Shooting steel

[SoCalTargetWorks]

That's again true edge, if anyone is heading out to either Costa Mesa gun show or raahauges sports fair we will have tables at both locations come by and check out some quality laser cut steel

One of the reasons I took up Cowboy Action Shooting. Bang and Clang all day long!!!

We have been shooting steel for several years and love it. These are pictures of our long and short ranges that we just finished last month on the property we bought back in November.

wait till you get time on a dueling tree....

[Southpaw45]

Heck yes Norcal! Dueling trees are a blast! Me and one of my shooting Buddy's burnt so much ammo on one of those that it ain't even funny!

Good stuff. Ts-lgr. Hit the mount with a 6.5. The armor corner took the hit no damage. Nice stand. Very stable.

You should try USPSA or IDPA. Now that's some serious fun! Some would argue, the most fun you can have with your clothes on while outdoors.

When I first started action shooting back home, all the clubs shot on steel targets about the size of an IPSC target. A hit anywhere on the target counts, so there was some FASSSST shooting in those matches.

I actually never shot on paper until I moved out here and started up with USPSA. It sucks in comparison.

I lived next to an Army base, so the range "gongs" were usually hatches from some tank or APC target vehicle that someone had "appropriated". They are extremely durable, even against .50 BMG.

I bought 3 steel targets from SoCalTagetworks with custom canted brackets for some up close rife shooting 25 yards and have put combined with me and friends about 10k rounds on them and they are holding up well.

I also have some action target steel in 550 I love shooting steel targets damn Hickok45 made me do it.

Why buy one, when you can make one for half the price.....

How much did this stand end up costing?

[morfeeis]

I've always wanted to shoot steel and I finally found a gun shop that had them in.

I took it out today and I really don't think I want to ever shoot at another type of target....I love shooting steel man. It's a legit reactive type target, not an accuracy type target but I just like knowing I'm hitting without having to look.

Anyone else enjoy shooting steel?

There is nothing like that ping ping ping, that feed back is so rewarding. Just becareful what you shoot it with.

Wait til you shoot USPSA or duel with a friend on a dueling tree. Texas stars and polish plates ... There are lots of fun steel targets out there.

... But seriously shoot USPSA if you has fun shooting at a steel target.

Just a reminder for safety glasses. I love shooting steel and am not discouraging anyone. Last year I was watching someone shoot a stage at a local match. Got hit in the side of the head from splatter from another bay. Had to have the piece removed a few days later after it got infected.

So, remember to wear your glasses.

How much did this stand end up costing?

How much did this stand end up costing?

the stand it self was about $30 and the ar500 steel plate for $29 online. I've shot it with 5.56 at less then 100 yards and with 7.62x54r and 7.62x39 at 100 yards and not one pit.
