    LaRue Tactical Sniper Target TG1

    Re: LaRue Tactical Sniper Target TG1 They will be used for 100 to 200 yards. The website recommended no less than 100 for 223, if I remember right. I think 223 will be alot of what is shot. They will be used alot for IDPA matches.

    Gunsmithing Shop Mats

    Re: Shop Mats I use "NoTrac" brand mats form MSC. They have several different sizes. The ones that use are 7/8" thick and have holes to allow chips and coolant to go thru. They have a long taper on the edge to cut down on me tripping. They are comfortable and fairly chemical resistant.
