Question, the metal or lead spinners that you use for targets. Does the pellet fly to the ground when hit, or can the ricochet upward?

I'm sure they could ricochet but I always find a pile under my spinners/sight-in targets.

I've had no problems with the Birchwood Casey Spinners:http://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey%C2%AE-Gallery-Airgun-Resetting/dp/B000S5W6G8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1256597184&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Or with the Gamo rocker trap:http://www.amazon.com/Gamo-621220354-GAMO-Rocker-Pellet/dp/B000H4PL3K/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5 (you need to keep the power down with this to keep from tearing up the trap part of it).

I have had problems with the Do-All Spinners:http://www.airgunsbbguns.com/Accu_Air_Airgun_Auto_Target_p/datss7177.htm (The paddles are light enough, they become concave with the impacts and then let the ricochet's begin!).

Hello Dave, I shoot ISSF ten meter air pistol, and most of my practice/training
is dry fire. The other portion is shootiing at a Quadrant target with a 3/4" center
spinner at ten meters. I checked with yellow forum members about the direction
the pellets took after a hit, I got the answer I was hoping for so I bought the
Quad spinner. Every pellet drops within 5"s of the target. It works great and is
very safe. Here's a link to the target, plus there are many other airgun targets
on the site.

The Quadrant target can be ordered with different size spinners and is intended as
a sight in tool; but that 3/4" spinner is a minimum 9.5 score size. if I could hit
that spinner 60 times in a row, it would place me in the finals at the nationals.
I do not keep track of my best scores; eliminating a psychological barrier to
match performance.

Thanks Guys for the info. This is what I love about this website. That quadrant target looks really great. I believe I have seen it before on Airguns of Arizona.

Actually, Dave, the answer is a little more complex than what you have gotten so far.

The ricochet potential of a pellet hitting a spinner depends on the relation between pellet energy and paddle weight. In the case of a pellet hitting the apertures between plates, the possibility of a pass-through either of the complete pellet or of debris, depends on top of the weight of the plates, on the quality of the manufacturing and the closeness of the fitting.

Tony G is absolutely right in his appreciation, but I feel not enough emphasis was placed on the 6 ft-lbs energy level he shoots at.

If you shoot at anything higher than 6 ft-lbs and you are concerned about where the pellet debris is going to fall, or about what happens when you hit the division between 2 or 3 plates, then you really need a much heavier and better constructed spinner. A heavier / larger paddle, better fit to the adjoining ones, will effectively halt the pellet and let the debris fall to the sides or down with much less chance of the pellet debris flying up and beyond the spinner's location.

If you want a REALLY GOOD spinner for a little more money than the "light plinker" version, get in contact with Dave Kasinsky at Metal Spinning Targets:

But again, this is ONLY in case you are shooting at energy levels above the 6 ft-lbs of Pentagon F guns.
