TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK Review

The TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK Made a Bold First Impression

As an outdoor and tactical gear specialist, I’ve seen countless targets come and go. However, the TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK from TRU immediately piqued my interest with its promise of enhanced point-of-impact visibility. For years, I’ve struggled with targets that make it difficult to see where my shots are landing, especially at longer distances or in less-than-ideal lighting.

I needed a reliable target solution that would allow me to quickly and easily assess my accuracy with various firearms. This included shotguns, handguns, rifles, and even the occasional crossbow session. I’ve used standard paper targets, but the lack of immediate feedback often leads to wasted time walking downrange or relying on spotting scopes, which isn’t always practical.

Upon receiving the TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK, I was impressed by the heavy stock paper. The fluorescent green halo around the grid looked promising for easy downrange visibility. It felt more durable than some of the flimsier targets I’ve encountered.

Compared to basic silhouette targets I’ve used, the TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK offered a distinct advantage with its grid system for precise zeroing and grouping analysis. Against self-adhesive splatter targets, the TRU target stood out due to its simpler, less messy design. And unlike some reactive targets, these TRU targets offered a balance between immediate feedback and cost-effectiveness.

My initial feeling was one of cautious optimism. I was eager to see if the “fluorescent green halo” lived up to the hype and whether the self-adhesive backing would actually stick to my preferred backstop without peeling off. It was time to head to the range and find out if these targets could truly improve my shooting experience.

2. Real-World Testing: Putting **TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK** to the Test

   First Use Experience

I first tested the TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK at my local outdoor shooting range. The weather was typical for the Pacific Northwest: slightly overcast with a hint of drizzle. I used the targets with a 9mm handgun at 25 yards and a .223 rifle at 100 yards.

The high-visibility green halo proved to be incredibly helpful. Even in the dim lighting, I could clearly see my point of impact without needing binoculars or a spotting scope. The self-adhesive backing stuck firmly to the cardboard backstop, even with the slight moisture in the air.

I didn’t need any time to get used to the target’s grid layout. It’s a standard target design, and I was able to easily track my shots and make adjustments to my aiming point. The only minor issue was that the ink from my pen smeared slightly when marking the target in the damp conditions.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several weeks of using the TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK during various range sessions, the targets have held up remarkably well. The heavy stock paper has proven to be resistant to tearing, even after repeated use with various firearms. There are no significant signs of wear and tear other than the obvious bullet holes.

Maintenance is virtually non-existent. Once the target is riddled with holes, I simply peel it off and replace it with a fresh one. This is considerably less messy than dealing with splatter targets that leave residue on the backstop.

Compared to standard paper targets, the TRU TRU-SEE TARGGET GRID 12PK has significantly improved my ability to quickly assess shot placement and grouping. The enhanced visibility has saved me time and energy, allowing me to focus more on refining my technique. These targets exceeded my expectations in terms of visibility and ease of use.
