    Silhouette targets

    Any recommendations out there for where to buy a set of full size rams, turkeys, chickens, and hogs for silhouette target shooting.

    I have bought from these guys https://www.qualitytargets.com/silho...=newest&page=2 and also these guys https://custommfgco.com/targets/ although their website shows they do not stock targets now but can call for a quote. Very happy with both companies and the targets.

    What area of the country are you located? Do you want one of each animal, or five of each?

    You might check with some of the old ckubs that are no longer shooting silhouette.

    Remember that silhouette targets need to be reset or placed back up. If your shooting on a shared club range, you will have to wait until all clear to do that. If your own private range or when you have the range to yourself, it’s less of an issue. At my club, we simply use different sizes of AR500 steel for different ranges hanging on chains. Just my .02.

    Past experience, for longevity of targets and holders, has taught me to use targets mounted on T post using AR 500 mounts and AR500 targets. I buy ,for our gun club, from MGM Targets. I do all the maintance on our rifle range and pistol range. Chain mounted swingers are nice but the chains get cut by the bullets and are constantly needing repair. Since going to T post hangers I have not had to repair any of those which makes my range time more enjoyable.
