3 Things To Consider While Choosing Steel Shooting Targets

Shooting practice with steel targets is a delight. The echoing "PING" sound and the occasional sparks will make your day!

But all this is fun only if you choose the proper steel targets for shooting. The steel target is supposed to dent. If it were to crack, chip, flake, or deform inconsistently, the bullets will ricochet and even send them flying in all directions, even toward you!

Did not mean to scare you, but this is the truth! So, how can you choose steel targets? Here are three things to check before finalizing your steel target for shooting.

1)Steel hardness

Steel hardness is a must. It is the essential quality of a steel target. AR steel is available in Brinell Hardness Levels from AR350-AR700.

You might want to note this part: Lower the number, the softer the steel and Higher the number the steel targets become brittle.

So as a middle ground, you can always choose AR500 steel targets! They have the perfect balance of strength and rigidity.

Flat Surface

The Steel shooting targets should have a flatter surface. This rule is carved in stone!

It's crucial to keep it that way. If it has any bumps or dents, there is a high chance that the bullets may fly in unpredictable directions. Also, ineffective steel welding creates soft areas on the steel that can crater or pock. So always make sure that the surface is flat!

Boarding Angle

The steel target's angle affects how the bullet responds. Here are three angles that are chosen for boarding AR500 steel shooting targets.

90º ANGLE - The splatter is distributed evenly in a circular shape

15º ANGLE - Ideal for most shooting. The splatter is directed down, and the target faces down

45º ANGLE - Apt for closer range and shooting with powerful ammunition

Just remember, the steeper the angle, the more splatter is directed toward the ground, and more energy is dissipated.

Conclusion

Just these three points are enough to make your shooting experience top-notch. At Triumph systems, we check all these factors thoroughly. Additionally, we also create the best steel targets that are apt for All your shooting needs. Get in touch with us right away.
