What AR500 targets do you want?

Quoting myself,how cheesy is this,lol
Actually was only half kidding about elephant.I see another Alberta AR 500 target maker here actually made a life size moose for either Hinton or Edson gun range,can't recall??
All fun aside,I'd vote for duelling tree kits as well....and some reasonably priced 16" plates.....he'll,reasonably priced anything for that matter,damn steel targets seem to be priced rediculous for the most part for something I can p/u at scrapyard.
 
After using lots of 3/8" targets for rifles, I'm a pretty big advocate of 1/2" thick targets. 1/4" for pistols is fine, actually more fun as they move more. There will always be a market for various sizes of square 1/2' (rifles) or 1/4" (pistol) targets with holes in them to hang.


I'm mostly interested in some sort of dueling tree even if it only has a 3 targets on each side. Or one of the "sniper vs hostage" targets that has a round target behind a IPSC target, so you have to whack the round one to the other side.

I think that's a good idea, and would throw some $ into one.

I'm definitely in agreement with some of the other people posting here in that I've always found steel targets too pricey for something I can get free from work. I keep thinking about buying some, and then always back off at the last minute.
 
The ipsc full size plates, circle plates, fyi no need to paint them and make them look fancy. Keep the prices down
 
I think the "hostage" ones are pretty cool and maybe less elaborate/costly than a dueling tree

There are a few cool designs

all you need for a cheap tree is just the plates, then buy piping and a piece of angle iron to hold them, cut n weld in place, compete with your buddies. in the states you can get the dueling tree plates for 15-20 bucks each spo cost of a full setup would be 100$ or so
 
I don't have a lot of experience but I remember at TMSA they had some cool ones that were just at ground level. The circles were maybe 5 inches in diameter.
They had them out for the SIG Sauer days shoot a few years ago that another site sponsor hosted. From what I recall, they were reactive.

I know, this isn't useful. Canam. You build it and we will come. :cool:

Dueling trees would be cool too.

Unless the angle iron is also ar500, I'm not a fan.
