Headed into the week like…

Shooting is a fun sport! Taking down your targets gives you a dopamine rush. However, it's time to level it up to the next stage, that is reactive targets are Stick N Shoot, shot seeker, and Threat Down Targets. Yes, taking down something stationary is old-fashioned. Taking down something moving and extremely reactive is a challenge.

Training with Stick N Shoot - Reactive Targets for shooting will combine mental and physical training and help to increase accuracy, reaction time, and coordination. Here are some of the advantages of training with Reactive Shooting targets.

Increases Precision

Reactive targets demand a lot of precision. They provide the opportunity to shoot the target to the ground and allow the users to train their impulses. You need to be super focused to take it down.

They are Available in Realistic Shapes

Some Reactive targets are also available in humanoid shapes that reflect the doctrine that we are not shooting but fighting with a gun. It provides better training for the shooter and helps in the real world.

Improves Target Identification

Stick N shoot Targets can be directly pasted on the reactive targets. It helps the shooter to focus on a particular region like the face or chest, and take the target down. Train in Any Weather

Most reactive targets are of Steel or other hard material, unlike paper or cardboard. You get to train even in the rain. Steel or plastic-based reactive targets do not absorb water, so they will stay unaffected.

Stick Faces on it

Hate your boss?? Then you can stick their picture in the humanoid reactive targets and take it down. You can also attach real terrorist pictures of the target and take them down. It helps in achieving a realistic aspect of training.

Conclusion

Shooting practice with steel targets is a delight. The echoing "PING" sound and the occasional sparks will make your day! 

But all this is fun only if you choose the proper steel targets for shooting. The steel target is supposed to dent. If it were to crack, chip, flake, or deform inconsistently, the bullets will ricochet and even send them flying in all directions, even toward you! 

Did not mean to scare you, but this is the truth! So, how can you choose steel targets? Here are three things to check before finalizing your Steel target for shooting. 

1)Steel hardness

Steel hardness is a must. It is the essential quality of a steel target. AR steel is available in Brinell Hardness Levels from AR350-AR700. 

You might want to note this part: Lower the number, the softer the steel and Higher the number the steel targets become brittle.

So as a middle ground, you can always choose AR500 steel targets! They have the perfect balance of strength and rigidity.

Flat Surface 

The Steel shooting targets should have a flatter surface. This rule is carved in stone! 

It's crucial to keep it that way. If it has any bumps or dents, there is a high chance that the bullets may fly in unpredictable directions. Also, ineffective steel welding creates soft areas on the steel that can crater or pock. So always make sure that the surface is flat! 

Boarding Angle

The steel target's angle affects how the bullet responds. Here are three angles that are chosen for boarding AR500 steel shooting targets.

90º ANGLE - The splatter is distributed evenly in a circular shape

15º ANGLE - Ideal for most shooting. The splatter is directed down, and the target faces down

45º ANGLE - Apt for closer range and shooting with powerful ammunition

Just remember, the steeper the angle, the more splatter is directed toward the ground, and more energy is dissipated.
