Match Target Type, Material and Safe Use

Target systems vary by material, visibility, mounting method and manufacturer-rated application. Match each target and stand to the intended environment, then follow all published setup, ammunition and minimum-distance requirements.

• Target type: Compare paper, adhesive, reactive, resetting and reusable target formats.
• Target material: Review paper, polymer, self-healing and manufacturer-rated metal options.
• Rated application: Confirm the published firearm, ammunition or caliber limitations before use.
• Minimum-use distance: Follow the target manufacturer's distance and placement requirements.
• Mounting system: Match the target to a compatible stand, hanger, backer, stake or frame.
• Visibility: Compare target size, contrast, scoring zones and reactive feedback at the planned distance.
• Reset or replacement: Review replacement faces, pasters, reset methods and expected service life.
• Range requirements: Confirm the target type and mounting system are permitted at the intended location.
