This video demonstrates the versatility of the TA Targets ADAP system, which integrates cardboard and steel targets. It showcases how to attach cardboard targets to furring strips on the base and how the steel target can be used independently or in conjunction with the cardboard. The presenter tests the durability of AR 550 steel against .223 FMJ rounds at close range, highlighting its resilience.

Quick Summary

The TA Targets ADAP system offers a versatile shooting range setup by integrating cardboard and AR 550 steel targets. The system's 20-inch base allows for easy attachment of cardboard targets via furring strips, which can be positioned in front of the steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the TA Targets ADAP system integrate cardboard and steel targets?

The ADAP system features a 20-inch round base with tubes for 1x2 furring strips, allowing cardboard targets to be stapled in front of the steel. This setup enables the use of both target types simultaneously or independently.

What is the durability of AR 550 steel targets against .223 FMJ rounds?

Testing with .223 55-grain FMJ ammunition at 15 yards, even at close range, did not cause any visible damage like dimples on a half-inch AR 550 steel target, demonstrating its exceptional strength.

How does bullet fragmentation affect cardboard targets placed in front of steel?

Bullet fragmentation can cause some wear on the back of the cardboard, particularly near the head of the silhouette. However, the rest of the cardboard body remains largely untouched, and the targets are inexpensive and easy to replace.

What are the key features of the TA Targets ADAP system base?

The ADAP system's 20-inch round base is a versatile component used across multiple TA Targets systems. It includes integrated tubes designed to securely hold 1x2 furring strips for mounting paper or cardboard targets.
