Range Equipment: Build a Better Shooting Range with MGM Targets

The right range equipment can make a huge difference in how effectively you train, practice, and enjoy your time at the range. From durable steel targets and target stands to plate racks, mounting systems, and replacement hardware, quality equipment helps create a shooting environment that is reliable, versatile, and built for repeated use.

At MGM Targets, we’ve been building shooting range equipment since 1994, with products designed for recreational shooters, competitive shooters, professional instructors, law enforcement, military, and shooting ranges.

What Range Equipment Do You Need?

A well-equipped shooting range requires more than just a firearm and ammunition. The right equipment allows you to create training drills, change target configurations, and challenge yourself with different shooting scenarios.

Common range equipment includes:

The equipment you need depends on whether you’re building a personal practice setup, running a professional range, or preparing for competition.

Steel Targets Are the Foundation

For many shooters, steel targets are the centerpiece of their range equipment.

Steel provides immediate feedback when struck, giving shooters an audible and often visual indication of a hit. This makes steel targets particularly useful for drills where speed, accuracy, and target transitions are important.

MGM Targets offers steel targets for a wide range of shooting applications, from handgun practice to rifle training and competition.

AR550 Steel for Demanding Applications

When you’re investing in range equipment, durability matters.

MGM Targets offers AR550 steel targets designed for demanding shooting applications. The hardness of AR550 makes it an excellent material for durable steel targets when used according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Different shooting applications require different target thicknesses, distances, and configurations. Always follow the target manufacturer’s recommendations for caliber, ammunition, distance, and safe use.

Target Stands and Bases

Even the best steel target won’t perform properly without a dependable support system.

Target stands and bases provide the foundation for your range setup. Depending on your application, you may want a portable system that can be quickly assembled and moved, or a more permanent setup designed for frequent use.

MGM Targets offers a variety of target stands, bases, and mounting solutions that allow shooters to configure their range around their specific needs.

Plate Racks for Fast-Paced Training

Want to add speed and competition to your range sessions?

A plate rack gives you multiple steel targets in one system, making it ideal for practicing transitions and rapid target engagement.

Plate racks are popular with:

  • Competition shooters
  • Law enforcement trainers
  • Firearms instructors
  • Recreational shooters
  • Shooting ranges

They can also make a training session considerably more challenging—and more fun.

Reactive Range Equipment

Reactive targets add movement to your training.

Instead of simply remaining stationary after being hit, reactive targets can move, fall, spin, reset, or otherwise respond to a successful shot.

This provides another layer of feedback and can help make practice sessions more dynamic.

MGM Targets offers a variety of reactive and specialty target systems designed for shooters looking to add more variety to their range.

Modular Range Equipment

Your training needs can change over time.

That’s where modular range equipment can provide an advantage.

A modular target system allows you to change target configurations rather than being locked into a single setup. You can reposition targets, change target sizes, and create new drills without completely replacing your equipment.

MGM Targets’ Modular Locking System is designed to give shooters flexibility when building steel target configurations.

Range Equipment for Competition Shooters

Competition shooters need equipment that can replicate the challenges they’ll face on match day.

MGM Targets offers competition-oriented targets and systems for disciplines including USPSA and Steel Challenge.

With the right equipment, shooters can build practice stages that help develop:

  • Speed
  • Accuracy
  • Target transitions
  • Movement
  • Shot placement
  • Stage planning
  • Consistency

The goal is to make practice more productive so you arrive at your next competition prepared.

Range Equipment for Professional Ranges

Public and commercial shooting ranges place unique demands on equipment.

Targets may receive thousands of rounds over their service life, making durability and maintainability extremely important.

MGM Targets offers heavy-duty range equipment designed for demanding environments, including durable steel targets, target stands, mounting systems, and replacement components.

For range operators, investing in quality equipment can help reduce maintenance and keep the range operating efficiently.

Range Equipment for Recreational Shooters

You don’t need to operate a professional range to benefit from quality range equipment.

Recreational shooters can create a highly versatile practice area with just a few well-chosen pieces of equipment.

A combination of steel plates, reactive targets, stands, and different target sizes can give you countless ways to change your practice sessions.

Instead of shooting the same setup every time, create new challenges and keep your training interesting.

Safety Comes First

Steel targets are designed to be used under specific conditions. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use appropriate ammunition, distances, target angles, and equipment for your application.

Inspect steel targets regularly for damage, excessive wear, deformation, or other conditions that could make them unsafe to use. Replace damaged equipment when necessary.

Proper range design and safe shooting practices are essential components of any shooting range.
