I wish my range would let us shoot steel, they only allow steel during competitions, etc.
Recently banned unsupervised usage of steel targets, which I can kind of understand.
If you don't know what you're doing they can be dangerous since our action range is only 20 yards long.
I had seen people shooting it way too close and on horrible angles, I wish they had a training course though that let you shoot steel by yourself just like holster training, etc.
All we need is someone to start blasting steel at 5 yards and get clipped by a ricochet, enough people already trying to shut us down as it is so I understand their decision.
I've heard rumblings that the CFO is thinking of banning steel all together.

I hear that story a lot; many of the clubs that buy targets are only allowed to use them for supervised events. I'm experimenting with a line of rubber targets right now; like steel, they last a long time, can be used in any weather, but no ricochet risk. I'll be posting at length once I've tested them thoroughly.

Well, truth be told, I bought a 6"x6" steel from RR and while revolver shooting it at 25yds I noticed that proper sight alignment is key to getting a "ring". Any less than perfect center-front-post-in-the-rear-groove is a miss. Slight vertical misalignment is also a miss.
Compare this to shooting a paper target lots when one can't really figure out where the round go.
Hahahahaha this is the best ad I've seen in a long time. When I figure out which steel I need I'll be buying from you for sure
If only BTSA allowed steel
I survived the gun control scare of 2013 and all I got was this t-shirt.......
And 30 PMags, 5000 rounds of .223, 3000 rounds of 9mm, 5 BCG's, 5 stripped lowers, and a really pissed off wife.
