I have shot everything at these targets and they are holding up very well. I hit the edge of one of the targets with 7.62 and it did deform it a bit but not too terrible. I shoot them at 10-25 yards with pistol ammo and 100+ with rifle ammo. My buddy brought over a S&W revolver in 500 magnum and it was the blew right threw one of my pistol targets (not AR500) but this one held up fine. Hope this helps. **Q: Will the t post hanger fit on a 1x2 ?** A: You can use a 2x2 or two 1x2's. The inner dimensions are 1.75" x 1.75" **Q: The product description for material says aluminum... I assume it’s a typo but before I buy I would like to double check.** A: It is NOT ALUMINUM!! Very high grade steel! Has held up to my HOT loads in my 9mm without hardly making a dent in it! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AR500 *by C***N on 30 April 2026* AR500, virtually indestructible. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FUN! *by M***L on 28 February 2026* Used for the first time today and it held up great, 9mm left no dents and 223 left bb sized dents.
