Targets for large-bore use are 9.5 to 13 mm (3 ⁄ 8 to 1 ⁄ 2 in) thick hardened steel; small bore targets are 5 to 6 mm (3 ⁄ 16 to 1 ⁄ 4 in) steel, and airgun targets are 3 mm (1 ⁄ 8 in) steel, although some aluminum targets are produced. Ranges are measured in meters only.

Manufacturers recommends at least 1/4" thickness (6.35 mm) with 500 Brinell value for pistol shooting with common calibres such as 9 mm , .40 S&W and .45 ACP , with a ...
