Steel Targets | AR500 and AR550 Steel Shooting Targets for Sale (2024)

Steel Targets are what we do, Here at Rogue Shooting Targets we literally have tons of steel targets in stock for just about everyone. You may choose to buy just a steel gong so you can make your own hanger or stand. We also have our steel target stands and steel target holders and even kits that have both the target stand and steel target so when it arrives, you can start shooting. Our AR500 and AR550 targets add a new experience to target shooting. With immediate feedback, the steel target will give the shooter instant gratification letting the shooter know if they hit their mark with both visual and audio confirmation. Even in a rapid series of shots the shooter will know if they hit or missed, unlike other target types. Hearing the hit on your target at long distances is very exciting and you spend less time inspecting targets and more time shooting. Metal targets have other advantages over traditional paper or cardboard targets when shooting in unfavorable conditions, as they are not greatly affected by rain or wind. All of our targets can be shot on either side as there are no brackets welded, allowing the shooter to get maximum use from targets and not being concerned with broken welds. Our targets are made to last thousands of rounds when used with proper cartridges.

A common question now days is why AR550 steel? Don’t most steel target manufacturers use AR500? Yes and Yes. In order to explain we need to go back in time when steel targets were primarily out of T-1 steel, it was because it was the best readily available material to use. As time went on materials evolved and we had a new “better” option, it was AR500 and it worked way better than the T-1 steel but still had issues with one of the most popular cartridges used, the 5.56, this cartridge was hard on the AR500 material at closer ranges and caused pits due to the high velocity of the projectiles, that may not have been a big concern if you were shooting a .17 Remington or a 22-250 but the 5.56 is probably the most widely used cartridge in the world. Law Enforcement Agency’s, Military, Competitive 3 gun shooters not to mention the general recreational shooter, they all love there AR 15 rifles and they are mostly chambered in 5.56, so what to do? Along came the next generation of material and it solves the long time problem with pitted steel targets, it is AR550 and it works well.

Our steel plates are all 100% domestic laser cut AR500 or better, they are NOT plasma cut to preserve the characteristics of the steel. After the targets have been laser cut they are washed in solvent to remove oils. They are shipped unpainted allowing you to paint whatever color you choose or not paint at all, some shooters prefer to just oil and shoot. After painting, the bullet impact will mark the target with a hit by blowing off the paint, just repaint and reuse. All of our target plates are designed to be used with both handgun and rifles.
