Birchwood Casey Ground Strike Jack Target

As if going shooting on the range isn’t fun enough, Birchwood Casey has unveiled the the new Ground Strike Jack Target.

The target was designed to bounce around on the ground after it has been shot. This is a fun target to keep new shooters excited about shooting and is fun for the most experienced shooter. You can get immediate feedback if a successful shot has been made at long distances because the target will move.

Birchwood Casey says the target can be shot with all calibers and firearms. I don’t own a .50 cal to test this, but the target handles a .223 round nicely. The Jack is made from a durable plastic material. You can also interlock several Jack targets together for more shooting variety.

It’s recommended to only use full metal jacket ammunition with the Jack. This makes sense because any expanding bullet will decrease target life drastically. Also the distance the target is shot at and caliber size will affect the life of the target.

There are a few things to take into considerations to take into mind before you start shooting the Ground Strike Jack. First, Birchwood Casey recommends shooting this target at a minimum of 30 yards. Also don’t use a BB gun, pellet gun, soft air guns, or air rifles because of the risk of a ricochet.

Simply because you are shooting at a target on the ground, there is an increased risk of a ricochet. Just make sure to only use this target in a grass field or clean dirt. Try to avoid areas with gravel or debris.

At around $30 a piece these aren’t the cheapest things to shoot but will give you a new fun target to shoot next time you are on the range. For more info on the target, check out our video review below:
