Plate racks are a favorite target of many shooters but the reality is that the high cost and bulk keeps them out of reach for most people. We wanted to create an option for our customers that allowed them to enjoy some of the best parts of a plate rack without the hassle and the cost. Our poor mans plate rack does just that at a price that won't break the bank.

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.

Poor man's plate rack

I had a problem with a lost delivery. I contacted brad and he sent another one free of charge. This is a great tool for accuracy at the range. Very well built and will buy from atlas again. Remember that quality costs a little up front. Buy once, cry once!

Love the simplicity of it. Very easy to load / stack in truck bed and easier to unload too! Have not shot it yet.

Amazing customer service!

This company's customer service is above and beyond! I ordered the 8" Poor Man's Plate Rack for my husband's birthday. While in transit the package was damaged and the contents lost. Brad was so wonderful. He immediately sent it out again, and it even arrived in time for my husband's birthday. Not only did he re-ship it, he also wrote and confirmed it's delivery! They are amazing! Also, my husband has already taken them out and he loves them!

Great Value

Just go to the hard wear store and grab 4x6’ galvanized pipes and have them cut a 16’ 2x4 in half and you are good to run.

poor man's plate rack for poor man

Poor man's plate rack is a great option for those of us on a budget that still enjoy shooting steel. Hits are easily seen via splash on tgt and audible sound and actually more convenient than resetting plates each time. A great system for those of us who spend our money stock piling essentials like ammo and apparently shit paper.

Reloading Costs going up

Finally got down to my farm to set up my plate rack. Loved it.Everything worked like a charm. Thanks so much to Brad for a wonderful product.
Deer archer season is in, here in Ohio. The plates were a little rough on broad heads.

Poor mans plate rack and 2x4 hangers.

Items were exactly as described. Shipping was fast. Target plates have been to the range multiple times and are holding up great. The mounts for 2x4's are easy to use. Would recommend to others.

Poor Man'sPlate Rack Better than a Rich Man's Plate Rack

This is a great system, easy to set up with conduit and a 10' 2x4. The hook system from Atlas is the best. I have a lot of other 8" plates and none of them ring as loud as the plates from Atlas, but that is all because of the hooks that are free hanging and limit the contact area between the hook and the plate. This is definitely Atlas' "secret sauce". After the first weekend with this, I got home and ordered a bunch more stuff from Atlas. Very pleased with this.

Poor man’s plate rack

Shipping was quick...arrived in only a couple of days. Picked up a 8’ 2”x4” and 2 sticks of 3/4” conduit cut them in half. Easy to set up...fun ass hell to shoot at!

A VERY HAPPY CAMPER

Best portable metal targets I encountered in a while... talking about portability and ease of handling, (set up and break down) This is one of the component of my outdoors FUN. Brad is easy to deal with, he gave me a slack on the price for a first time buyer and he is prompt. With my discount I was able to procure all the hardware to complete the set, and seriously, still have enough change to buy a drink and a sandwich. Job well done, my two thumbs up. I highly recommend this product to anyone who might be looking one or two. Atlas Target Works is second to none. I'm sure will order more of his awesome products.

Amazing

The poor man's plate rack is one of the best investments I've done to improve my shooting! Let it do!

Outstanding

Excellent product and service. Targets were shipped immediately and arrived in Arizona 2 days later. Despite the best efforts of USPS to destroy the package, it arrived safe and intact. Superior workmanship, smooth edges and nicely painted. Very nice sound quality allows audio confirmation of hits, and the targets move freely and allow an easy visual confirmation as well. I have only used pistol calibers so far, but after 1800 rounds over the last month, the plates still look like new once they have been repainted. Brad's videos are very informative and to the point. Excellent customer service and prompt follow-up. Brad has earned my business on my future steel target purchases. Very highly recommended.

Awesome

The pooran plate rack is so much fun. I have a half 10" and half 8" and the 10" are great for fast target practice. I use to use a rubber dummy also but after 500 rounds on the poor man rack and targets that don't ring are just not satisfactory. Paint was great but it's all pretty much gone and I doubt I'll repaint them. Splatter at 6 yards is non existent it gets dispersed well. Set up is less than 2 min literally by your self. I'm ordering a ispc place tomorrow and will use the hangers to have more options. I will never order targets anywhere else.

Great quality for the price!

Used it once since I purchased the poor mans plate rack, in no way or form is the quality for a poor man. Metal plates are constructed well, very audible when I was using my pistol at 15 yards 9mm. The plate hooks and leg hooks slides perfectly on a 2x4. Brad shipped my product same day and got it in 2 days, very responsive to calls also. Thanks Brad for this product for people who can’t afford those very expensive plate racks!

Great product!

I really like the poor mans platerack - it’s easy to setup, adjust targets and targets are rugged - I have used 22lr, 357 magnum and 6.5 creedmoor with no issues.

Excellent Plate Rack

The Poor Mans Plate Rack is an excellent product. Works as described. I have used it twice now and have shot more than 1500 rounds at it with no problems. Surprisingly you dont hit the wood very often and when you do its not very destructive with 9 - 40 caliber projectiles. My original 2x4 will make a lot of trips before it needs replacing which was my only concern. Its a really fun target to shoot at and nobody can resist its allure. I highly recommend this product. Shipping is fast and customer service is great.

Great plate rack

Super easy to set up. Ships fast. All around a great purchase to add to your training or just for fun. The plates have a solid ring to them. Easy to hear when your shooting at distance. I would recommend this plate rack to anyone of my family and friends.

Great product and customer service

I could not give higher marks to a company serving the competitive shooter. Often times when I buy something for my hobby I am left a bit disappointed by the lack of customer service. Not the case with Brad and Atlas Target. He is extremely attentive and his follow up leaves nothing to be desired. I purchased the "poor mans plate rack" an it is a well worth the money. You can't piece this together yourself for less.

Best Plate Rack For The Money!!

The poor mans plate rack is exactly what I was looking for, a multi target that is affordable! The poor mans rack came very well packaged and was simple to set up. So far myself and several friends have put well over 1k rounds of pistol at this rack and everything has held up very well. All the steel (targets, brackets, and leg holders) are very high quality and built solid. I am still on the first 2x4 that I mounted the brackets too also, and it has taken many rounds. I am very pleased with the poor mans rack and will be getting more soon. Thank you ATLAS TARGET WORKS!!!!!
