Inexpensive, steel targets intended for firearms practice offer an alternative to more costly options. Typically made of hardened steel, these targets are designed to withstand repeated impacts from projectiles, providing audible feedback (a distinct “ping”) upon impact. A common example includes AR500 steel targets, known for their durability and affordability.
Durable and reusable, steel targets represent a cost-effective solution for marksmanship training. Their resilience allows for extended use, reducing the need for frequent replacements as seen with paper or cardboard targets. The immediate auditory feedback enhances the training experience by confirming successful hits without the need to visually inspect the target after each shot. The development of affordable steel targets has broadened access to effective target practice, contributing to improved firearms proficiency across various disciplines.
