    Keep it raw steel then people can use there own colours when they paint it themselves but I would sandblast the stands making paint stick better. I don’t enjoy playing with rusty steel setting up then going to handle a few thousand dollar rifle.

    I voted paint continues as is. Though I can understand why raw dogging it is popular.

    Bureaucracy not an instrument of democratic government but, on the contrary, the worst enemy of freedom and democracy.
    If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only applies to the poor.

    I've ordered from you guys before, and you have a great product. As to the paint, I can't say it would make much of a difference to me. I suppose I would slightly prefer a minimal bit of paint on it so I can find them if I put them in the wrong spot before I paint them myself, but my feelings wouldn't be hurt if you just didn't paint them.

    I am a satisfied customer of yours with quite a few products. My vote: raw metal the targets, ugly prime the stands. I over coated your primer on the stands with colors to match my area, almost a camo green on top and brown on the bottom, so the stands disappear. I use your targets for a lot of iron sights and peep sights shooting. The actual targets I repaint ultra bright orange with a black ring 1/2 the size of the target using a stencil I made out of a scrap of arborite sheet.

    The targets get repainted after every use but I don't think I have done the stands since the day I first painted them.

    Raw steel and increase production - lower costs

    Really dont understand why people would complain about the paint appearance when the very first time you use the product you shoot the damn paint off!
    Keep them raw....but if they rust then just keep doing the ugly paint job.

    I'd say sell unpainted and have an optional "add paint for X amount", obviously on the painted ones you'd want it done well though since people are paying extra for it.
