steve_b_wales Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 (edited) I saw these https://range-right.co.uk/collections/whats-popular/products/sniper-25l-exploding-target advertised on a Face Book page via a company called Range Right (Trade only) and wanted some of these targets, which appear to me much better than the Firebird brand. Sadly, I cannot get them at any of my local RFD's, and wondered if anyone on here knows of anyone selling them. UPDATE: I've just found them via a company called Vector Air. Price is reasonable too.

They put me in touch with a 'local' (80 mile round trip) RFD who was 'supposed' to be selling them. When I phoned the shop, they had never heard of them, let alone sell them! I contacted a company named Vector Air who had them in stock and a pack is being delivered later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyH Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 They look the same or similar to firebird exploding targets. The clay (orange ones) still go off when shot with an air rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clay (orange ones) still go off when shot with an air rifle I received them yesterday, and they are very small, about the same size as a 10p piece. A little bit disappointed and I only hope that they give off a better report that the Firebird ones.

I've used these in the past and I agree that they are good. The ones I purchased are 25mm diameter and are very thin! I just hope they are as loud as advertised, which to be honest, I have my doubts. To be fair to the company who sold these to me (Vector Air) the size is right, but according to Range Right (Trade only) who advertise them, it states 45mm diameter. As mentioned, I haven't tried one yet. Edited October 19 by steve_b_wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjmet Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 Premium targets do a few different sized ones. The sniper are smaller to make it more challenging. The flare are bigger. You can buy these direct from premium targets if you have trouble getting them elsewhere. https://www.shootingrangenearme.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
