Just saw your guys' website for the first time. I approve 100%
Now bring in some reactive steel targets. Charge us $100, but make the shipping manageable. I'll buy a bunch!

What type of Reactive targets do you want? Swinger? Gongs? Duelling Trees? What do you plan to shoot it with?
We hadn't planned on Carrying Steel targets. I do have access to guy that is a fine welder and can put something together for you. This would be done as a made to order and paid for with 50% deposit and 50% on completion.
I will talk to him tomorrow and see what he can do as well as a ball park for price. The likelihood of AR500 plates on a reactive Target for $100 is low.
When we were making Steel targets for ourselves to shoot with a rifle(7.62x39, steel core) AR500 was no available at the scrap yard and new was very expensive.

Ar 500 is very expensive but not when you think that you go through 3 cheaper targets (or more) in the life of 1 AR 500 target. Just make sure if you do them, you have them water cut ? (not a metal guy to know the technical term) and not welded on!
Like I said Iam not a metal worker but every reputable target place that sells AR 500 says that is important to keep the hardness right from edge to edge.
I would say the safest way to start with metal targets is just round gongs with ear holes cut to hang chains. they would be easy to ship, easy for the end user to hang, and easy to sell. something like 8" and 12" - 3/4" thick gongs and a 16" - 1/2" gong for long long range?

like I said I know little to nothing about metal but my local club bought a $1500 chunk of ar 500 and decided to cut it themselves to save money and you can shoot through them like they were butter. Pretty sure they used a normal torch though and welded bases on to stand them on a rail. I read that plasma is better but will still affect the edge in a way that a hit will damage the target quite a bit compared to the area not affected by heat. However hits to the edge should be minimal compared to the middle area.
But that is just stuff I have found while trying to find targets and researching metals. I have no experience or first hand knowledge to back it up.

Here is a prototype target we made a few years ago for a local police service. It is remote controlled. It is made from MARS 300 A.P. This was made for long distance .308 practise.We made a few for them, they liked them because of the remote control and portability.plus we didnt charge as much as the commercially available targets. We helped make a few toys for them, some they use some they can't.

How does the remote control work?

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but maybe Canada Targets and Galt can hook up to look into the possibility of hard/reactive targets as well. I'd be really interested in some ball park numbers and options.

We currently dont offer metal target and it would be some time before we would be getting into it. If Galt wants to Help you guys out with this that is fine. This thread can be used for that.

There is a thread for ar 500 targets you may want to check out. Matt has supplied several for our club and others that work very well.

To be fair though, it usually only happens when it's BBB for some reason.
