Anyone that shoots, knows about replacing targets. Infinity Targets has come out with a solution for anyone using USPSA/IDPA silhouettes. They are making reusable rubber targets that look like those cardboard humanoid ones. When I first noticed these, I knew I just had to have one. Infinity Targets agreed to send me one.

Construction of the Infinity Target is recycled rubber. Similar to the “rubber dummy” style, but flat and thinner. The target depth runs about ¾”. They then paint one side white. I was sent the target with “zones”. The zones are cut into the target to resemble the scoring zones on a USPSA target. When I first received the Infinity target, these zone marks were black, but after painting over the target, they are now the same color as the target, but still noticeable.

The Infinity target came with 2 heavy duty metal clamps. These included clamps are used to clamp the target to a stand. When I say “stand”, I mean the typical 2 piece, 1”X2”, wood uprights, that are typically slid into some type of metal base. The 2 clamps hold the target to the sticks pretty good. The target itself is not light, I’d say it weighs around 10-12 lbs. If the sticks in your target base are loose, the target can seem to lean a little. Another set of clamps will fix this, but I just lived with it because it wasn’t enough to matter. Replacement clamps are pretty cheap, should you choose to shoot one.

These type of targets are great for practice. Since the Infinity Target has zones, you can see where your hits are. Seeing the hits is helpful if you compete. I even used it to sight in a few pistols. If you get too many holes for your liking, just grab your can of spray paint, and paint over the hits. I will mention that since the target is self healing, the marks it makes in the paint do not look like the nice holes in a paper target.

Every range trip, I take the Infinity Target out. The range I use does not allow steel to be shot with rifles any closer than 100yds. It’s for safety, and I understand. By using the Infinity Target, I am able to shoot rifles on the pistol bays. Plus I just paint it when I paint my pistol steel target. I am also able to shoot the Infinity target at very short distances. At muzzle close distances, it doesn’t blow apart like cardboard targets. If you live where it rains a lot, I do, the rubber doesn’t soak up water like paper or cardboard, so you can shoot longer in the rain. The target also works as a nice paper target backer, just staple your paper target to it and go.

I have pretty much shot the Infinity Target with everything I have. As one might expect, hollow points will do more damage to the target. This is because they literally punch a hole out instead of pushing their way through. Infinity Targets says you can use anything up to 12 gauge 00 buck, but no slugs. The smaller calibers like .22lr and .223 hardly do anything to it. 9mm and up seem to actually do more damage to the target itself. Now, I shot 00 buck at about 3 yards, it took a pretty big chunk, out of the back side, of the target, but no visible holes. I did shoot one 12 gauge slug at it, it put a nice size hole in the target (I expected this). After 4 months and probably well over 1000 rounds, it’s still holding up well.

Circles are 00 buck impacts from 3 yards

If you don’t want the Infinity Target white, just paint it. If you want it to look like a USPSA cardboard target, paint it a brown color. I painted mine grey as it is slightly harder to see. The darker the color, the harder it is to make out where you hit the target. I like this for training because I can’t see the hits and have to just go on training. I did notice that “flat” paints and primers do a better job of covering the target and covering of the bullet holes.

The Infinity Targets, zone target, is nice. As the saying goes, I would recommend it to a friend. Shipping costs aren’t very cheap because of the size/weight, but sometimes Infinity Target’s has deals on shipping. If you are looking for some sort of usable, reusable, target, definitely go give them a look.

Great for close contact drills

I am the training director at diamondback shooting sports in Tucson, Az. These targets are awesome for our close contact drills. Paper targets last all of two rounds from close distance, but these targets hold up great. They seem to take as many rounds as full size rubber dummies but for 1/4 of the price! Would always suggest these targets, and will be ordering some for our sales floor asap!
