Alaska Steel up here in Fairbanks will cut it in any shape for you. I think they have one down in Anchorage too.

I used a 10 or 12" C channel as a base and a a 1" square tube as the post. The base and the back of the target had slots to hold everything up. If I can find photos I'll post them.

A friend did all the welding for me. Broke down to three pieces for transport.

There was a group buy last spring for AR400 steel that steelfab torched for us. THat may have been what you saw. The AR400 holds up pretty well, but it's not AR500.

We can probably get Dave B's contact number from Dave A. He is also on the 4x4 board. He orchestrated the last buy.
