    Help me choose a steel target head(Action Target)

    Evening!

    I'm looking to pull the trigger on the portable target, "Evil Roy", made by Action Target:



    They're pricey, especially since I want to go AR550 so I want a target head paired with the stand that I will enjoy shooting for a while before I purchase a 2nd. I want to shoot 9mm, .22lr, .38spl in the very near future, 12 or 20 gauge shot in the future and 6.5x55 Swede with 30-06 hopefully in the near future. The rifles are why I want to go with 550 although I hear 500 would do fine. Anyways, I wanted the 40% torso or an 8" circle for starters. Has anyone seen the torso in person? It's suppose to be around the size of a piece of paper haha. I don't know if I would be able to see it at 100 yards. Recommend me a shape that would keep you interested for a few months.

    Circle: 6",8",10" and 12" options
    Rectange: 8"x12" or 12"x24"
    40% ISPC torso target: Size unknown

        My friend has a couple of those targets. they are pretty nice, easy to move and built really well. Mostly used on the pistol range. He started with 12, went down to 8, and now has a couple of six inch tops. Eight is probably a good way to start. Never saw the body target.

            Yeah, Enzo, the 8" looks really good. I like the torso cause it woyld be great for pistol shooting. Wish they mentioned the dimensions! I still might go with it and try shooting it at 100 yards

              Update: Just purchased the 'Evil Roy' target. Decided to try out the 40% target in AR500 instead of 550. I think I'll try shooting it with my Swede at some point(if I can hit it!) to see if it would divot but it's going to be seeing centerfire/rimfire pistol calibers mostly. I paid $136($30 shipping, $7.82 tax) 8" circle will be my next one and possibly in AR550 steel. I'll post a separate review of it just in case someone might be interested.

              Here's a small clip showing the 40% target head in action. Much more accurate pistol shooting this time
