My one I've ordered is from MOA.
Popquiz Hostage target is fun. |
|
I've only had experience with shootsteel.com I have 5 of their targets and have had no issues.
ETA With all the recommendations I'll have to check our MOA. |
|
If you dont want anything special or fancy I'd go to the local welding shop.

Moa all the way best place for heavy adult toys on the market

I have a bunch from shootingtargets7. Very satisfied. Predominantly used for rimfire speed challenge practice.

Do you need just the targets?
Or the stand and the carrier also? |

Title says it all. View Quote What is the purpose and intended use. Do you want hanging gongs, post mounted targets, poppers, auto reset poppers. Texas stars, plate racks, rimfire targets. Standard sizes and shapes, or wierd/fun targets. Rifle, pistol, or rimfire. Give us more details. It's kind of like those threads asking what gun should I buy. Then after three pages of great AR suggestions we find out the OP wants an over under shotgun for dove hunting. |

Yes you can but unless you buy a full 4x8 sheet of it you will not be close to MOA's prices also if not cut properly you will lose the heat treat all around the edge |

Laser, plasma, or flame cut is going to lose a little of it's temper around the heat affected zone. The only way around that is water jet. Which I've never seen from a steel target manufacturer.

Or just EDM it, you'll only be able to make one target per day, but man will that edge be nice. |

I don't know if anyone has said it, but MOAtargets.com is super awesome.

Was wanting something I can take out to around 300 yards and shoot with rifle. Would need to be fairly large as some of the rifles I have would be at around 9 moa at that distance. |

They cut targets for quite a few people. |

I have ordered from these guys 3 or 4 times. http://www.shootsteel.com/ I have 5 targets from them they all look nearly as clean cut as water jet, could be laser though.

MOA uses a 2x4 post for the stand, and an inexpensive plate to hold the target. https://www.moatargets.com/image/cache/data/tab2-500x500.jpg You can just stick the 2x4 in a bucket of sand. Or you can purchase an actual base. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Full size ipsc target is awesome. They are, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first piece of steel. An AC IPSC is good, or MOA's 95% AC since it can ship flat rate. The full ipsc is too big for alot of shooting. They are awesome fun for longer range pistol targets 50yds+, and offhand rifle at 200/300 yards or prone at 600+. The AC just more versatile if you don't have the extreme long range, avaliable, and want to shoot more than just rapid fire off hand rifle. |
