We have a tactical steel range on private ground all of the targets are hung from chain with a four to six inch bolt. The bolt makes the target hang at an angle deflecting the rounds to the ground as they breakup. Most target suppliers advise this setup to extend the life of the target. I also advise anyone I sell steel targets to rotate the target once and awhile if not they will bow after extended time of shooting. We engage our 1/2" ar500 targets as close as 50 yards with 5.56 with little to no marking on the targets other than loss of paint.
