This is a fun little interactive target for .22 rimfire pinking. It was actually built much "beefier" then I expected, having purchased and used other .22 targets in the past. The spinners seem to be of good quality and fairly thick steel. That said, I would not, and have not shot this with anything but a .22 as it is definitely not made to hold up to center fire rounds.
I had some problems with the first spinner not "setting" because it was spinning around fast enough to "bump" the retaining bar out of the way. Once one spinner had "set" it would hold the bar by friction so the others rarely gave me any problem. However, the friend I was shooting with that day (who shot the target more then I did) did not have any of these problems. I suspect that prior targets of this type have taught me to "aim low" on the paddles to get enough power to spin the target completely, and this target may work better with a center shot.
Resets worked flawlessly and I never had a problem with it not resetting.
I wasn't using any really high velocity rounds, but I was shooting this from MUCH closer then the recommended distance (I'm aware of the dangers of shooting steel and how to minimize them) and with "copper washed" (.22 doesn't really have jacketed) rounds (Remington Bulk Golden Bullets, if I recall correctly), and I had no problem with pitting of the plates (other then the normal lead splatter).
The stupid stickers blew off about the second shot, but that's to be expected (I'm not even sure why they bother putting them on). A little spray paint in your favorite color generally makes the target plenty visible, so the stickers aren't even close to necessary.
Overall, a good little target and lots of fun to take to the range. I've ordered the center fire version for use with my bigger guns.
