Looks great. Can hardly wait until spring to break it in.
I purchased these prairie dog targets for a more portable option. They are reasonably sized, light weight, well-priced, and they easily stab into the ground once I get to the range. The quality is definitely there, and they are a fun plinking option that I use with .22 to 9mm.
I've been practicing for a up coming Prarie Dog hunt. These worked out great. Set them at 150, 200, and 300 yards to learn range estimate based on a 15" height. Your product was easy to assemble and performed perfectly.
Bought a set of these to practice on. Should have bought 2 or 3 sets to make it even more realistic.
I bought several of these guys about 6 months ago. There was an issue related to a change made to the design and as a result one of my spring bases was for a slightly different pattern of prairie dog. Brad went above and beyond and got everything squared away for me so I could get to shoot and shoot them I have.
I am really bad at leaving reviews but these little varmints continue to impress enough that I felt compelled. I have no clue how many rounds these things have taken but it is into the thousands. Mostly pistol and 22 but some rifle (.223, .30-30, even a few 45-70s on the 1/2 inch one). They make an awesome slap when getting hit with a .44 but take no damage from them. Really nicely detailed cut as well and no sharp edges or spurs with solid hardware so less-than-great shots aren't going to destroy the stand. I get a few plates every year to continually expand the range and will definitely be considering more Atlas targets in the future.
I haven’t used the targets yet but the shipping was super fast. Great looking targets.
I've used Brad's targets on multiple occasions and have used multiple types of his targets, stands and holders. Damn good product at a damn good price, with super fast shipping.
Bought two of the 15 inch targets. Shot them at 250 yards and 345 yards with:
-6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain SSTs
-22-250 with hot 50gr hand loads going just over 4000fps at the muzzle
-223 fmj and vmax
-308 150 grain SP and FMJ
Paint chipped off which is expected but very minimal dimpling even with the 22-250 which has put good sized divots in AR500 at extended ranges. Springs are strong and give a good feedback when the targets are hit solidly. Lots more fun than shooting a square steel plate!
This was my third purchase from Brad over the last two years. As always, shipping was fast, packaging superb. These are fantastic, easy portability, quick set up and takedown. Workmanship and quality is EXCELLENT! Thank you very much Brad!
Great quality, fast delivery. I would highly recommend.
Used it this weekend and it worked awesome. Used a 17hmr and saw zero damage. Can’t wait to try it with some larger calibers. Make me want to set up a whole dog town at different ranges.
Which thickness 3/8 or 1/2 for 204 ruger and 223 rem, shooting 75 yards to 300 yards ? Thank you in advance for your time and answer !
3/8" is what you want although make sure that .204 is only used at a range the bullet is impacting the target below 3,000 fps. That is a very fast round and will significantly dimple the steel if used too close.
