What target thickness do I need?

Target Selection and Use Guidelines

1/4" SR500+

Usage: Rimfire & Non-Magnum Handguns (.22LR, 9mm, .45 ACP etc)
Distance: 10+ yards
Energy Rating: Up to 500 ft-lbs at impact
Velocity Rating: Up to 3,000 fps at impact
Note: While this is rated for centerfire pistols, I recommend bumping up to 3/8" SR500+ if it's going to be for heavy centerfire pistol use.

3/8" SR500+

Usage: Handguns & Rifles (magnum pistols, .223, .308, .30-06 etc)
Distance: Handguns 10+ yards, Rifles 100+ yards
Energy Rating: Up to 3,000 ft-lbs at impact
Velocity Rating: Up to 3,200 fps at impact
Note: 3/8" SR500+ is the go-to target material for 95% of shooters and what I run on my personal range. If you're thinking that this material can't handle your rifle, remember that these ratings are at the point of impact and not at your muzzle. You just need to adjust your distance so the bullet loses enough energy to be bellow these thresholds. 

1/2" SR500+

Usage: Magnum Rifles (.300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua etc)
Distance: 100+ yards 
Energy Rating: Up to 4,000 ft-lbs at impact
Velocity Rating: Up to 3,200 fps at impact
Note: This is the go to target material for those of you who have magnum rifles and not enough range to get the target out there very far.

Gives New Life to Shooting Steel

Was surprised these came power coated! They add great fun to shooting steel. I used them to increase the fun factor in my NRL22 matches. EVERYONE likes to shoot these! Used them at 140 yards.

Striped Gopher is stepping up the game

We hung this little 7" target at 300 yards and intentionally placed it so the wind would give it a little motion. At only a few inches wide the 3/8' Striped Gopher is a great training tool for aim small miss small.

Small target. I think it is a good 100-300 yard target. Like all targets that comes from Brad it is top notch. Works well with a hanger from Brad. I have not had to pick up a target yet

True to life size

I got two of striped gopher targets for shooting 22LR and 17 HMR. These are true to life size of the ground squirrels I shoot in the Northwest. Great quality on the targets, and outstanding customer service. With an emphasis on INTEGRITY!! Which is rare these days.

Nice little critter

I purchased two of these. One in 1/4” for rimfire and another in 3/8” for my .243 and .308 at long range for the challenge. This little target will be a challenge at 200-300 yards. If you can consistently hit this at long range then you ready for any kind of varmint hunting. Brad has the best selection of animal targets found anywhere with realistic shapes. Most of the smaller animals are available in AR400 or AR500.

Fun Target

This is a fun little target! It provides a nice challenge at longer ranges, and gives very obvious feedback.

Tough enough, mostly.

Finally got good enough weather to get out and shoot these things. They ring nice and are pretty tough against regular .223 and pistol ammo. These are a tough shot to hit because of the size so everyone loved when they heard the ring. Had a blast shooting rifle and pistol at these all day.
One caveat is to make sure when firing at these that you aren't using steel tip ammo. We now have several of the 3/8" targets looking like someone used a hole punch on them. Not because the product is bad, but because I failed to check what I had in the mag before shooting them. Atlas warns you against shooting their products with steel tip and I can attest that it will not so well for the target if you do.
Upside is that Atlas will be getting another order for striped gopher targets to replace the ones I broke and downside is we have some targets that look a little funny with holes in strange places.

Nice targets. Having the hole above the target makes for nice shooting. Swings easily. Not much sound though.

Realistic challenging target.

This target is roughly 20% smaller than my old soft steel squirrel target. I enjoy the challenge. It's AR500 tough. It's very well cut, It's very detailed and realistic. So my first outing was fun. 185 yards with my original Winchester Low Wall .32 WCF with tang sight. A lot of hits and sent that Gopher-a spinnin! Thanks.
