Not sure which subforum this should go in, but…
I am looking into setting up a variety of steel targets on my property. Mainly for suppressed .22/9mm plinking with an occasional .223 discharge. Distances will range from 20-100 yards. I have done enough homework to know that I want the AR500 steel for both safety and longevity reasons. I am planning on hanging/fastening all targets in a non-rigid manner to help dissipate the bullet’s energy. I hope to use my meager metal working skills to produce some type of reactive target as well, possibly one of those spinning wheel of death contraptions.
Does anyone have any first hand experience setting up their own targets or making reactive targets? Any pics or links to custom setups would be greatly appreciated.
Rather that having to find a plate of AR500 steel and cut it myself, I am planning to purchase the target plates pre-cut. I was looking at Handgun Sports out of Melissa, Texas: Steel Targets and Products by www.handgunsports.com
Has anyone had any dealings with them and/or any other companies preferably closer to the Central Texas area since I really don’t want to pay for shipping?
Thanks for the help.
