Does anyone have a line on metal targets that will handle .25 rifles. Steel Plinkers seem to be out of business.
Metal Targets

AoA picked up much of SteelPlinker's line. They don't have everything that they sell on their website so it's best to give them a call. Action Target also has a .22 rimfire line which works very well, but is likely better for .30 cal and up if you are shooting beyond 50 yards.

I was busting these at 125 yards on a windy day with my WC ... you can get them in 3/16" thick ... any size you want

I would suggest shooting targets as well. I have a bunch of their gongs and they are very reasonably priced. Was just shooting at one yesterday at 100 yards with my FX Cyclone. Love to hear that sound!

Yep, it's a blast. I take my Autel drone with a 4K camera and hover it in front of the targets and video it from about 10 feet away. Just got to be careful about shooting the drone. These pics were taken with a Nikon Coolpix with a 50x zoom lens ... that's why they look so washed out ... but I mean you couldn't really see the targets very well at all with the naked eye. I used a range finder on everything out there ... it was 60 yards to the road, about 25 yards across the brush and the targets were 40 yards out in the field, that field is almost a half mile across. That's the residence of my late mother-in-law, love that place ... the targets are just to the left of the telephone pole and just to the right of the guy wire coming down from it. The road is a dead end road with nobody living down there, it runs down to a swamp..

I have a set of animal silhouettes that I put out on saw horses at 50 and 75 yards and I also have 5 different sizes of AR500 plates that I made holders for. Here are pics of what I use and if you search around you can find better prices. A pic of my range with silhouettes and AR500 plates when I 1st set it up.

Hot Damn son ... that's freakin' beautiful. I'm gonna have to come down and see you sometime. I used to shoot hunters pistol 35 years ago at NRA matches ... I loved it. Used a Thompson Center Contender chambered in .41 mag. Don't even know if I could hold a pistol steady enough these days to duplicate what I used to do ... I'm just happy to be on this side of the turf.
You have done well, I'm jealous.

Imold- Your Range looks awesome! I just made a tall saw horse to hang some plates for plinking for airguns and PB. Great reactive targets practice before the GS start coming out of their burrows.

Given parameters, you could effectively create your own. You could simply buy steel plates and use a carbide tip drill bit to make two holes at corners to hang it in range fashion using chains. All you have to do is spray paint it every so often so that you can see where your rounds hit. I have a 1/16"(?) Steel plate I use for my .22 and it dents it fairly well but hasn't passed through yet. Going to paint it today and use it for a reactive target.

Jim that range of yours is absolutely beautiful! Easy to see why you want the snow gone so you can get back out there. Uj

Here's my steel target I was speaking of. Made at home with a square steel plate I had laying around and two cans of spray paint. Since it is stainless steel, that means it's shiny. So using a base layer of black and then five dots of "green apple" color, I know have a steel reactive target. It's 12"x13.5" and takes a hit from my .22 with just some heavy denting as you can see.
P.s. Before painting, I had to flatten out the big dent left by all day shooting. A hammer and concrete does great for that. Larger caliber, thicker steel.
