    Great for shooting groups and checking zeros too. I love my 24" round @ 450 I have a 8" round under it for when I verify POI on the 24"

    Target Size

    Having good reactivity helps with spotting hits. Too often the spotter misses the "splash" especially with lighter bullets at longer ranges. A target plate that moves easily can be spotted by the shooter. Check out this demo with our 12 inch plate.

    T posts are about the same price and can be pounded directly in the ground so they can be used without an expensive stand. Wood will splinter and absorb bullet jacket fragments that can lay your hand open like a razor blade. T posts can get shot up but they rarely break. Used with the...

    If the target plate is at an extreme angle it can re direct some of the energy and lessen damage to the plate. Some outfits make massive welded brackets that hold the plate on the extreme angle but I found that gravity was much cheaper than steel and welding rods. Here is one of our plates as...

    Can steel targets be too thick/heavy?

    Wear eye protection and keep a tourniquet in your shooting bag. Everyone should have these items when shooting on general principles but especially when shooting soft steel.

    Can steel targets be too thick/heavy?

    It's not the jacket as much as the "cratered" target plate. Cratered plates are VERY DANGEROUS and can be fatal. Never... ever shoot a cratered plate. Also, a plate on a welded on "foot" can direct spall back to the shooter. My wife caught a jacket frag in her neck from a plate on a foot...

    Can steel targets be too thick/heavy?

    Rifled slugs can be a problem on steel plates because of their mass and construction especially the standard hollow base rifled slugs. The velocity of the slug is insufficient to completely spall the slug resulting in large pieces flying around. The most dangerous possibility is the nose of...
