Ground Strike Prairie Dog Moving Target

The Birchwood Casey Ground Strike™ Hanging Prairie Chuck Reactive Target is a precision-engineered, dynamic shooting target specifically designed for hunters, marksmen, and reloaders seeking to enhance their ballistic skills with metallic and semi-metallic ammunition. This innovative reactive target delivers immediate visual and kinetic feedback by swinging upon impact, simulating real-world hunting scenarios and providing an advanced challenge for shooters of all proficiency levels.

Constructed from high-grade, impact-resistant steel alloys, the Ground Strike™ Hanging Prairie Chuck withstands repeated strikes from calibers starting at .22 and extending to larger rifle and handgun rounds. Its robust design ensures longevity and consistent performance, making it an indispensable tool for both tactical training and recreational shooting. The target’s pendulum motion upon bullet contact demands precise shot placement and rapid follow-up shots, effectively sharpening marksmanship and reload ballistic tuning.

Key Technical Features:

• Reactive Swing Mechanism: The Prairie Chuck target pivots smoothly on a durable hanging bracket, providing immediate movement feedback that challenges shooters to adjust for dynamic target tracking and shot correction.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from hardened steel with a specially treated surface finish to resist pitting and deformation from high-velocity projectiles, ensuring extended service life under rigorous shooting conditions.
• Caliber Versatility: Optimized for use with metallic and semi-metallic ammunition, compatible with calibers from .22 LR up to high-powered rifle cartridges, ideal for long-range precision shooting beyond 30 yards (approximately 27 meters).
• Compact and Portable Design: Lightweight yet sturdy, the target is easily transportable and quick to deploy in various shooting environments, including outdoor ranges, hunting stands, and tactical training courses.

Operational Guidelines for Optimal Performance:

1. Setup: Securely hang the Prairie Chuck target from a stable support structure capable of withstanding repeated impacts and swinging motion without compromising safety.
2. Safety Distance: Maintain a minimum shooting distance of 30 yards (27 meters) or greater to ensure bullet velocity is appropriate for target response and to uphold range safety protocols.
3. Engagement: Aim carefully and fire using your preferred metallic or semi-metallic ammunition. Observe the target’s reactive swing to assess shot placement accuracy and adjust your ballistic load or sighting accordingly.
4. Maintenance: After shooting sessions, inspect the target for surface wear or deformation. Clean residue and store in a dry, secure location to preserve the integrity of the steel and prolong target lifespan.

Utilizing the Birchwood Casey Ground Strike™ Hanging Prairie Chuck Reactive Target elevates your shooting regimen by integrating realistic target movement and durable construction, essential for honing precision, reload ballistics, and tactical shooting skills in a controlled, repeatable environment.
