AR500 Appleseed targets

[Bobcat Steel]

I hope this isn't out of line....please delete if so.

A few of the guys from the Texas group are wanting to do some more full size D-targets (4 zone). Looks like the interest is in doing both full size and half size targets from 3/8" AR500. I know some of you got in the original group buy a few years back and others have gotten with me since, but I wanted to let the information out to see if anyone wants in.

Pricing will be finalized as the interest slows down, but expect it to be $130-150 on a full size and $40ish on a half. Pricing includes mounting holes.

I made a post on our Facebook page the other day to try and drum up some interest, but it hasn't been as well received as I had expected. Feel free to 'share' the post where ever you see fit.

Please either contact me via PM or email (appleseedGB@bobcatsteel.com) to discuss your interest. Go ahead and post up any questions on here as someone else will probably have the same one.

Ideally I want to have this wrapped up so that I can have targets available for you guys to pick up at the Indy1500 later this month.

Not out of line at all, it's welcomed.

Did you ever hear from a Wendy Vankorn of Westfield Steel? She contacted me about some full sheets of AR500 that was overstock and dirty. I couldn't handle the amount so I gave her your contact info as a possible buyer.

I was in on some sheet pricing recently and they wanted 820 bucks for a4x8 sheet.  Bobcat Steel is literally a STEAL.

As a testamonial I have shot mine with all sorts of stuff including 30 cal AP and it still looks 100%. No fracturing or large dimples.

I did. I found getting information from her like pulling teeth. She never did give me any of the information I was after. I have tried to give them a shot a few different occasions now and every chance they have failed me in spectacular ways.

Thanks for looking out, though.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll be interested in one or two. Probably one of each.

[SteelThunder]

I'm in...one of each.  I missed the last group buy and have regretted since.

Already contacted via email about a half-size target, but I'll subscribe to this thread for any updates.

Bobcat Steel is the real deal. Appleseed tough.

You can say that again.  I was nervous the first time I let the shooters go center fire on my targets but they have held up to .223, .30, .308 and 7.62x54R without any dents or holes.  So far they just get a fresh coat of red between KDs.

Put me down for one of each... PM inbound!

For the record, I'm in for one full size  -  replied to Kimball's email a moment ago

I have literally kicked the cr@p out of mine.  I have shot it with everything I have (including AP).  It been drug around behind the truck, its been run over, its been shot when it was frozen, its been subjected to all kinds of horrible.  great product.  For those of you thinking, "Yeah, but its just steel.  Steel is pretty tough."  No, steel isn't shooting it with the kitchen sink tough, and its a lot less safe to shoot soft steel than it is to shoot good AR 500.

BOBCAT STEEL is a good product, good company, and a good dude.

What are the dimensions and weights of both of these targets?

I have enough verbal commitments that I am ready to proceed with this.

Targets will be 3/8" AR500 laser cut with holes.
$140 on the full size. $40 on the half size. Hole options are going to be either two holes as shown above, or a single hole centered in the 'head'. Customer's choice on holes. We will be making a cut to get ready for an upcoming show, so we will leave this open until August 11th. Payments will need to be received by then. Targets will ship out the week of August 26th.

Targets can be shipped or picked up. These will be ready to pick up at the Indy 1500 Aug 23-25th. If you want to do group shipping, please arrange that amongst yourselves and let us know where to ship. Ideally the group shipments would be treated with a single order/payment.

We will start taking orders/payments on Monday.

Thanks!

I don't seem to have the ability to do it or I would....

If appropriate, could one of you re-post this info in the Steals/Deals section? I'd like to make sure everyone has the opportunity to get in on this that might want to.

So far it seems the exposure has been limited to Indiana, Texas, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania.

Thanks.

[Pitmaster]

Should we order through the website or via email?

Anyone else in N. Indiana getting in and want to try to combine a pickup at the 1500 or shipping. I doubt if I can get to the 1500, but if someone farther north is going arranging to meet later works for me.

If any of you cant make the 1500, but are coming out to my house the following weekend and would like me to bring them home with me Id be happy to walk the 2 feet over to kimballs booth and grab them.

Posted here.  Let me know if you want me to add or remove any info.

The drawback to the deals and steals section is that only some people can post/reply to threads.

Will you be able to ship the 50% targets in flat rate boxes?  Looks like 8 50% targets would fit in the Medium Box 2....
