Review Summary
"The Birchwood Casey World of Targets Duplex Spinner is praised for fun, reactive feedback and easy reset, but because it’s not AR500-grade many reviewers say it dents faster with repeated centerfire shots. Customers find it great for plinking and rimfire, less ideal for heavy-caliber sustained use."
