When I spoke to my friends about this, and mentioned that I was getting a 8", they all pretty much had the same opinion. Too Small, Dont be Cheap!
Well, I had my reasons, and am glad I got what I did.
Its alot less to lug out into a field, and being only 8" with a single mounting hole has made it pretty easy to set up in a multiple amount of ways.

Not to mention,
it is making me focus more on accuracy and the basics, to develop good shooting habits.
I am less worried about round count, and more on my own stance, and learning to calculate the changes I need to make.

With my .223, at 160-200 yards, you can barely even tell its getting scratched, and this target is going to last a LONG time.

Cant say thank you enough to Jordan, Lefty and Wolf!


Oh and if anyone is having trouble seeing it at the distances, I found after scrubbing the plate a bit with some steel wool, and cleaning it with brakekleen that it took duracoat spray really easily, and you can paint damn near any picture you want.
