I just finished my pistol range and am thinking of getting some Bobcat steel targets. How close can you be to the target and still be safe? I haveonly shot a steel target once and was about 150 yards away. I would like to shoot handguns as close as possible. .357 magnum is probably the most powerful I would be shooting. Also some 9mm, 40 S&W, and .22 rimfire.
Is there anything else I should consider shooting at steel versus paper?
