If you’ve ever shot AR500 steel targets you’ll know why they’re the industry standard. Unlike mild steel, this super-hard steel can withstand an intense beating. Rather than allowing bullets to chunk away material or even pass straight through, AR500 steel targets stop rounds dead on impact. This provides both audible and visual feedback, creating a greatly improved user experience. It also increases the safety of shooting steel targets drastically. By maintaining good surface quality – flat, no craters – bullet splatter can be directed towards the ground when hanging targets at a downward angle. With uneven surfaces and cupped or bent targets (such as mild steel or inferior targets) it becomes very difficult to anticipate bullet splatter direction, and the chances of ricochets increases. Always choose to shoot targets that are rated for the calibers you use, and always Shoot The Good Stuff™.
