Title: All reactive targets have their limits
Post by: QVTom on April 28, 2014, 05:30:31 PM

This is my steelplinkers.com quadrant target.  It is a great target, made from 3/16" plate, it has withstood thousands of hits from springers and PCPs ranging from 12 to 55 fpe. without any signs of stress. 

I've found it's limit :P.  Placed at 75 yards and after 10-20 hits with the 30 cal Rainstorm @ 110 fpe. it's finally crying uncle :)  This is not a criticism but a testament to the quality of their targets.  I've got a friend with a cnc plasma cutter, maybe I can convince him to make some from 1/4" plate for the bigbores.

I have a bunch of Steelplinkers targets also Tom. The quad is my favorite!
Never shot it with anything over 20 ft lbs and after tons of hits it's fine. Great targets that last forever.....till you hit em with a howitzer!!!
 ;D
