Targets?

Post by steveyacht »

I am a total newbie to this sport, don't even have a small bore rifle yet. I am looking to get started within as reasonable a budget as I possibly can. Being as there is no RF silhouette ranges (that I am aware of) anwhere near the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina, I and a couple of friends, are totally on our own. I would like to find place where I can purchase steel targets, at a reasonable price. I am also looking for an alternative to steel in a paper target that can be used for practice. Is there anyplace that sells the silouettes printed on paper? Good for a one man day at the range?

Being as I will be nearly solo in my efforts, I will appreciate any and all help in my endeavors!!

Thanks, Steve

You can get regular targets from Ray Schaffer,right by you in NC http://www.raystargets.rgpservices.com/Ray2.html

And Paper ones or ones you can print on your PC from a few places including the the NRA
but here is what I think is one of the best sources of information and targets to print

You may want to think about swingers too. Not as fun as shooting free standing animals, but it is great practice and you don't have to reset or build target stands.

They also sell regular targets for $80 for a set of 5 of each animal (20 total). This is technically a "half-set" because there aren't a full 10 of each animal.

At Action Target, we manufacture a variety of steel targets - all made from AR500 or AR550 steel. Some of our most popular targets are the Evil Roy Practice Target and our Dueling Trees. While shooting on steel has a bigger up-front cost, they provide more effective training because they provide immediate feedback and help condition the shooter's responses. They also last a long time, so eventually you recuperate your costs.

For paper target needs we recommend LETargets.com - they have a lot of products to choose from and great prices.
