I think it is Mellow Yellow that makes a 100 yard simulated steel target (top of the AQT size) and a "modified" target that is about half the size of our KD centers with an extra 2" or so in height across the bottom.  They hold up very well, 3/8" AR 500 steel.  He was selling them on Ebay.

Mellow Yellow has been dealing with some health issues and isn't currently making these. Hopefully he'll be back to 100% again soon. He's got some great personal stories to relate about life under communism.

Were you looking for a full-size KD target, or one of the scaled-down sizes? The steel supplier I've used in the past has offered to cut custom shapes for me. I could see if he's still interested.

There was a company whose facebook page was Rifleman Training Targets that offered a 25m, .22LR target set that was actually the blacks on each stage of the AQT. The idea being that if you focus on being able to hit the black, you were pretty much 200 points towards the 210, and really, you're likely to make the score as surely some of your hits would be 5's instead of 4's.
I've attached a pic of the rack they sold.
Thanks,
Greg

edit: I guess I could CAD up the shapes and see about having them cut, but was hoping to support someone that had already put the effort in.

Yeah, Rifleman Training Targets went out business several years ago.
