What is the minimum safe distance for this target?

"Minimum recommended safe shooting distance is 25yards" The tag that comes in the box reads the above. Hope this helps.

Well..."safe" is a relative word. Depends how brave you are! The directions do say 25 yards -- which I'm sure is "legally safe." However, if you can hit a 4 inch target with a pistol at 75 feet...you probably don't need the practice anyway!

Ive been shooting at it as close as 10 yards. Haven't had a single ricochet, most of the lead is sitting in the dirt right in front of the paddles

My best guess is about 100 feet with good accuracy. The BB will travel pretty far, but believe it loses velocity after about 100 feet.

I'd recommend 5 to 6 feet. If you're too close, you'll have to move your eyes constantly.

No, unless u want to. The bottom target is about 6 inches off the ground when its placed in the ground. We had it placed at 50 yards next to a regular silloute and it was a nice change of target.

It would only give you the distance from the device itself to the target, or direct line of sight distance. It doesn't calculate "drop" from a higher vantage point.

It will not make a measurement if the DISTANCE from you to the target is less than 33 feet. But there's no limitation to how high (or low) above (or below) your eye the target can be. And given that, HEIGHT measurements are only accurate to about a foot or two when near the target and maybe a few feet when far away -- so you'll have to decide whether this is accurate enough for you.

2nd answer. If you mean the closest distance you're able to focus at? I can only guess at about 15 to 20 feet. If you mean the closest distance you can calculate by using the mildot system I would again guess as close as you can get a clear focused picture. Mine gives me a very clear picture fifty yards and out but I could not honestly tell you the minimum useful distance.KT

Our son, 12 yrs old, stands about 15 feet away from a foam target... but it can definitely go farther, depends on the stregnth of the child. Hope this helps!?

The maximal distance is given as 300ft/100m. But I strongly recommend to stay within a distance of 50m, since you will hardly be able to see the direction you are flying.

The larger the object, the greater the detection distance, however dont go beyond 200 feet to limit errors. For smaller objects like a baseball or cricket ball, you should not go beyond 60 feet.

You have about 25-30 feet of good contact before the velocity drops off low enough to have the rounds bounce off the target, especially if the target is padded (by fur).

I read that other reviewers said it could be placed 30 to 40 feet away. I have not tried that yet.

I mounted this on a shotgun that is for home security, therefore accuracy at more than 25 feet or so isn't needed. It can be adjusted so depending on your application, it may need to be adjusted for height or windage.

James...think of it as a cone emitting from the barrel of the temp. gun....the farther away your target is the wider the cone gets...thus the larger area that the temp is taken. If you are taking the temp of a wall 10 feet away, no problem because the wall will probably all be the same temp...however if you were taking the temp. of a small area on that wall...you would want to move closer to get an accurate reading...the cone to distance ratio is 12:1 if that is a help to you. A target 8 feet away will measure temp. from a circle of about 12 inches...and I have found the target distance to read area stays consistent throughout. Hope this helps... Paul

The trap works perfectly as designed. If your dealing with a beginner learning to shoot a twenty two pistol or rifle, 7 yards would be good. A more experienced shooter, depending on skill level, might place it 25-50 yards away.

It will get you within about 20 feet at best. Better mark the spot with something discrete.

Your most likely too far away from your subject. You need to be within about 1 inch.
