High-quality hardened steel shooting targets made from AR500 steel offer exceptional durability and longevity. These targets, often preferred by professional and recreational shooters, are designed to withstand repeated impacts from high-velocity projectiles without significant deformation or damage. A typical example might be a 3/8″ thick circular gong used for long-range rifle practice.
The resilience of these hardened steel targets contributes to safer shooting experiences by minimizing risks such as ricochets and fragmentation. Their long lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements, offering a cost-effective solution for regular practice. The development of AR500 steel and its application in target manufacturing has significantly advanced the field of shooting sports, providing more durable and reliable targets than earlier mild steel options.
