Shiny!
And after:
Not So Shiny...
Here's a close-up of one of the swinging targets:
Still In One Piece!
Overall, this is a GREAT target system for the price. The minimum distance recommended by Caldwell is 25 yards, which by a happy coincidence happens to be the back of the pistol range at my gun club. The targets are only 2.5" across, which tends to make things challenging using a pistol (oddly enough, the first two times I shot at this target I used my scoped Remington 511 and my Smith & Wesson Model 17. Of course, I hit it more times with the Smith...).
The "resetting" part works - when the swinging targets will actually stay up top. 9 out of 10 times, you'd hit the last target hanging down only to have another target be jarred down. This is a minor quibble, in that the fun lies in hearing the "tink" of lead on steel rather than in the mechanics of getting all the targets up at once - although there is somewhat of a rush when you hit those little targets with all six shots out of a revolver at 25 yards...
Overall, an enthusiastic two thumbs up for the Caldwell .22 Resetting Target System!
That is all.

FYI: Walmart sells replacement target stickers for those.
Wire wheel in an electric drill to scrub off most of the old paint/lead, Then hit them with black spraypaint to take the shine off. Cheap spraypaint. None of it's bulletproof anyways.
I own a couple of these. When they get scuffed up lay it on a small piece of plywood and spray paint them with the cheapest paint I could find. No cleaning, no wire brushing. It dries in 10 minutes. Works like a charm.
I have one that's similar. I just spray each with the cheapest white paint I can find - no cleaning or brushing, just spray, dry, shoot.
