[QUOTE="Robbin, post: 336736, member: 12246"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I have 4 of different sizes, but it's frustrating when you back up and don't hit the steel and don't know where it went. I would make them as large as you can, and shoot at paint spots. I used home grown targets made of regular steel for a while but didn't like them because they don't GONG very well and the face becomes badly beaten, making it difficult to see hits at 600 or more yards.
