They’re local to me and they’re amazing. I’ve shot thousands of rounds at these steel targets over the last one and a half years and they’ve held great!

We do our fair share of shooting pistols and rifles…some at pretty close ranges. And Shoot Steel targets have held up through the years and thousands of rounds.

Target is quick to set up and take down. Extremely stable base with no need to use stakes to secure it even when shooting 3300 ft per sec .233 rounds there is no movement from 200 or 300 yrds. Worth ever dollar.

Bought 2 of them, they're amazing !!! Shot my 9mm close range about 8-10 yards & also my AR. Definitely recommend! I also drive a Chevy equinox suv and they both fit with the back seats down perfectly. Thanks ShootSteel!

The 3/4 AR550 I picked up a couple from you guys a few years ago. It’s been shot about 80 times this day with 660gr PMC AT 185 yards. Still hasn’t left a mark. Swings hard when hit tho. It’s great.

3/8” AR500
The min distance is 100 yards for 3/8” and 1/2” AR500 when using 55gr FMJ out of a 16″ barrel with a maximum muzzle velocity of 2800 fps. Keep in mind with 223/5.56 that some loads may be well over 2800 FPS. These loads should be used at longer ranges to prevent damage to the target.
Yes – the 3/8″” AR500 targets work great for rimfire.
Most of the lead and copper deflects at 20 degrees. You must always wear safety glasses and set up the targets in a safe location. In general the bullets do not “bounce” back or ricochet. This doesn’t mean they never will, just that most of the bullets will fragment and deflect at 20 degrees.
