Shoot Steel Close Range Rifle Targets

ShootSteel.com has a wide variety of offerings in their line of AR500 steel targets. We initially acquired some targets from their static setup line and were very happy with them. However, they showed signs of damage when bimetallic jacketed bullets were shot at them. Their solution was for us to test out their close range rifle setups. These things were awesome. ShootSteel personnel even attended the testing. Probably to make sure we didn't cheat and shoot something ridiculous at them.

We plan to acquire the full line of ShootSteelproducts to give you an in-depth look at them all.

ShootSteel.com Portable AR500 Steel Targets

ShootSteel.Com has a wide range of target set ups that, in my opinion are excellent alternatives. I first came across these by shooting with FXHummel. To date we had been blasting away at really heavy homemade stuff that I welded together myself. I really love how easy they are to set up and transport. Here is a quick look at the excellence:

Sig Sauer 556R: Not Really for AK Guys

As many of you know we have been testing the Sig Sauer 556R for some time now and have produced multiple videos featuring this weapon system. We have mixed results from this thing and the most recent round of testing was no exception.

Some issues can be chalked up to training issues or user performance but I would definitively say that there are areas for improvement on the gun as far as a design to user interface is concerned. To give a brief synopsis of the video you are about to see, we swapped owners on the following two rifles. An Arsenal SLR owned by FXHummel was run by one of our crew and FX, a trained AK user, used the Sig 556R.

The major take away for me was Kalashnikov training does not intuitively translate to the Sig design. Oh, yeah and tapco mags suck...but we already knew.

Enjoy the show.
