is 1"ar500 good for targets...??

[indianaarsenal]

I might have found a deal on a 51"x 107" of 1" ar500.. and yes i have way to cut it up. but is this to thick to be "usable" for pistol/ rifle targets..

also, I am getting 3 48X96 3/8 as well.

I would like to get as much out of this as possible..

was thinking classic pepper poppers , dueling tree plates, 6" and 10" squares.

what else? is the 1" worth the time to have cut up and if so in what sizes?

any help would be appreciated.

steel will be cheap, below scrap price. and have axcess to plasma machine that will cut up to 6" plate. so good there. this will be for personal use not for sale

Be sure to read his sig also. Makes it that much better.

And the steel is good, maybe even a little overkill. Hope it won't be moved a lot. May get heavy.

lol! I didn't even notice!

and yeah, 1" is definitely overkill in most cases!!
