Anyone got one of these?

The idea obviously is that it flips over with each hit and a new target is facing you.

Fine idea, I can't help but think that the targets would end up facing sidewards or landing funny or whatever though so you lose your target half the time?

This exact ones a max-target brand one, but I'm sure there are others that are much the same.

Anyone used one? How'd it go?

They spider backwards - go a little left, right, left, right and so on so that a target is always facing you.

You might get a funny landing on rough ground or something once in a while, but I think they're all right.

If you're shooting .22 you may even find these just rock back and forth depending on your distance.

Asking the obvious here maybe, but what's wrong with hanging ones that just swing back?

The idea of these ones is they walk backwards as you shoot them so the range is get further/more challenging the more you shoot and hit.
