At the Gibsonburg IBC someone mentioned there was a place to buy iron redcoat targets and hitch covers. If anyone knows who is it that is selling those I would love to know.

Thanks!

Good choice, Ed.

For those who don't know, Kimball's small business turns out quality products.  Based near Indianapolis, he offers a 'D'-shaped target sized to replicate the QDAQT stage 1.  I have one and the size is right on.  The steel is tough enough for non-AP centerfire rounds at 100 yd. - even my surplus 7.62x54r barely leaves a scratch.  Kimball also gives us a plug on his product page.

Full size targets have been done on a special run basis, usually in a group buy format to keep wastage (and therefore cost) to a minimum.

The question is, are we up to it?" - YHJ

Just bought 2 x 4" plates and 1 x 8" plate from them at the Indy 1500 today.  Can't wait get my stands built and ring some steel!

Currently in the process of making full size redcoat targets with stands for sale. Updates soon to come. Probably 5/8 ths T1 (extremely hardened) steel.
