I have been thinking of building a hang down plate setup where the plates will stick up until you hit the " reset target " as well as making a couple silhouette idpa type targets out of steel for my private range.
I posted an ad online looking for steel to save myself a little money, I got a reply from a guy that has some 1/4 and 3/8" steel plates, 22" X 39" plates, 8 of them for an unbeatable price ( 85 bucks ). My question is, is that strong enough to take hits from a 22lr or 9mm?
I shoot alot of 22lr and quite a bit of 9mm, I didnt know if it was strong enough or not, I have a guy that can cut it for me so no problems there.
