Megalast Ball (Perfect bounce target)

Megalast Ball

Our big idea with the Megalast Ball is that it’s made in the USA with innovative, tough Megalastomer, our TPR, Thermo Plastic Rubber.


TOPICS: Hobbies; Outdoors
KEYWORDS: banglist; firearms; shooting; targets; targetshooting
I didn't like the $25 each for the orange bouncing targets that are sold for target practice. I spotted this at a feed supply store @ $10.99 less than half the price & more durable. I have 4 of them at a private range I use. They have endured 22 / 5.56 / 30-30 / 7.63 x 39 and have held up better than the orange ones the gun shops sell.

Go to a pet supply store and pick up a couple. Best targets I've found. They ought to make car bumpers out of this stuff.

I’m using something similar. It’s mounted on a heavy metal cup and it keeps itself upright after each shot. Just throw it out in the dirt and shoot. So far it’s been self healing too.

The large is 3.5’ in diameter. A good size for 25-40 yards.

Wouldn’t a three and a half foot target be good for a few more yards than that? :=)

Good idea, thanks for the tip. If a dog can’t chew it up it has to be tough.

I buy them at Academy Sports. I would think that any sporting goods store that sells pitching machines would have them. So far, have only used .22LR and 9mm on them and it hardly damages them at all. Made with some kind of polyurethane I think.

I found them on Amazon. Price was good, but sold in lots of 12.

Looks like Academy Sports is only in Tenn.

I’ll check next time I go into the city. Something bigger than what I’m using would be nice for the handguns.

Yes. I also have a set of those, but they’re a little pricey at $25 each. Seems like every related to shooting is expensive.
