This video from TA Targets discusses three major product development regrets. The first regret involves discontinuing the popular 20-inch round base, which was a signature product, in favor of a breakdown base that was cheaper but didn't meet all customer needs. The second regret centers on phasing out AR500 steel targets to focus on AR550, which alienated a budget-conscious customer segment, leading to the later reintroduction of the Genesis line (AR500). The third regret highlights the initial pairing of premium Exodus line targets with a more budget-friendly base, which was later rectified by offering the Genesis base with the Exodus targets to lower the entry price.
This video provides specific shooting distance recommendations for TA Targets' AR550 steel targets, differentiating between 3/8" and 1/2" plate thicknesses. It details safe distances for various pistol and rifle calibers, including magnum rounds, and outlines approved and prohibited ammunition types. The instructor emphasizes the unique design features and steel quality that allow for closer shooting distances compared to standard AR500 targets.
This video from T.A. Targets demonstrates the critical differences in steel target plate performance based on material composition and thickness, even when using barrier-defeating ammunition. The instructor, with extensive experience manufacturing steel targets since 2015, highlights that not all steel targets are created equal and unsafe targets can be deadly. The testing reveals that AR550 steel, particularly in thicker variants, significantly outperforms AR500 steel in resisting penetration from advanced military ammunition like M855A1 and M80A1, as well as historical M2 rounds. The video emphasizes the importance of choosing reputable manufacturers and understanding target limitations for safe and effective training.
This video tests the durability of AR500 steel targets, specifically their Genesis systems, by exposing them to armor-piercing rounds. The description highlights the product's toughness and directs viewers to two product lines: Genesis and Exodus. The content aims to demonstrate the resilience of AR500 steel under extreme ballistic stress.
