What Are Bunnies of Balyang Targets?

The Bunnies of Balyang target range is purpose-built to all rifles, rim, centrefire, and pest control practice. The rabbit silhouette format gives you a realistic aiming reference that carries over directly to the field, not some abstract bullseye that teaches you nothing about shot placement on actual animals.

Balyang targets come in formats suited to both paper practice sessions and reactive steel setups. Whether you're running a bolt-action .22 LR from the bench, stretching out with a 204 HMR, or confirming zero on a centrefire before heading out, Bunnies of Balyang targets give you a target that makes sense for the job.

They're popular with pest controllers, rimfire competitors, and recreational shooters who want their range time to mean something come hunting season..

Choosing the Right Bunnies of Balyang Target Format

Not all target sessions are the same. Here's how to match your Balyang target to the work:

Paper targets

Paper targets suit bench sessions, scope zeroing, and group testing. Run Bunnies of Balyang paper targets when you need to track shot placement, measure groups, or dial in a new optic before heading out. Easy to mark, review, and replace.

Steel targets

A steel Bunnies of Balyang target gives you instant feedback. Pair it with steel targets from our full range for a complete reactive setup. Check hardness ratings against your calibre before you shoot; rimfire-rated steel is fine for .22 and .17, but centrefire work needs appropriate Bisalloy steel targets.

Thermal targets

Thermal targets add another dimension for low-light and night shooting practice. If you're running thermal optics for after-dark pest control, thermal targets let you validate your setup in the same conditions you'll be hunting. Pair a thermal Bunnies of Balyang target with your optic to confirm reticle alignment and target acquisition before you're out in a paddock at midnight.

For shooters wanting full animal silhouette variety beyond the rabbit format, see our animal targets range.

Setting Up a Useful Practice Session with Balyang Targets

Good target work isn't just putting holes in paper. A few things that make sessions count:

Set distances that reflect real-world pest shooting – 50m, 80m, and 100m are practical benchmarks for rabbit work with all types of rifles. If you're shooting centrefire for longer-range fox or pig control, push out to 200m and confirm your dope holds.

Use Bunnies of Balyang targets to test your kit, not just yourself. If you've fitted a new gun scope, run a zeroing session on paper targets before committing to a day in the field. The same goes for ammo changes. Different projectile weights can shift the point of impact enough to matter.

Shoot from positions you'll actually use. Prone off a pack, sitting against a post, off a bipod on the ute bonnet. A bench rest group tells you what your rifle is capable of. Field positions tell you what you're capable of.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibres are Bunnies of Balyang targets suited to?

Bunnies of Balyang targets are made from Bisalloy hardened steel, making them suitable for use with both rimfire and centrefire calibres. This durability means they can handle a wide range of ammunition types when used correctly and at appropriate shooting distances. Always follow safe shooting practices to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your steel target.

What's the difference between paper and steel Balyang targets?

Paper Bunnies of Balyang targets are best for zeroing, group measurement, and shot placement analysis, as you get a permanent record of each hit. Steel targets give you instant audible and visual feedback without walking the range, which suits faster-paced reactive practice sessions.

Are Bunnies of Balyang targets suitable for thermal optic practice?

Yes. Thermal targets within the Bunnies of Balyang range are designed for use with thermal optics, making them practical for shooters who run night vision or thermal gear for after-dark pest control. They let you validate your optic and zero in low-light conditions before heading into the field.

What distance should I shoot Balyang targets at?

For rabbit-calibre work, 50 to 100 metres covers realistic pest shooting distances. Centrefire shooters can push further depending on their setup and quarry. Use practical field distances rather than fixed bench distances to get range sessions that translate to real results.

Can I use Bunnies of Balyang targets for competition practice?

The rabbit silhouette format suits all types of rifles and pest control scenario practice rather than formal bullseye competition. If you compete in field-style or pest-scenario events, Bunnies of Balyang targets are a solid fit for building the aiming habits those formats demand.

What other targets does H. Rehfisch & Co. stock alongside Bunnies of Balyang?

We carry a full range of steel targets, thermal targets, and animal silhouette targets to suit different calibres, disciplines, and shooting conditions. Whether you're after reactive steel for fast-paced drills or paper animal targets for precision work, you'll find options to build a complete range setup.
