I need advice and opinions on making an AR500 steel target set up. I want ;
1.At least 3 targets
2.Pistol and rifle (up to 7mm Rem Mag)
3.What sizes and shapes (square or round, with or without ears) are good for what range? (up to 200 yards)
4.What thickness and weight for different sizes/shapes.
5.What type of stand for weight capacity and quickness of set up and take down as well as transport.
6.Any advice on how to attach to any stand..  
7.Good price suppliers.
Thanks for your response.  Cmax

There are some other threads on this subject, but I'll show some of what I have.

1/2" AR500 11.5" x 11.5" hung with cheap fire type hose.





at about 70 yards, the .204 ruger will just barely dimple one of these.  At the same distance, you cant tell they've been shot with a .308 other than the paint is gone.

There were aquired locally from a guy that has a local fabrication shop and was doing our little group a favor by selling these things at cost.

I got them to shoot at long range mostly, but they work great for pistol targets too.

I'm still working on a stand system that I like and that I can transport in the back of my Outback.

If you use longer bolts, it would tilt the bottom of the plate rearward thus increasing the service life of the target. It would also send your frags downward instead of to the side making it safer to shoot at closer distances.

Good ideas!  Thanks.  I'll look into that.
