That stuff is all mild steel. That's what I've been led to believe anyway.
what distance are you guys with handguns shooting metal at?
On AR 500 I normally shot at 10ish yds. On mild steel Id stay back a long ways.
I personally witnessed my friend take some blow back in his arm when shooting a BobCat Steel Dueling Tree at 10 yards. He still has the shrapnel in his arm. We since have moved it out to 20 yards at minimum.
We have had issues with the tree, paddles broken at the pivot point, however Bobcat has been very good at backing their product.
Ive taken blow back, Im more concerned about a bullet that didnt shatter comming back
Good news, A company with quality product has a good target on sale,

How many of these do you own?
I just ordered this one but the club owns a couple more of the other style and they have held up better than the one's I've bought locally
So I'm basing the longevity of this target on the performance of other targets we currently own from the company.
My data is empirical over a small sample size so I can't vouch for the overall market saturation and relative quality vs. all manufactures on the market.
Has there been an offered explanation how the Bobcat Steel targets from the Martinsville Conservatioin Club haven't held up?
Were they abused by folks using too high caliber than that which they were designed for (Thin AR400 "rimfire" targets being shot with up-caliber rifle bullets, for example?) Or Thinner AR500 "handgun" targets being used with up-caliber bullets? Abuse =/= use.
I know SEVERAL INGOers would be quite interested in hearing just how the Bobcat didn't hold up - when it's the first issue I've read/heard about. Including Bobcat that's been shot with .50 BMG and all kinds of their products that's held up phenomenally out at MCF&G's Friday Night Steel shoots. Let alone all the rounds that lovemywoods' targets have taken.
Please, x10, please describe for us what issues were had with the targets.
