ar500 target
Steel targets are shooting targets made out of hardened (martensitic) steel, and are used in firearm and airgun sports such as silhouette shooting, cowboy action shooting, practical/dynamic shooting, long range shooting and field target, as well as recreational plinking. They are popular in both training and competitions because the shooter gets instant acoustic feedback on a successful impact, and can often also visually confirm hits by seeing the bullet getting pulverized, leaving a mark on the surface paint, or moving/knocking down the target. Hanging steel plates (colloquially called "gongs") or self-resetting steel targets also have the advantage that the shooter does not need to go forward downrange to tape the targets, making it a good option for shooting ranges that otherwise have electronic targets. Steel targets also are weatherproof, contrary to paper targets, which do not hold up in rain and wind gusts.
Some shooting stands I made asking $460 for dueling tree and $400 for the other one. The stands have a removable post for easy transportation.
The dueling tree has 3/8” thick plate that I’ve shot up to .308 no problem. The dueling tree is made to order.
The TEE stand has 1/2” thick plates...

I’ve been building steel target stands with what I can come across, and I tend to find some pretty cool stuff to weld together and blast away at.
