Default New steel target pictures

I just ordered two 8" plates along with stands from Metal Man in AZ. The steel is 3/8" thick and 500 Brinell hardness. The shipping was more expensive than I was hoping for, but it's a quality target. I feel that I can make my own stands because I plan on buying more plates from Metal Man. I am hoping to get some time this winter to test them out at ranges between 300-700 yards.

What I like about the plates are they are bolted versus being welded on. Welds are not nearly as strong and I can replace the plates down the road.

That is true, what will you be shooting with at those distances?

I have that exact same target from the same company. They're very nice.
