Frequently Asked Questions

What makes TA Targets' AR550 steel targets a good choice for firearm training?

TA Targets' AR550 steel targets are highly durable, with the 1/2 inch C-Zone option even featuring a lifetime warranty. They are designed to withstand hundreds of rounds from various calibers and barrel lengths, offering immediate auditory and visual feedback for engaging training sessions.

How can adjustable target lean improve shooting safety and target longevity?

Adjusting the forward lean on TA Targets' systems helps to reduce spalling, which is the fragmentation of bullet material. This also absorbs more of the round's impact, allowing for safer shooting at closer distances and significantly extending the lifespan of the steel target.

Why is it important to use cardboard targets in addition to metal targets for firearm training?

While metal targets provide instant feedback, cardboard targets are crucial for accurate firearm zeroing. They allow you to clearly see your shot group and make precise adjustments, which is essential for ensuring your rifle or handgun is properly sighted in.

What are the differences between TA Targets' Exodus and Genesis systems?

The Exodus Target Systems are built for intense training with higher quality steel, offering maximum durability. The Genesis system uses 3/8 inch AR500 steel, providing a more affordable yet still solid option for quality training, with various sizes and mounting configurations available.
