The Best Portable Steel Targets
Take aim at the best steel targets for shooting in the industry. Whether you’re gearing up for a hunting trip, shooting competition, or a professional role in the military or law enforcement, find out how to choose the ideal targets. Here are some key features to look for when shopping for portable targets as well as four highly-rated options for your personal shooting range or for traveling target practice.
The Best Steel for Targets
Quality targets start with quality steel. There are many different gauges and ratings of steel available, so it can be tough to choose the right option for your targets. Don’t settle for anything less than AR550 steel. This premier steel prevents denting and deformation.
If you’re using a pistol with MGM Targets AR550 products, then enjoy a limited lifetime warranty. This heavy-duty steel offers serious protection against cracks and breaks but may become dented or experience holes from a centerfire rifle. A generous warranty gives you peace of mind as you fire away with your favorite pistol. Don’t invest in targets that fracture and break after the first day of use, but invest in AR550 steel products from a leading manufacturer in the United States: MGM Targets.
Types of Portable Steel Targets for Shooting
Before you check out some highly rated steel targets for shooting, consider the type of target you need. Depending on whether you’re looking for recreational, professional, or competitive shooting targets, there are two popular portable options:
Popper targets get their name from their spring-loaded construction. After you line up the shot and hit your target square in the center, you won’t have to walk all the way down the range to set it back up. The included spring base allows the target to knock down and pop right back up. It’s clear when you’ve hit your target and easy to continue to shoot at the same target without additional setup time.
Choose a steel gong for a reactive option that is portable, convenient, and affordable. At MGM Targets, we use the same durable AR550 steel for our gongs for long-lasting performance. A pleasant ring announces every accurate shot. Hang them on a leg bracket, T-stand, or hanger kit for a portable base system.
How To Choose the Best Target
Not all targets are created equal. Grabbing any chunk of steel won’t give you the performance you need. Match your target with your firearm and shooting style to enjoy safe, accurate target practice.
Portable targets are hard to come by, so be sure to shop carefully. Many traveling marksmen choose to settle for cardboard or paper targets. These flimsy alternatives don’t give you the same level of long-lasting performance and accuracy as steel options.
Finally, it’s important to select the best target shape and mounting method for your purposes. A target that falls down or breaks apart after a few shots isn’t a great way to sight in your rapid-fire pistol, so pick up a target that’s designed for the long haul. Gongs and poppers are great options for on-the-go target practice. If you’re ready to up your recreational shooting game or prepare for an upcoming competition, check out these four popular targets by MGM Targets.
