What is the maximum force recommended for the Rx Target Systems all steel target?

The steel target has taken sustained commercially available pellet shots at 45 foot pounds at 20 yards on 1/4” thick paddles. With 10 gauge paddles (140 thousandths of an inch thick), its limit is 31 foot pounds at 20 yards. The 5/16” thick paddles have functioned reliably with 60 foot pounds at 25 yards. Testing with commercially made airgun pellets as well as Specialty ammunition testing is still on going. If using specialty ammunition it is recommended to purchase the 1/4 inch thick paddle set. We test for rebounding and deformation of the paddles. See the chart below for the force analysis. This is a very good guideline.
