Everything is a compromise. As I said this is how we have chosen to do it since we can put out up to 20-30 targets for an afternoons shoot, and then have to knock it all down again to clear the...

No magnums tested. Weld stress is why we went for the laser cut and folded bracket - it puts the majority of the structural welding into the 250 grade plate rather than the AR500. It is also why...

Rapid fire IPSC 3-gun

Haven't had any issues at 100m. That said, for longer range I would suggest using a spring wire with a flag on it clamped to the top of the plate. When the plate is hit, the plate movement will...

Crappy photos as its raining and they are taken under fluro in the workshop but you will get the idea.
Here is what we came up with for our steels. These are deliberately designed to be mounted low...

I would suggest that that may be the case on the rare occasion, but not the norm. In one of the videos you can see an example of that happening where there is what looks like a firefly whizzing...

Here's some videos showing typical ricochet issues highlighted by using tracers. Note the completely random directions for the rounds, even coming off the ground in the first video. If they weren't...

Yes, hanging off chains is an option and you can position the chain mounting points such that the plate will hang at 20 deg. The biggest issue I see with chains is the time it takes for the target...

The 20 deg angle serves two purposes:
1. It ensures that the projectile splatters in a downward direction and into the ground rather than off to the side or up, potentially into an unsafe zone...

Just pulled out the price we paid for AR500. A piece 300x300x10mm was $41 each +gst.
Interestingly, we were originally quoted AR400 which was only $1.21 cheaper per piece.

This is very...

On offence intended by the above image - I would hate to see someone end up on the "incident" thread of this forum.

Its been said before, and I'll say it again, be very careful shooting steels of the wrong steel grade set at an incorrect angle to the line of fire ........... you put yourself and everyone around...

Talk to Fletcher Easy Steel in Auckland. Had $2000 worth of plates cut from 10mm thick AR500 a couple of months ago for the club.
