gamo moving targets

Hi fellas just wanting some information on the gamo moving target setup , has anyone got one and are they any good ?
Do you mean the Rat and/or Squirrel knock-down targets? Yes they are fine, I have 4 of them and their only fault is that the reset string needs a fishing swivel fitter where the cord meets the target, otherwise the cord tangles like all heck when you wind it up at the end of the day.
If you mean the moving Deer target, yes, we have one in the shop and sometimes we get it out and set it up on the counter. It's a great gadget, just zooms backwars and forwards at either one of three user selectable speeds or a "random" setting that will really test you out!
The design is to simulate a moving Deer at a specific distance as it moves between trees. The idea was that it would be used to practice shooting to get ready for the US Deer season but I cannot see that there would be all that much diference between Deer in the US and pigs out on the plains of NSW as they both move like bats out of hell when disturbed.
Anyway, it's a fun gadget, runs on either 4 or 6 "C" cells and will withstand air rifle pellets provided you follow the instructions. Total track length is about 1.8M but as the track comes in about 300mm modules, that can be shortened if needed.
I should buy the thing and use it for rapid-fire air pistol, now that would be FUN!
