Hello all. I grew up around guns (my grandfather & father had over 100) and have enjoyed shooting them but my life has taken me to large cities and overseas so owning my own has been impossible until recently.
I now have a bit of property with a few places I could set up, up to about ~150 yards with a backstop.
Shooting Interests:
Self defense
Africa Safari
Hog hunting
Skeet/trap
3 Gun
What makes this difficult for me (I think) is that whatever I buy needs to be able to withstand rounds from a Barrett M99, S&W 500, Win 70 .458, and 10 gauge, along other more sane rounds.
I'm thinking steel targets; I prefer the ones that flip back and forth (fall down not desired as I don't want to always be walking) but also some gongs maybe, but really not sure where to start. Maybe at 10, 25, 50, and 150 yards?
Suggestions on targets / distances / placements / brands welcome!
