Airgun Challenge Target by Tom's Targets

If standard targets are getting a bit too easy, this is where things start to get humbling.
Based on the classic KYL (Know Your Limits) format, this version swaps static paddles for swinging gongs, giving you clear visual feedback and just enough movement to keep things interesting. It’s also a more cost-effective way of getting into KYL-style shooting without going full competition setup.
 
Know Your Limits… Literally
The idea is simple. Start big, work your way down, and stop before your ego takes a hit.
Largest gong: 25mm
Smallest gong: 3mm (yes, smaller than a .177 pellet head…)
7 total target sizes
Miss one, and that’s your run over. Suddenly that “easy shot” doesn’t feel so easy.
 
Swinging Gongs = No Guesswork
Unlike fixed plates, the swinging paddles:
Give clear visual confirmation on impact
Add a slight movement challenge
Make it far more engaging than punching paper
You’ll know exactly when you’ve hit… and more importantly, when you haven’t.
 
Built for Real Use
Made from 3mm mild steel, it’s designed specifically for sub-12 ft/lb airguns. Tough enough for regular use, without being overbuilt for something it doesn’t need to be.
Just don’t expect it to stay pristine forever.
 
Built for Use, Not for Show
Let’s not pretend it’s made of anything fancy. This is mild steel, not stainless.
That means:
It's affordable
It’s tough enough for sub-12 ft/lb use
It will surface rust if left untreated
Best move? Give it a quick coat of paint when you get it. Takes 5 minutes and saves you looking at something that resembles a shipwreck in a month if you leave it outside in the rain

Final Thoughts
This is one of those targets that looks simple… right up until you try to clear it.
 
Great for improving consistency, even better for keeping you honest. And yes, that 3mm target will annoy you more than you’d like to admit
