inch HEXALLOY 550 target plates!!

Order it to upgrade your Whirly-Gig® or order the Death Star Kit and a Whirly-Gig® (sold separately) and take your training and fun to a whole new level!!

You supply the wood, we supply the steel.  4″X4″ for the four legs, 4″X6″ for the cross beam.  MGM Whirly-Gig® sold separately.

Please note, the Death Star Kit uses the Whirly-Gig® target, which has been updated to the new ultra sweet Hexagon target plates, new pictures forthcoming soon…

You can use Double Spinner Target in a variety of ways in matches or practices.  One option is to have your shooter rotate both targets simultaneously. Another option is in a “man vs. man competition” to see who can get the target to rotate up and over first.  Something else fun we’ve done in the past which is a lot of fun, is to have your competitors shoot one with a pistol and one with a shotgun.  Let your imagination run rampant in creating challenging stages for your matches.

This target has an 8” target face and a 10” target face both constructed of HEXALLOY 550 that must be struck multiple times to get the target to rotate up and over.  With this target you face that challenge twice.

The standard Spinner product page has a number of videos on it covering pistol, rifle and shotgun.  Below is a sample of what you will find and here is a link on how to shoot it using a more advanced method.

The BC-C Zone® target is one of our most popular training targets and is widely used with LE and CQB military units around the world. If you’re doing pistol or longer range rifle target it works great there as well.

Made of the same great 550 Brinell steel that we use on almost EVERYTHING else we make, the Double Lolli Popper® w/BC-C Zone® and AR Target Shaft Combo is designed specifically as a close range rifle target. The BC-C Zone® is the same size as an IPSC target without the D zone. The target sets at a 30 degree angle so it can be engaged closer without a significant amount of frag returning to the shooter. The target can be shot at 15 yards or even closer.  When used at close range, pitting of the steel from rifle rounds is expected.

After every shot, the thin steel shaft allows the target to move (assuming that the marksman hit the target). In a close range application of repeated hits on the target begin to move side to side. Usual movement will be 6-10″, depending on range, caliber of bullet, etc. Plenty of motion so the shooter needs to work for the hits.

Below is a video of Travis engaging the BC-C Zone® target with a full auto .223. Please keep in mind that this is a demo to show the incredible durability of MGM targets and not a recommended distance for rifle fire.

We think it’s a pretty simple concept but you’d be surprised.  We’ve seen this target eat some peoples lunch.  We linked a couple of videos below that will really help you master this little target.

The hardened HEXALLOY 550 targets mount to a 3/8″ steel bracket and rotate on a lubrication zerk fitted machined hub and shaft. The focus you’ll need to get this target spun is what makes it such a great tool. You have to hit the target every time AND you have to hit it at the RIGHT time. And if you only shoot the bottom target it takes forever to get the full rotation.

Great for pistol, but it is just as much fun with bird shot, OO Buck, or your rifle. With a .223, a 30 round mag, and 100 yards, you’ve got your work cut out for you, guaranteed. Challenge your long range rifle skills with this target at 300+ yards. Great for training all levels of shooters – beginners to elite LE, military or competitive shooters. This one gets it done!

Once you’ve got this one all dialed in and are crushing it, check out our Double Spinner for even more good fun!!  Another fun thing to do is shoot it with a .22.  Better bring your A game!  Here’s proof it can be done!!

We have some centerfire Spinner videos on our Spinner product page.  The engagement concepts are the same with this target.  You will see this video and others on the centerfire Spinner page.

When one of the 3/16” AR400 HexPlates are hit, it creates an out of balance condition that causes the target holder assembly to spin. The direction of spin can change depending on where the next hit target comes from. Creative planning can increase the challenge. One idea is to put a no-shoot target low and centered to guarantee the first hit will create an unbalanced condition.  Here’s a video of a 22 Rimfire Whirly-Gig® target being shot with a .22 caliber long rifle, pretty darn well!!

If you’ve got this one mastered and want to try the centerfire version, you can find it here.
