Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Steel Is Used to Make Rimfire Targets?
Most of our rimfire targets are made of AR400, an abrasion-resistant alloy steel designed to withstand high-wear conditions. This steel provides unmatched durability, even for those who routinely take part in high-volume sessions.
Can’t I just use mild steel instead of AR400 or others instead?
This is one of the most common questions we get, but the answer is a loud, resounding, and ricocheting NO! Mild steel is for welding; it is too soft for shooting practice and therefore too dangerous.
How Long Can You Expect a .22 Rifle Target to Last?
You can expect a .22 rifle target from Shoot Steel to last a very long time, since we use only premium steel to make our targets right here in the USA. Our .22 rifle targets are incredibly durable and designed to deal with high-volume practice sessions. They also come with lengthy warranties that highlight our commitment to creating the highest-quality rifle targets possible.
Which Types of Firearms Can You Use With Rimfire Steel Targets?
You can use rimfire steel targets with any firearms that shoot standard .22 Long Rifle ammunition. From semi-automatic pistols and lever-action rifles to revolvers and bolt-action rifles, you have the option to use any number of firearms with a rimfire-rated target. You should shy away from using .22 Magnum or .17 HMR ammunition, since they tend to dent rimfire-rated targets and damage them otherwise.
Are .22 Steel Targets Good for Professional Training?
Yes, .22 steel targets are a great option for professional training, especially for law enforcement officers or military members. They provide instant feedback and prevent trainees from having to walk great distances to see results. It helps them make the most of high-volume training sessions.
