Recommended Shooting Distances & Caliber Guidelines
| Caliber / Ammunition Type | Minimum Distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Handgun Calibers (9mm, .40, .45, etc.) | 10 yards | Safe for all standard pistol rounds; produces clean audible feedback. |
| Magnum Handgun Calibers (.357, .44 Mag) | 15 yards | Heavier energy; maintain extra distance to reduce pitting risk. |
| Intermediate Rifle Calibers (5.56/.223, 7.62×39) | 50 yards | Ideal for 3/8″ AR500; avoid steel‑core or penetrator rounds. |
| Full‑Power Rifle Calibers (.308, 6.5CM, .30‑06) | 100 yards | Safe at distance with standard ball ammo; no AP or steel‑core. |
| High‑Velocity / Magnum Rifle (.300 Win Mag, 7mm Mag) | 150+ yards | Extreme velocity can damage steel; increase distance accordingly. |
| Shotgun Slugs | 50 yards | Slugs impact hard; maintain distance to prevent deformation. |
| Shotgun Buckshot | 25 yards | Pellets may ricochet unpredictably; use caution. |
