Grizzly Targets: How Strong Are They?

    Grizzly Target has been a sponsor of our humble program for a long time, and we just wanted to put together a quick compilation of what we have done to these things. They can even survive Patrick, the breaker of all things, but most importantly the people at Grizzly produce great targets at a great price.

    Anyways, I was going to do a quick write-up, but I thought I might make a fun little compilation video as well:

     

    To put it simply, I have pulverized these target with everything from .22lr, all the way up to belt-fed 7.62×51 FMJ. While some resemble the surface of the moon now, they are still trucking along just fine.

    Basically, the targets are nice AR500 steel plates cut into all sorts of shapes and sizes that you can see on their website, but my personal favorite is the 18×24 rectangle seen above in white. While heavy, it is big enough to see your group sizes when you paint it, and I have even used it to pattern my turkey shotgun.

    Grizzly’s stands are also quite nice, and I use the hell out of the standard base:

    It is small enough to put into any vehicle, but large enough to support even the heaviest targets, which is a definite win for me.

    Your other primary mounting option is a great little stand that you use 2×4 pieces of wood cut to size in order to really support the hell out of your target:

    The primary target I use is a simple silhouette that can be seen taking abuse in my MAS 36 video bravely taking many rounds of 7.5 French at close range. I have also shot this with a SIG AMT at 50 yards with surplus 7.62×51. It craters the target, but does not even come close to punching through:

    P1030152

    I have not been nice to this one, and it is sure to keep on appearing in videos for years to come.

    If you are looking for a quality target that will bring you years and years of shooting pleasure, check out Grizzly. They have supported TFBTV for a long time now, and I can honestly say that these are some of the nicest AR500 targets I have used. If I was dissatisfied with them, I would not have seen it fit to write this up.
