[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 92876, member: 1290"] It depends on distance and caliber. Something that would stand up to 300 Wby as close as 400 yards is 1" thick mild steel. The trouble with heavy plate is it doesn't make much of a clang. It makes a good "whack" sound. Armor plate you can get by with a lot thinner. I think it would be fun to get some heavy school or church bells to shoot at. Something you can hear better with your hearing protection on way out there. Here is a picture of the 500 yard gong we practice on. We practice how we hunt. [img]http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7685/10008112kz.jpg[/img] This one measure 8" wide by 10" tall. [/QUOTE]
