Best place to buy AR500 steel targets?

[WtxShooter]

So I finally got approval on some family land we have to use as a personal gun range, and need to get some steel targets for it now. What is the most affordable place to buy some? Any places offer a hide discount possibly? Obviously want to help those that help us if possible. Thanks in advance.

Ebay may have the best package deals for buying several at the same time

 

[PBWalsh]

Don’t know of the best prices, but JC Steel targets is good to go. Owner, Jake Vibbert, is a top PRS/NRL shooter and a huge supporter of the sport. I’d definitely look at his stuff. I have a 4” and 10” plate from him and they have held up extremely well over a few years.

JC steel is the hide sponsor

This is where Ive been buying mine from, its the cheapest Ive found and honestly thats the only criteria I care about and they also have a presence on amazon but some stuff is cheaper on their website. https://bullseyemetals-com.myshopify.com/

Though in looking a bit now for a full size ispc midway is matching the price and has a free shipping coupon as well so its the same price. Shop around and see where the best price is after shipping. Shipping these can be pricey.

 

[WtxShooter]

Very nice! I'll check out both places. I'm gonna be buying quite a bit, so price is a huge concern for sure.

They've also run the Sniper's Hide Cup for the past three years.

Hang Fast have worked well for us. Super easy with t-post mounts.

 

[MK20]

If you are a cheap guy like me, find the nearest scrap yard. They will normally let you trade a case of beer for some scrap AR steel. Any type of cutting blade or even quarry chute lining will be Abrasion Resistant (AR). If any of you are up in Washington State, PM me and I can give you contact info for a good place to pick up some steel.

HangFast if you want to use T-posts

I've dealt with Jake at JC Steel for a few years and can say that his product and customer service has been exceptional and that all of my needs and expectations have been met. Buy with confidence from JC Steel.

 

[PhOnEpHrEaK]

JC steel for sure have quite a few of his targets

 

[PhOnEpHrEaK]

Big dawg steel is good as well; I shoot eith Ryan from time to time.

 

[Stpilot12]

JC Steel and Hangfast.. I have several pieces from both companies, good quality, good people. And JC DOES have a T-post hanger also

 

[TxLabRat]

JC Steel is where I buy for everything AR500. Jake is not only an awesome shooter but his business supports youths at risk. An awesome thing he does IMHO.

 

[101stinfantry]

JC Steel, or Big Dawg

 

[Scarface26]

I've bought some from shootingtargets7.com. Reasonable price - 2/3 IPSC silhouette is $74 and change right now.

God bless America

I can say that the JC Steel slotted hook bracket is slick as slick. Easy to use, easy to set up.

I cut my T-posts in about half, I usually don't need them super long anyway, makes them a lot easier to pack on the 4 wheeler. I cut the tip to a point, and pound them in with a small hand sledge.

The best part of this system is just how damn loud and clear they ring when struck!! It's pretty awesome.

[maxfly]

JC for me

 

[Maelstrom]

JcSteel or Big dog steel. Both are hide vendors and have a great selection with good prices.

You beat me to it. It's an easy-to-use, durable hanging system and it rings like a bell. Add to that Jake's great attitude and excellent customer service = win/win.

 

[Darkphage]

Yup — he’s a cool guy, makes great products for a damn good price & he supports troubled kids with his business.

How do you beat that!

JC steel is great, just completed my first purchase from them last month.

 

[littleeagle52]

Another one for JC steel. I also just got my first purchase from them. Will not be my last ,great service.

 

[davsco]

I've bought some from shootingtargets7.com.

on a whim ordered a full size 1/2" ipsc ar500 from them a day or two ago, i think $203 shipped including base and bracket. frankly i didn't check around though this seems like a pretty good price from when i looked around last year.

 

[stevenc23]

AATargets.com is another great option. Great products and awesome people.

 

[Eric_F]

Another vote for Shootsteel here.

Full disclosure, the owner is a member at my range. But that means I've been using his targets and seeing how they take abuse at the range, and they're great.

Joey is one of us. Good people.

ETA- JC Steel is good people too!! Can't go wrong.

 

[Wildfire1550]

i have seen great prices at industrial metal supply, if you have one near you. If you sign up for an account they send occasional coupons good for anything including their pre cut targets. 20% off!

 

[Ontarget10]

JC Steel. And they are a great cause. If it is in stock ships fast. I shave gotten all my steel from them.

Excellent prices and quality steel

 

[Sierra770]

It's been posted, but worth posting again...JC Steel. Jake is a awesome to deal with.

 

[Tyler Kemp]

Well, as you know JC steel is a good place to go.

I'd like to throw my targets in there. We waterjet cut and have excellent prices and package deals, along with mounting systems. It's argued, but waterjet cut is undeniably more durable on the edges.



I need to organize our steel selection, but here it is:

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but its the newest one I found.

Caldwell has a pretty nice discount through expertvoice that comes out to about 50% off and free shipping.

Full size AR500 IPSC 3/8 $88
66% IPSC $50
33% $20
T post or 2/4 Hangers $8

Those are shipped prices but you will have to pay tax

Wow. Caldwell must like losing money. Material and shipping on a full size IPSC is so, so much more than $88.

 

[CrabsandFootball]

I suppose cutting overseas from "AR500" may help. Would definitely be interested in a true hardness test or mill cert. I know I buy US AR500 by the truckload and you could not offer these prices. Maybe they write off the difference with their MSRP as a donation...lol

My buddy has a rockwell scale in his shop. I will go test them when they come in.

Hell yeah! You should hit the edges too. I'm assuming they're cut somewhere with a very high power fiber laser, maybe c02 if it's overseas.
