I have been looking for steel challenge steel target "kits" on the internet...man are they expensive.

I know it's a very hard grade of steel but I've seen kits for 5 of the 8 stages go any where from $2000 to $3400 just for the targets and stands....A plate rack would be a nice to have for practice as well...and I bet thouse are just as outrageous.

How's the "common man" suppose to practice when the prices are this bad?.

Can someone post vendors/products they have used. Maybe someone has had some stuff made locally that works well.

My dad uses the AR plate at work and i get to use some of it as targets and it is extremely tough.
I just use some scrap metal and weld it all together and shoot it with rifles at long distances. Makes nice pretty holes.

My 20" plate i shoot at is about 3/8" thick and is bowed really bad from the years of shooting it, so i welded on a bunch of 3/8" 5" dia plates and at 700yds its taking a beating with the .270 and 30-06 rds.
