@daddyoca69, I could write a book on spray paint. You generally get what you pay for with spray paint. Usually the more expensive can is a better buy, as with tires.

"oh hi there!" "that's all I got to say about that".... so dorky but I love it. lol dude reminds me so much of my grandfather.

Fresh paint does make a big difference, thanks for doing that! Other videos that shoot at a target thats been riddled already with bullets is boring. Paper targets are fine, but hearing the steel targets says "it's a hit"! Then you can see a fresh hit on the fresh paint. The gong is cool, when you zoom in on it, you can see the bullets bouncing and again, fresh paint hit marks.

Thanks for always hitting the targets with the rattlecan first. We appreciate it!! I bet you want a fresh set of targets every time you go out there, it's not all about us.

Hard to believe some of the Qs you receive, Hickok. Guess it's a good reminder that one man's "Elementary, my dear Watson" is another man's "E=MC2."
On another note, I've become spoiled by your vids in that I seek metal targets over paper ones. The ping is more satisfying and a better indicator of success at a distance than sight. Plus, I'm not so overly concerned with accuracy that I need to be on the bulls-eye at 80 yards --so long as I can hit the gong!
Thanks again for your great videos!

I’ve been shooting steel for decades. Always paint them before shooting. That’s half the fun!🤣

Informative on the pigment density issue! Thanks for the daily effort to make quality video's for us to enjoy and look forward to on weekends. Like the cap!

We all appreciate your hard work and everythingy you do in preperation for your vids. thankyou Hickok45

[hickok]

@ChielScape, LIke I said, I could write a book on spray paint. Guess I'd better do that for you guys. :-) Cheap paint has less pigment and does not go very far. Generally, a three-dollar can of paint will paint ten times as many targets as a one-dollar can of paint. That's what I meant about getting more for your money. :-)

Love the steel targets and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world

[DaytonaRoadster]

i was actually wondering about this, but never bothered to ask, thanks for the info

[highlandsvette]

LIFE IS GOOD thank you for all your great information !

[AzSaltRiver]

@hickok45 I agree. I just got my targets (Arntzen) about a month ago, have been using a hi-glow flourescent orange, works beautifully. $3-5/can depending on where you purchase.

[hickok]

@ipaintyou1, Yep, according to Ruger, it's pretty much "in the mail." :-)

[busyhands]

Hickok, I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I made my first steel target yesterday out of 1/2" thick steel. I enjoy watching your videos so much that I picked up some steel swinging targets at Cabelas, turns out that I too like to shoot steel! I think next on my to-do list is to make myself a nice steel gong! :-)

[URBANAMERICANTAC]
