At the North Springs Shooting Range where I will be running my Designated Marksman course this month, there are hundreds upon hundreds of steel targets. I think they have 400 18" steel plates alone. The 1000yd, 600yd, 300yd, and 100yd ranges have tons of steel on them, as does the cowboy action village, & LE training center.
The have hunting ranges filled with every 3D target you could imagine, from rodents to dinosaurs. They have a maintenance shack where steel target fabrication and repair can be done as well. Everything is AR500. They spent something like $5.4 million on the range. I haven't really seen any ranges like it in my life.
There's a whole other portion to it that I won't describe because I want it to be a surprise for those attending the DM Course, but needless to say, it's a very cool range complex.
If you have simple poppers, you can mount a spring to the back of them to get them to auto-reset.
