Abrasion-resistant steel plates, specifically those made of AR500 steel and measuring one-half inch thick, serve as durable shooting targets. These targets withstand repeated impacts from high-velocity projectiles, making them suitable for various firearms and calibers. The half-inch thickness provides a balance of durability and affordability.
The robust nature of these hardened steel targets offers longevity and cost-effectiveness compared to milder steel targets that degrade more quickly. Their resilience allows for extended use, reducing the frequency of replacement and associated costs. This durability has contributed to their popularity amongst shooting enthusiasts and professionals for target practice and training exercises. Selecting appropriate target hardness based on projectile velocity is crucial for safety and target longevity.
