This video details a significant business loss for TA Targets due to a supplier providing substandard AR550 steel. The company experienced premature target failure, leading to extensive warranty claims. After third-party testing confirmed the steel's hardness was below specification, TA Targets replaced all affected customer products, absorbing the financial hit to uphold their commitment to customer safety and product integrity. This experience prompted a global search for superior materials and led to their current lifetime warranty on 1/2-inch strike plates.
