[QUOTE="MagMan, post: 270085, member: 966"] I recently purchased a 4'x8' sheet of 1/2" AR500. Actually I split it with another guy. Now I'm left wondering what sizes I should cut. What I was planning on doing was mounting square plates on 2x4's with carriage bolts that were firmly planted in the ground. With as many targets as I plan on having I don't want to mess with frames/swingers. My range has tall grass everywhere so spotting shots that have missed their targets is difficult. I also take quite a few new shooters (new to long range) out so the extra target size is a bonus for them. If my sizes seem a bit on the large side this is why. This is what I was thinking for a 4'x4' sheet. (2) 18x18" for 1k+ (3) 16x16" for 700-1k (2) 14x14" for 500-700 (2) 10x14" & (2) 9x12" for 500 and less I currently have 12" plates out to 700 and 14" past that but they are riddled with holes and falling off their posts. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
