I had heard about people shooting at steel targets, and how much fun it is, and I had "watched" at Friday night steel at MCFG last month, but I had never shot at steel targets myself until last Saturday.
I only have one thing to say.
Shooting at steel is FUN!!
For those of you who haven't tried it, TRY IT! It makes shooting at paper targets seem... well I don't have a good analogy, but it hard to go back to it. My wife had never even seen anyone shoot at steel targets until last weekend as well and she was plinking them with her .22 rifle and she said we had to get some.
Now I'm not saying paper targets are worthless, and I fully intend to use them sometimes, but I DID get ahold of Bobcat Steel (because he's an INGO advertiser, and I met him at the last 1500) and I bought 3 different size targets for us. The way I look at it, you pay for them, and they're gonna last a long time, AND it's super fun!
Now I just need to build a stand!
Also, anybody have suggestions on what color to paint these bad boys?
