## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great buy
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2013*

Excellent service, was shipped immediately, well packaged, and for a good shipping price (this is a big plus for us Alaskans).The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is that the targets are a little weaker on the edges. I can only assume this is because of the heat involved in cutting (not sure what process they use).Other than that minor niggle, these are great targets and a great buy. Show less

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Under $10
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2014*

You will be hard pressed to find something this good for under this price.  However note that these will not last for ever.  I believe due to the size and cutting them with the laser the edges are little brittle and therefore will take a chunk out if you hit it there.  I did hit this dead center and it left an indention in it.Once again, its under $10.

    Destructive test sample
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2014*

I purchased this specifically because I want to shoot these with high-velocity bullets like .223 Rem. At about 8 bucks, I figured this would be a good test of the steel used to make these, and I would base my decision to buy more on this test.I fired a .223 Rem cartridge by PMC from an AR-15 with a 16 inch barrel at a distance of about 30 yards based on a pace count.The round impacted about 1/2 inch from the edge and left a shallow dimple. I have shot a lot of steel targets, and this bullet, moving close to 3,000 fps barely marked the target.side viewThe depth can barely be measured, and this is from 30yd!!! This is tough steel. I'm sure after being battered by a lot (thousands of rounds) of rifle fire, especially impacting the exact same place, the target would eventually become unusable, but admittedly this is an extreme example, and most steel targets would be perforated or heavily scarred from a fast moving bullet fired this close.Remember that heat, mainly from bullet velocity and not simply bullet energy is what damages steel targets. Big heavy bullets will send the target flying, but not leave a scratch when you go to pick it up. lightweight, fast moving bullets are the biggest threat to target steel. This steel is as good as I've seen based on this test.
