I shoot exclusively steel. Cardboard and paper targets get expensive and or time consuming to make. I may not win any competitions but if i have to use my ccw within 20 yards i am very confident i will put rounds on target.
What I’ve noticed is when “influencer’s” post videos of them shooting a variety of steel and paper targets they almost always slow down to engage the steel. They will speed through the targets that don’t give instant feedback of a miss and be sure to get the ring on steel. For me, if your shot was good and consistent then you wouldn’t feel the need to slow down between target types. This of course doesn’t apply at distance as slowing down there is acceptable. Steel and paper on flat range equidistant to each other shouldn’t require a pace change.
I shoot steal. Bring 2 cans of spray paint and re paint between rounds. Don’t even need to let it dry, I see every round. It’s much faster than putting up new paper. But hey, shoot whatever you want.
I prefer steel because when I miss I know I missed and need to continue shooting until I hear it plink. Doesn’t matter where I missed, all I know is that I missed.
If your shooting steel, or paper, your shooting 99% more than anyone watching this.
Put the steal behind cardboard man. You can see the hits/misses but hear when you hit.
Can of spray paint is like 2 dollars
spray paint has entered the chat
2A influencers who speak in absolutes and think their way is the only way is getting really old.
if TRex sold spray paint this video would be about how paper targets provides no training experience.
Spray paint it…
Absolutely doesn’t matter as long as you’re out on the range that’s all that matters
Instructions unclear, make target go ding-ding
Weird, it knocks the spray paint right off of my steel targets giving EXACT hit locations. Huh…
This is my rifle

Who cares what you’re shooting. If you’re actually training your shot, spraying steel works, paper works, cardboard works. Who cares?

I wish the comment section had an experience level meter that would show up each person’s level of shooting experience with each comment
If you paint your steel you see every hitmark

I have no trouble seeing where I hit on steel

You can buy steel targets that are shaped like and literally a 1:1 scale of an actual average human torso complete with head shape and all.
