FAQ: Shooting Targets
What steel should I use for targets?
AR500 steel is the standard for pistol and rifle targets. It handles most common calibers at appropriate distances. AR550 is harder and lasts longer under magnum rifle fire. Minimum safe distances: 10 yards for pistol, 100 yards for rifle on AR500. Always angle steel targets downward to deflect fragments toward the ground.
What are splatter targets?
Splatter targets (like Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C) have a colored layer under a black surface. When hit, the colored ring appears around the bullet hole, making hits visible from distance without a spotting scope. They are excellent for zeroing scopes and confirming groups at 50 to 100 yards.
How thick should my steel target be?
For pistol-only use, 3/8 inch AR500 is sufficient. For rifle use with standard calibers (5.56, .308), use 3/8 inch AR500 at 100+ yards or 1/2 inch for closer distances. For magnum calibers (.300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua), use 1/2 inch AR550. Thicker is always safer.
