Howdy,
I'm interested in shooting steel. I've never heard that satisfying "PING" yet. I'm wondering if there are places, maybe the Evergreen Shooting Club has steel, nearby where I can find a place to shoot steel plates. Or if I should just buy some steel plates and head somewhere into the forest? |

There is a large steel target at ESC on the rifle range, but at this point it's pretty tired. However, ESC will let you use your own targets, so I'd encourage you to buy steel targets and take them to ESC.

I have one plate left and have a design to make it last longer. Should be able to get it done by spring. _________________ "I'm Hub McCann.

Yeah Matt, I suspect you're just goofing around....
 I think that original plate has set some kind of world record; I've never seen a piece of AR500 bend like that! _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Now time to find some. :) |
