Stop Guessing Your Steel Setup

If you’ve ever tried to figure out what steel targets you actually need… you already know how that goes. You go on a deep dive trying to understand each target system and it's qualities, only to end up more confused on what system is best for YOU.

Most people will then end up guessing and buying something to "try out" before finding a system right for them. We wanted to take the guesswork out of steel targets.

That’s exactly why we built the Target Selection Assistant.

What It Is

The Target Selection Assistant is a simple tool that gives you a solid recommendation based on your actual setup. All you need is 30 seconds to answer 3 questions based around your range and it will spit out it's top recommendations for you.

You answer...

What are you using the targets for?

 #1: What are you using the targets for?

What is the maximum caliber being used?

 #2: What is the maximum caRTRIDGE being used?

What is your available shooting distance?

 #3: What is your available shooting distance?

That’s it. In less than 30 seconds, you’ll get a few recommendations that actually make sense for what you’re doing.

Find Your Setup

Why We made this software

Steel isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works great for a pistol at 10 yards is a terrible idea for a rifle at 100. And what holds up on a private range might not last a week on a public one.

Your setup distance, caliber, and how often you shoot will make a difference with...

  • How thick your steel needs to be
  • How long it’s going to last
  • Whether it’s safe to shoot

The mistake people most commonly make

After working with everyone from first-time buyers to big names and law enforcement groups, the same issues keep popping up:

Not understanding distance ratings

When distance ratings are not understood, targets can get chewed up way sooner than expected. This tool helps with understanding the distances to ensure your plates will fall under warranty.

Buying cheap steel

 Some say steel is just steel... but that couldn't be further from the truth. Steel made from cheap materials is not the same and will not hold up like properly sourced and spec'd steel.

Buying Novelty Products

Novelty steel targets are great... until they prematurely wear out and get damaged. We create legacy steel targets that are meant to be passed on through generations (we aren't kidding, check out our 1/2" A-DAP systems). Knowing your objectives helps us recommend the best products for your range.

This software is built off real experience... what we’ve seen hold up, what fails, and what actually works depending on the situation. There are also built-in guardrails, so it won’t recommend something that doesn’t make sense (or isn’t safe).

Works no matter your skill level

If you’re brand new, this saves you from going down a rabbit hole. If you’ve been shooting for years, it just speeds things up and helps you dial things in faster. Either way, it gets you to a setup that works.

You can keep guessing… or you can get a solid answer in under 30 seconds.
