do you just set this on the ground or set it on top of something for target practice? it seems like it would be small and low. any suggestions?

setting this on top of a stump or small ladder 2-3 feet from the ground is the way we use it. It is very low should you set this on the ground. But, we are finding the target very useful and enjoyable. A smart use of your money!

Hi Divinemercymama, it's plenty big for a target. Yes, you can set it on something, or put it on the ground, or even propped up against a tree. It's meant for a smaller bow, which typically means shorter range...but even so, it works well for the price. It has helped our aim tremendously.

We hang ours on a stack of hay bales. You could set it on the ground but yes it would be low.

It is pretty small. We sat it on the ground. But its for my 14 yr old son. I have a bigger target behind it in case he misses. 8 is a nice target. It works great.

The further away the better (10ft max due to cable length). You will see both the device and the target easier. If you have a scope on your gun, turn it down to the least magnification. Do not shoot if you can not see your gun sights, your chrony and the target. They must line up. Take your time and good luck.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface.Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

Yes of course, however the target will be shorter than you. One way to address this issue would be to place the base of the Reflex Bag on a sturdy, slightly elevated surface such as a small table or footstool. Please make sure the base of the Reflex Bag is stable and stays in place on the elevated surface when you strike.

Its much better if you hammer it into the ground. However, you can shoot a fair amount of rounds before it falls over if the ground is too hard. Also, the "stakes" are pretty round so if the ground is solid they wont go in easily.

This target does not stand up by itself. It has to be pushed into the ground.

I think it depends on how little the people are that are shooting on it. I would say you want it ATLEAST 3-4 feet below the ceiling if you're an adult. Maybe you can go 1.5-2 ft from the ceiling if its a smaller child playing on it.

I have mine in the corner and I have to see, it sounds GREAT. it is down firing, but it stands about 3 inchs off the ground. They may say not to put it there, but with mine there, but it sound good in my corner. For the price nothing comes close to it

After its mounted, fire the weapon at the target and use the crosshair adjustments to bring the sights to where the gun is firing. It took me about 5 to 10 shots at 30 yds to get it dialed in. So really your just moving the sights to where the gun is firing. Also it will depend on the max range that you want to be accurate at. I only have my ar set for 150 ft but, with that scope my shots are on top of each other every time.

Yes, it comes with a small one which should work satisfactorily on top of a shooting bench or on the ground when shooting prone.

dangling like a bat? it should be fine. it's hard to explain but, the partial ball joint/spin/slot arrangement allows you to cover most angles. the sensor spotlights I have used recently have a similar arrangement. there are cables running through there so it's probably best to get it approximately aligned before mounting the base and then you can tweak it from there. my cameras point mostly away from the base but you can set it up to go ~90 degrees from the surface going sideways or up and down. you just have to spin the slot first if you are doing steeper angles. take a little care with the lock screw though. if you notch the ball joint you will end up with some play in that spot. dangling like a bat? it should be fine. it's hard to explain but, the partial ball joint/spin/slot arrangement allows you to cover most angles. the sensor spotlights I have used recently have a similar arrangement. there are cables running through there so it's probably best to get it approximately aligned before mounting the base and then you can tweak it from there. my cameras point mostly away from the base but you can set it up to go ~90 degrees from the surface going sideways or up and down. you just have to spin the slot first if you are doing steeper angles. take a little care with... » Read More dangling like a bat? it should be fine. it's hard to explain but, the partial ball joint/spin/slot arrangement allows you to cover most angles. the sensor spotlights I have used recently have a similar arrangement. there are cables running through there so it's probably best to get it approximately aligned before mounting the base and then you can tweak it from there. my cameras point mostly away from the base but you can set it up to go ~90 degrees from the surface going sideways or up and down. you just have to spin the slot first if you are doing steeper angles. take a little care with the lock screw though. if you notch the ball joint you will end up with some play in that spot. « Show Less

I attach mine at the very top of the wall and run fleece bridges or stick perches a little underneath as my guys really enjoy climbing and jumping in. If you are concerned you can start it at the bottom, that way if they are not used to this type of wheel and happen to get pl overly excited and fall out, they have a place to land nearby :)

If I were you, I would put a good red dot on it. A cheap scope comes with the package. Hope this helps.

Just to add to the previous answer by Smile'in Jack, when practicing during the day. As the manual says, the object you practice focusing on is going to be upside down when you view it through the scope. Also, you must be able to focus on an object that is several hundred yards away, with no obstructions. This is when you should align the red laser finder. Without the finder aligned, you'll never be able to find an object in the sky. Double check that the eyepiece is inserted properly & the screws tightened. Good luck! This scope has worked great for me. I love it's portability.

A lot to practice. It's small but if you're not used to flying them things can get a little scary. I had it fly at my head and make some close calls a couple times. You can do it in doors though.. don't need a huge open space.

I shoot from a grass area 99% of the time - the Trius has rubber stoppers on the feet for hard pavement. I just pull the rubber covers off, and and that reveals spiked tips that stick right into the ground. Works great!

Unfortunately, the only way to display your shots is to activate the sensor in the lower left hand corner of the target. What I suggest to my students is that they take5 shots at the main target, then shoot at the sensor until they hit it. If it takes more that 3 shot to hit the sensor, you're shooting from too far away for your skill level and should move closer.
