Suggestions for steel target and stand

[DarkKnight]

I am looking for a good steel target and a stand that will place the top of the steel target at approx. 5'-6'. The reason is that the place where I shoot likes you to have your taregts set at that height inside of about 600 yrds. They do this as a safety precaution against rounds skipping off of the ground and going over the berm. Thanks

Check out the LV Steel Targets, specifically the ones "on a stick" and the drive in the ground bases. If you use a standard 2" X 2" you can cut it to whatever length you want to get the desired height. Something else that I do is use LV's drive in the ground bases and a 2X2 with a hook to hang a standard steel target. I just keep the chain short so that it can't swing too far to one side or the other.

I have four of Kurt's targets and so far only one of them is about "broken" but only because it's been with everything from .223 to .338 at fairly close ranges. I highly recommend his stuff.

Also check with Big Dog Steel. They have several types including some that go on top of your supplied 4x4 post. I've made two orders from them and got first class service and excellent products.

I've been very pleased with Big Dog Steel's plate/t-post set up. You pick the plate size, and then get his "t-post hanger". The hanger fits on any length standard T-post( I buy them for $5 at tractor supply) ........easy to deal with, and you don't hane to ship the target stand.....works for me!

For targets I've been more than happy with these http://www.jcsteeltargets.com/

For stands I've been using ones from http://www.acetargets.com/

This combo lets me pack quite a bit of steel with me without taking up a lot of room. I've yet to break either a target or stand, and those that have shot with me know I have a tendency of trashing both.

Check out MGM targets: their June special looks fairly "low-profile."

I looked at the ace targets link and it looks a little under construction. When I clicked on the pay with paypal the description just said 1/2". The contact us link got me know where. Is this sight legit?

A real estate sign with some chain works well.

I'm pretty sure it's legit

But the server change has the site a bit jacked up. Send a PM and I will get you taken care of.

Our AR550 steel torso target would work great for what you need. Here's the link: http://www.actiontarget.com/store/statictargets/at-torso.html

You can also order a 4' stand to make it even taller: http://www.actiontarget.com/store/statictargets/at-static-stand.html

I would choose a Hide AUTHORIZED vendor. No offense to Action Target but they should read the rules.Hide vendors take care of Hide members!

I make my stands out of black iron pipe. Works well and it's light. And easy to repair.

Big Dog Steel offers a target stand that you use a 4"x4" wooden post. You pick the length & they're cheap to replace. It's what I use.

LV Shooters and Outback welding make some GREAT targets. I have there targets. Was using one today.

Re: Suggestions for steel target and stand

Big Dog Steel is all you need for your target needs. Ryan makes some serious targets AND the stands for them. If you have access to a welder or a friend that can weld, they can make you some corners really easily. Takes about 10 minutes to do properly and they will last forever.
