If you get a good source, I'm looking for someone to make me some more AR500 targets. If you're interested, let me know.

There is a large metal supply house on the I17 near deer valley. That might be something they could get.

I asked industrial about a year ago if they could get it. Never got a call back. Same thing at a couple other places.

Freeway Metals on 19th Ave in Phoenix has it and can get it. IIRC they may call it by an industry name or something though. Just explain what you want and Alex can help you out. Good folks.

Try Heflin Steel. That is were I buy it. The AR in AR500 stands for Abrasion Resistant.It is used a lot in the mining industry. I am installing a CNC plasma cutter this weekend at my shop. One of the first things I do with it will be to cut some new targets for myself.

I got mine from http://www.wideners.com/ it was the cheapest price I could find online. You just have to have something to mount them too which sucks. I have making wooden stand for them but they eventually get torn asunder from the fragmentation.

Their plate is actually AR400, good but not 500 strong.
