I don't remember, it was one of the first targets on the new range 9 years ago, but I did a quick Look on Amazon and this looks like what I have https://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Stand-Target/dp/B00JVX4JB8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

You build as time and money allows. I had a much smaller rang at my old house, what few targets I had were the start of this range. It took a couple years to get to this state. The top targets are only about 35 yards from the shooting deck and I can get about 60 yards from the portable shooting bench. I have a public range about 15 miles away for longer distances and really noisy shooting. I'm still mostly on original steel because I try to minimize really high velocity stuff that would damage the steel, partially because of the distance and I want to stay a good neighbor. If I shoot the big loud stuff like .223/5.56/30-30, I try to limit to 10 or less rounds to zero in a scope or site. I replaced the green targets to the left of the top targets when I hit it with .223 remembering it as AR500 steel and it wasn't and almost put holes all the way through. I replace with AR500 steel. I replaced a couple of my early steel targets with thicker when they started to get a little dished. You may not be able to tell but one of the yellow targets part way up is a spinner that a friend made for me. I have thought about asking him to make a couple more. And the big red target to the far right is a spinner with an inner spinner, it is fun to try and spin the inner and not the outer. I have one spot part way up that needs a target but haven't seen what I want yet. I'm thinking another target within a target so you can tell when you hit where you should but still get feedback for near missis. Took me awhile to find good target paint, was just buying cheap stuff and the coverage was bad. Then I found https://www.rangestore.net they have target paint that has more pigment and it covers better, Not cheap but goes further. If you get one of there sampler packs it lets you try a few colors. I ended up splitting a couple of cases of the colors I liked with my son to get the cheaper price.

That's what the photo was labeled and was in Viet Nam, I wasn't sure so I didn't label the post.

I also use https://shootingtargets7.com for probably 90% of my steel and would probably go 100% now. I had a few targets before I found shootingtargets7. I color code my targets since the thick steel doesn't ring well when hit with a .22. My Red targets are .22 only, Yellow is for handguns and carbines, Green is for pretty much anything I own. Obvious all of them can be used for .22. I have a hill going up into a thick forest behind the house so my range is scattered on the hill and form a natural backstop. I shoot from my back deck, so I'm shooting down at the closer targets plus all of them are tilled to deflect down. I find the rubber mulch that Aldi's puts on sale most every spring to be good cover for under targets. This is my 10 yard target. I know it seems close but I'm probably 10 feet or more above the target. This is my longer targets. These pictures were taken about 4 years ago so the trees have grown up a lot. I have to keep up with the trimming. I also have a place for paper targets beside the 10 yard target and at the upper Green targets for zeroing in site. I have a portable shooting bench I can setup down the drive away to get longer shots to the upper green targets but seldom us it. I also have a rimfire dueling tree that I bring out once in awhile. Hope this gives you some ideas, feel free to ask questions.

Not watching but if I was, I would watch National Desk coverage. They are on the Sinclare Network and live stream on YouTube.
