So glad i found Brad's website. Me and my family purchased 12 targets from him and love it.. Communication and shipping was fast! We will be adding more pieces to come from Atlas in the near future
It's a well made economical plate rack. I would have preferred a 1/4 option as I'm only shooting it with 9mm and .22.
I finally have access to my yard after the snow finally melted. I put together my plate rack with ease. All components were of great quality. I will update after several hundred rounds, but so far I am digging it!
Super awesome to have a truly portable plate rack with falling plates. Easy to transport, easy to set up, easy to use, and high quality. I also hang rifle gong targets below the falling plates, making this a truly multi-use target system. If you don’t live or own land where you can leave a permanent plate rack set up, but have a place you can shoot your own steel targets, this is an absolute must have. You won’t regret it.
Well made and designed for poor man’s version of plate rack. This system is perfect for shooters who want to have a portable plate rack that one person can handle and set up. You can’t do the same with heavy all metal plate racks.
Brad got my rack delivered next day when he found out I would need it for a family shoot a few days after purchase. Most personable customer service you will find today!
Exactly as described.
I was given this plate rack system for Christmas from my wife, when she received the box in the mail it was damaged and missing plates. She got in contact with Brad and received excellent support, he made evert right. When I heard of this I was amazed on how much he went over the top on making things right. Now for the target review, I run a variety of calibers \ loads on these plates and they work great. If your trying to knock these down with light loads either build up the front or cut the back legs shorter. Either way it is very easy to tune in it in to what you need in resect to a response. If your wondering I run anything from a 120 PF to a 170 PF with no issues. Will be buying from them in the future.
thank you

Purchased this rack for my Gun Club. We run Centerfire and Rimfire monthly steel plate matches with static steel, pepper poppers, Texas Star etc. Assembled this and tried it last night. In upright position the Rimfire hits were tough to see. Being 3/8 plates I expected that. Using 9mm, some plates when hit off to the side would cause that bracket to twist on the 2x4 and not go down.
The hanging position is where this really shines. Reaction with 9mm was good and even Rimfire hits could be seen, making scoring easy. Will be ordering a second set.
Product is very well made, thou the brackets that the 2x4 goes into leans left to right not sure anything can be done about that maybe put shims in were the 2x4 goes. Also 9mm had trouble knocking the plates over unless you hit them towards the top. It would be nice if different size plates would fit these brackets instead of having to buy a whole another setup. Also wish you have a set that had plates that are 4 inches in diameter and a 1/4 inch thick to used with rim fire.
Overall well made product and should last a very long time.
I was looking around the web for steel targets and came across Atlas. Awesome that they are built right here in South Dakota. Really reasonably priced and great quality. Highly recommended to anyone looking to shoot steel.
Haven't shot yet but these are built like a brick you-know-what. The part that is welded has an overlapping metal structure and the welds look beautiful. I purchased a shooting rack from another company years ago and the welds looked poor and that rack fell apart at the welds after 3 years of use. I think these will last a LONG time!
Really fun to shoot. Built well, easy to tear down and take with you, which is nice. Also like that these can work hanging, or set upright to tip over. Was a first timer to steel targets, and they really are a blast to shoot. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to try steel targets.
They arrived and I put them together without issue and gave this product an initial rating of 16 stars. I was quite disappointed that Brad didn't send a photo of his face for me to shoot at (-3 stars). Overall I find these targets aesthetic and very durable, however they don't go "ting" every time i shoot at them, only when you actually hit them...which is disappointing (-8 stars). As a result I am forced to only give this rack a 5-star rating. If Brad can just fix the intermittent "ting" problem and this will make a really solid product.
Took these out yesterday and they worked flawlessly. Was not exactly on level ground, cut the rear legs about 6" shorter to lean the plates more upright. Had a novice shooters blowing down plates all day, it was great.
Even though USPS went AWOL with my package for like 2 weeks. It got here and I was able to assemble it in about 10 mins. Taking it to the range time now. Its superb quality and easy to put together. To top it off the customer service is wonderful.
i love it so far the only problem is that the 9 mm 124 gr doesnt knock the plate over unless you hit the very top The plates may be tilting too far forward do you have any suggestions
Thanks for the feedback Joseph. I typically shoot 115 grains and although a real low hit wont flip it back it doesn't sound like I've had the same problem. I've never tried this but in theory you should be able to cut your front conduit legs a little longer so the entire target is angled back more which should make it easier to flip the targets. Best guess is start witht he front legs 6' longer. I'll play around with mine and see if I can't get a solid # for you.
Very nice product as with all atlas stuff I use atlas for our 3gun targets for our matches at white horse in West Virginia everything product we have used holds up well and functions perfect. Great work by atlas.
