Cheap indoor target practice

[Sld1959]

Bought this during lockdown and have really enjoyed it ever since, really helps keep in tune on the cheap. Have seen a lot better and more expensive setups but this works well enough for me.

Cheapshot target 30 bucks, laser cartridge 20 bucks, have them for 357, 380 and 9mm now. So for 50 bucks its a lot of fun and challenging to boot. It is indeed challenging you have to hit the white dot to light target and its smaller than a dime. I put it at various locations for longer and shorter shots.

But one important thing, this, goes in another room, no mistakes are acceptable.

I picked up a Strikeman trainer back before Christmas for winter training.
I works very well.

I am also an advocate for laser training. It reinforces the skills we need except for perhaps recoil management and multiple shot scenarios (rapid fire). Certainly not a replacement but a supplement to live fire practice.

That Cheapshot target looks like fun. I'll have to check into those. I use paper targets and a phone app with the G-Sight ELMS laser cartridge system. I have several 9mm and .45 laser cartridges so the whole family can enjoy an evening at the basement laser range.

Some of my laser adventures are in this thread:

BassCliff's G-Sight Laser Practice Range

Hi, I'm not sure if I've ever shared this with you. I like practicing with m y G-Sight laser cartridge. The last time I practiced, my laser cartridge was getting lots of non-detected hits so I decided to install new batteries and the new back cap with a striker pad. For my hour and a half...

Is anyone up for a laser challenge?


Thank you for your indulgence,

I went a different way--CO2/BB replica guns. I have over a half-dozen of them now. My favorite is probably my Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911. Works/operates EXACTLY like a real one and the blowback action even generates recoil that's not TOO different from my Ciener .22LR 1911 conversion.
