Thread: Shooting Steel

Just message me size & preferred plate type (I spose 400 wear plate is best, but I'm no expert, around the 10-12mm mark maybe) or drawings if you want something a bit different and a shipping address & I'll get back to you.

Supply an email if you'd rather do it that way. Might be quicker, at my end anyway.

What's the story with your avatar pic @Ricochet ??

Well I was just sighting in my scope at a convenient south auckland gun range. Pak&Save. And one round must have clipped a can and hit this lovely lady. I laughed, she shrugged it off and I took a pic cos she's got nice pins.

Or I just saw the pic & thought it was ironically appropriate considering the name I use here. One of those, I forget which.

We had welded chain at the start. Welds didn't seem to last too long receiving all that shock. Went to d shackles and haven't looked back.

bis 80 hundreds of shots, at close range too.

Which is why you get 400

Yep that looks like a ricochet waiting to happen...

500 grade material ensures you can go thinner. I have quite a few AR400 16mm targets, a couple of AR360 12mm targets (for longer distances), and a few Hardox targets at 12mm thick. I am now looking at AR500 (or equivalent) material at 10mm thick for targets.
