[QUOTE="nateisw, post: 629033, member: 44189"] +1 for scrap metal. There's no reason to pay top dollar for something you're just going to shoot at. Go to a machine shop and see what they have lying around that they will sell you for a few bucks. They could probably even cut it to whatever size/shape you want and also drill a couple holes for you for hanging. That being said, generally, harder steel will last longer and will also give you a nicer "gong" sound when hit than softer steel will. And spray-painting the target will allow you to see exactly where on the plate you hit. Good luck bro! [/QUOTE]
