Why should you shoot steel? Because punching holes in paper is
boring! There is nothing like the gratifying ring of business lead
on steel. With reactive steel
targets you have the visual and acoustics feedback for every
hit.
Steel gong targets can be
purchased in a multitude of styles and shapes. Fixed or Static
targets do not move when reach but will wed loudly. These types
include IDPA/IPSC Torso targets, Cowboy Action forms or basic circles
and squares installed to a static stand.
Reactive
steel targets will move when hit. The
motion provides additional reviews of the hit and makes firing a bit
more interesting when you're able to see reaction. These kinds of
targets include Dueling Trees and shrubs, Gongs, Swingers, Hostage
targets, Poppers and so many more. Most reactive targets are
auto-resetting. You certainly do not need to leave the firing range
to physically reset the mark, so you have significantly more time
shooting!
Knock-over targets on are reactive for the reason that they fall
season over when strike. You certainly know you've strike it,
nevertheless, you have to walk right down to pick it up again.
