Cool build! If the targets are just regular mild steel and you’re shooting them with something more powerful than a 22 they’ll get munched pretty quick. If you were to sell them people might want AR500 steel targets

Thanks. Yeah some of them are just 1/8 inch mild and some are 3/8.

Curious, how hard would AR500 be to cut? I'm assuming an angle grinder with a diamond disc would be pretty difficult. Plasma cutter?

Just wondering if getting a larger sheet would even be feasible.

I’ve personally never done it. Luckily my shooting buddies leave their steal targets at my house in exchange for using my range. I found this thread about it on an off road forum I used to frequent. Sounds like it’s doable with a plasma but it will make the edges of the target brittle from the heat.

LoL I love the response of someone posting a picture of a hacksaw to combat the heat of a plasma cutter 😁 thanks for the info.
