i just ran across an older hickok45 video with a tour of his range. Good stuff. He says he gets most of his targets from http://www.arntzentargets.com Looks pricey but good variety.

Here's the video if you haven't seen it. Interesting.

Yep. Good thread, though. A couple of usernames on the first page I havn't seen in a while.

Steel is fun and I used to enjoy it. But it is dangerous.

The OP in that thread is me:) The shrapnel is still in my arm by the way.

Never did it for pistols, but shooting steel is the best way to practice once you have a gun dialed in.  Way more fun and confidence building than paper targets. 

 

One shooting class I took in the Army, we used LaRue targets that came up a few seconds after you knocked them down, and they were awesome.  But they sure are pricey.  We were shooting at them with ball 5.56mm, and our instructors had us shoot from at least 75-100m back for safety purposes. 

 

 

This is one setup I saw at an infantry company's COP in Afghanistan.  Simple enough design to steal if you know someone who has the materials and tools.

Pfft...five years is nothing.  I've seen threads from 2000-2001 brought back to life on some sites so a new member can add in a "oh yeah, I was there when this happened" to a back-in-the-day story.
