Important Safety Notice
This target is intended to be cut only from properly rated AR500 steel plate of appropriate thickness for the firearm and ammunition being used. AR500 is the commonly accepted steel used for firearm-rated shooting targets because of its hardness and impact resistance.
Do not cut this target from mild steel, thin sheet metal, unknown scrap, or non-rated material. Improper material can crater, deform, fragment, or create dangerous ricochet and splash-back hazards.
The buyer is responsible for verifying proper material thickness, target angle, shooting distance, caliber compatibility, ammunition type, and safe range setup before use. Always follow firearm safety rules, range rules, and manufacturer recommendations for steel targets.
Classroom Uses
This project is best suited for advanced agricultural mechanics, welding, or metal fabrication students under instructor supervision. It can be used to teach CNC cutting, material selection, fit-up, welding, grinding, finishing, and the importance of matching material properties to real-world use.
Skills Practiced
