Steel Targets

[toehanus]

I'd just be shooting with .45 acp or smaller. I have an a frame with swinging paddles that has some damage from my .44. Just looking for something fun to shoot.

tacstrike has good prices for some that you just hang on a shepherd's hook.

To qualify my post above about the scrap yard being your friend- For LSWC's out of a .45 ACP, 22LR and whatever else standard velocity fodder that falls out of my pistol barrels at 25 and 50yd, thick scrap steel works absolutely fine. It doesn't deform, even after several thousand hits. Allowing the target to move a bit, like hanging it from scrap chain or building it hinged from it's mounts helps. Old (Free, from gas suppliers) welding cylinders cut in half or thirds and hung from chains make decent silhouette targets.

YMMV

I don't know how construction sites are in OK, but in Florida I was able to simply find the shift supervisor and I asked him for some scrap material. A little here and there for 3 years. I beams, flat steel. I cut small I-beam pieces into two targets. I have a very nice setup, were all but one 10" plate were free.
