toby9946 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just wondering if there are any ranges in the south of the country that have steel targets at varying ranges? I know Scotland and Wales do but was wondering if there is anything out there closer to home. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimmie Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I have done, I have a set of small AR500 gongs. Only 50-100mm and can only really get out to 200 yards safely. 200 yards is child’s play for a .204 honestly. In regards to damage, it doesn’t touch the my AR500 gongs.

Re-Pete Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Bisley have a steel bison (or similar ruminant) at around 7-800yds..............what's the attraction of steel as opposed to paper, the clang? Re-Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miseryguts Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I use AR500 gongs in various guises and sizes, but always been a bit cautious since I saw this........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
