USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The Grizzly Reactive Auto Reset Target 220 is one of those rare products that not only does what it claims, but impresses you from the minute you take it out of the box.
The silhouette shaped target is laser cut from heavy-duty, galvanized 3/8 inch thick AR500 steel.
This thing should be nicknamed “the beast” or “the tank” because everything about it suggests massive over-engineering.
The 25 pound target is assembled with enormous bolts and the rugged stainless steel spring will surely keep it operating for a lifetime of shooting. The unit’s faceplate is 14″ high and 4″ wide at its widest part of the circle. The entire target is 23″ long, 23″ high, and 18″ wide.
AR500 steel is typically used in the manufacture of severe duty mining equipment and has a proven track record of excellent abrasion resistance and the ability to withstand repeated high impact stresses. It is an excellent choice for a target being subjected to high volumes of rifle fire.

Testing the 220 proved somewhat difficult. Living in an urban area, I am dependent on a small number of nearby public shooting ranges for my shooting fun. Unfortunately, none of them were keen on allowing a steel target to be used at their 100 yard rifle ranges for fear of ricochets. A privately owned 600 yard highpower rifle range also turned us away.
My initial reaction to being turned down was that the rangemasters were being overly cautious. However, several conversations and a bit of research revealed that ricochets can occur and caution must be used when employing steel targets, especially when using high velocity rifle bullets.
Some simple precautions can be taken to avoid any incidents…
