Product Review - Lazer Targets - Target Stand and Steel Plates.
After building several wooden stands for paper targets to use at the local club, I wanted to diversify our target options. Shooting steel has always been fun but didn't want to spend the money on the shipping fees. Another member referred me to a local start up called Lazer Targets, conveniently they are on the east side and I was able to test out one of the 10"x10" 3/8" AR500 rated steel plate. The plate has taken hits from .22 all the way up to 7.62x54 out of a moisin at 45-50 yards only leaving a small dent.
Being happy with the quality I ordered some other plates 10x13" 3/8" AR500, and several 1/4" Pistol rated targets 2/3 IPSC Silhouette, and 8" round plates. Laser Targets recently designed and produced a portable all steel target stand, the stand is set up with a 3 piece base and an upright with a head that will mount the plates at an angle for bullet deflection. The stand is approximately 53" tall and is made of the same 1/4" steel used for the pistol rated targets so it could take some abuse. At one of our recent range trips we invited them to come out and shoot with us, several stands and knock down targets were brought out to be abused, we shot at the stand intentionally and they held up well.
The steel targets are delivered in bare steel to cut down on cost and to give the end user an option of what color to use. I rattle canned my stand and rifle rated steel plates white and my pistol rated steel blue.
Prices are very reasonable. Aside from the standard square, rectangle, and circle targets; full IPSC, 2/3rd IPSC silhouette as well as bowling pin silhouette targets are available. They also have the capability to do custom targets.
