WARRANTY

• The product is provided “as-is” and without warranty of any kind, either express or implied including, but not limited to, warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or freedom from infringement of patent, trademark, or copyright.

• There are no warranties or guarantees given, nor any liability assumed by the manufacturer in the use of our products. ALL RISK OF INJURY IS ASSUMED BY THE PURCHASER, AND SHALL PASS TO THE PURCHASER OF OUR PRODUCTS SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Personal Protective Gear for Shooters and Spectators, Acceptable Ammunition, Target Configuration and Target Service Life:

Protective Gear-

• Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses, shooting rated hearing protection and protective clothing.

 Ammunition-

• Use only high quality duty/service ammunition when shooting steel targets. If using non-frangible ammunition use handgun ammunition with a maximum velocity of 1,500 feet per second. Rifle ammunition muzzle velocity should not exceed 3,000 feet per second.

• Bullet fragments and jacketing can sometimes deflect back in the direction of the shooter at distances greater than 20 yards for handguns and greater than 75 yards for rifles. While these fragments and jackets may cause injury, they typically have very little energy – dependent on a number of factors such as velocity, bullet design, and jacket material.

• Never shoot Armor Piercing (AP), steel core or hardened type ammunition at any steel plate. These types of ammunition are designed to pierce steel – use common sense to prolong the life of your high-quality steel targets!!

Configuration/Setup-

• Remember, ballistic science is based in theory. Unexpected ricochets can occur, regardless of the target type being shot. Always use caution when shooting, especially at steel targets.

• Targets must always be set up completely vertical, no backward or side to side leaning.

• Use only a properly constructed firing range with adequate backstop height (25 feet in height is recommended) and adequate down range safety area of 500 yards or more. Locate the steel targets as close to the backstop as possible to help reduce the down range ricochet effect and distance.

• Spectators should stand 10 yards behind the shooter.

• Recommended minimum distances from steel targets to shooter are 10 yards for pistols and 50 to 100 yards for rifles depending on the stand.

• Gunfighter Targets LLC targets are highly tested targets, designed to withstand many impacts from suitable and appropriate projectiles. However, they do not last forever.

Apply firearm fitness and safety precautions to target fitness for use:

• If a target looks visibly damaged beyond shallow (<2mm) depressions, discontinue use of the target.

• Failure to do so may create a dangerous condition, as a damaged steel target is more likely to ricochet projectiles, jacketing and lead back toward the shooter and spectators.

• The goal of an effective steel target is to absorb projectile energy, and also to deflect it down toward the ground.

• If there are deep depressions in the target (>2mm), the likelihood and danger of those areas redirecting projectiles back at the shooter are increased.

• Discontinue use of a target if there are any deep depressions on the face of the target, or any other changes to the face of the target, other than paint wear.

• Gunfighter Targets LLC is not responsible for any injuries or damage that occurs from the use of a damaged target.
