Smokin .50 1,907 Posted June 27, 2019 ^^^Can you hit a 8" wide target at 200 yards w/o hitting the chain OR twisting the chain (requires 400 yard walk to straighten)? All steel at Ft. Dix Range 14 must be placed at the Berm (200 yards). ~R P.S.: Might wanna consider buying from Glen at Pew-Pew Plates. His steel is built to LAST!

I prefer 1/2" ar500. It holds up a bit better when laser cut like that is, and the weight keeps you from flipping it when you shoot it. If you are shooting .223 that would probably be fine at 200 though. I use rubber straps rather than chain these days though. Was buying them pre-cut (looked like they were made out of retired motorcycle tires), but I jsut bought a big roll of decommissioned fire hose. Works great and doesn't matter if someone shoots the strap. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
