Do you shoot steel?

What makes shooting steel so much more rewarding?

The answer to the above question is really a list of things.

TA Targets kit

Luckily, I still have both my eyes and all my fingers not everyone was so lucky.

Enter TA Targets, who scores the highest marks in all categories in my book.

I was initially introduced to TA Targets when I saw a display several years ago at an industry event.

TA Targets set up for review

Edges are smooth and straight.

Welds are full and solid.

Hardware is high quality, and the designs are made to keep the action safe as well as fun.

TA also fully paints all their targets before shipping.

What little assembly may be required is easy to do, and of course all hardware is included.

The Mini Vital Zone target is the one I find myself going to most often these days.

The entire target is just 16 tall by 8 wide.

It is constructed of 3/8 AR550 steel.

What makes this particular target more fun and challenging is the Vital Zone paddle in the center.

The front plate has a rectangular cut-out that exposes the paddle plate behind it.

A Solid Foundation

The base of the target system is perhaps the most valuable and ingenious component.

TA Targets bases are round.

This gives the system great balance and sturdiness they simply do not tip or tilt.

This gives the shooter a choice between steel, paper, or both.
