MUST READ

1. Treat every firearm as if it's loaded at all times. Always.

2. Do not point a firearm at anything you're not willing to destroy.

3. Keep your finger off of the trigger, and out of the trigger guard, until your sights are on target and you're ready to shoot.

4. Know your target and what's beyond it. Have a safe backstop.

Get familiar with your firearm and it's safety features. If you don't know, ASK SOMEONE! There are no dumb questions when it comes to firearm safety. 

While steel targets will last a long time with proper use, they are not indestructible. Steel targets do wear out and they can become dangerous as a result of misuse. The wear/damage on the face of a target is the result of excessive heat generated by the speed of the bullet at the point of impact. At the same distance, on the same target, the small 55-grain .223 caliber bullet will do more damage to the target face than a 230-grain .45ACP caliber bullet 4-times it's weight. That's because the .223 rifle round leaves the barrel at around 3100 feet per second compared to the .45ACP handgun round at about 950 feet per second. Faster bullets = more heat generated at point of impact = more wear. We recommend a minimum of 100 yards for rifles and 15 yards for handguns.   Spectators should remain at least 10 yards behind the shooter. We also recommend 1/2-inch thick targets for larger rifle calibers and magnum calibers. Only use quality ammunition. Steel core ammo will accelerate wear and shorten the life of a steel target. We do not recommend using steel core ammunition.

If a hole develops in a steel target, or the depth of indentions become more than 10% of the thickness of the target, discontinue use of that target. 

Do not use steel targets with shotguns or air guns.  

Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses, shooting rated hearing protection and protective clothing.
