Is there any shotgun steel target I can buy and bring to outdoor range?

I have seen some people brought their own steel target to bring to TMSA for practice in the rifle range. I wanna see if I can bring steel target and bring it to the public range. IFF I am allowed to do so which would be good candidate? Basically I wanna be able to shoot and shoot not worry about resetting the paper target until I am done. For pistol practice paper target is fine but for shotgun they got totally destroyed within like 3 shots and I don't wanna be the annoying guy who calls ceasefire a lot. I know the same public range in TMSA has steel target for pistol on the far right hand side. Would something like this work for shotgun as well? I never shot steel with shotgun btw so I dunno if this is ok to do.

If this will work please tell me which ones I can get and which store has something like this. I will confirm with the range and see if I can buy some.
 
First off, check with the club to see what is allowed, and at what distances. At our club you may use your own gong provided it has been approved(it has to go in the bunker they have provided), and you may not be allowed slugs at 25yds. They may also require some kind of shroud around the plate if it isn't in the bunker
 
Ridgedale does not allow steel targets.

I have my own stand made from ABS pipe, rebar anchor weights and wood strapping uprights. I have hooks that screw into the strapping then run a horizontal bar through the hooks that I hang old, dry, empty paint cans from.

They are strong, head sized, survive many rounds of birdshot and move when hit.

The range rules allow shooting cans so I am good to go as long as my shot doesn't hit the ground and instead hits the backstops.

Eventualy the wood strapping uprights break from stray shot but they are cheap and easy to replace.

Have used ss fry pans from Value Village for hanging steel, quality vs reliability

I like the abs stands, I use sand in mine and 2x4 ripped in thirds for posts
