So firstly, I'm going to try and build an outdoor range with targets at 50, 100, 200, and perhaps 300 yards out on property with a backstop etc.
I want to use a variety of steel targets. My first obvious question is what brand do you guys recommend?
I've already read about the need for AR500 steel etc.
Lastly, I'm worried about rust, and how well the targets will hold up to inclement weather out in the middle of nowhere. This range will sit dormant in the winter for long period of time getting wet with snow and rain (and little to no use especially in the winter).
If I use Rustoleum or a different/similar product, will steel shooting targets hold up to the outdoor weather or rust badly if painted over? What are the experiences and advice you guys have on this topic?
As always, you guys are the best!
