    Cardboard favorite=Homemade. Inexpensive and easy to get (boxes sold at Walmart). I make them smaller than IPSC, and they have whatever hit boxes I want to use.

    My favorite targets for the AR15 are the gongs offered by www.metaltargets.com
    They have a great ring to them and have been very durable.

    I also like the the FBI style & IPSC targets from GT Targets.com with the sniper cut out.

    I'm biased because it's my design but...

    For steel, I've had great success with MGM, Action and Porta-Target. I prefer either static or self-resetting to avoid wasting time.

    I like. What are the dimensions on it? Are these available anywhere?

    Best pic I have of some of my AR targets The 2 IPSC shaped targets up front and the FBI style target in the back came from GT Targets. You can see the 12" yellow gong from metal targets out there on the left.

    The NRA sil. targets are made from T1 and are for pistols only.

    I've been using the steel FBI Q target from www.letargets.com It goes together very quick by just unfolding the legs and then basically hanging the target on the stand.

    It's so far withstood thousands of rounds of 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45acp from several shooters. I would recommend that you turn the target each time you shoot to prevent a bow forming in it from repeated strikes.

    For .223 we use the port a target rifle target.

    I really love shooting steel more than anything else target wise.
