About Us

We build superior AR500 targets that last

Blue Steel Targets manufactures AR500 steel targets in the Pacific Northwest, where the outdoors is an integral part of everyday life. Our co-founders, Chris Sankey and Jerod Priebe, spent much of their childhoods in the woods and waters of this wild and beautiful region alongside their grandfathers and dads, learning to shoot, hunt and fish. And now, they’re passing these important traditions along to their own families.

We build affordable steel targets for family fun, law enforcement and competitive use. 

About our co-founders, Chris and Jerod

Chris and Jerod. Age 11, holding Canadian Geese.

We watched our dads in their careers as welders, fabricators, electricians and mechanics, and learned the value in making something with our hands to stand the test of time. Through our lifelong passion for collecting and shooting guns, we gained valuable experience with targets of all shapes, sizes, materials and quality. From running a successful fabrication facility, we learned to create practical, quality-built and affordable steel targets rugged enough for everyday use—and thousands of rounds.

“At Blue Steel Targets, we embrace the values of family and hard work that we learned as kids,” said Chris. “We’re a family-owned and family-run company with high standards for quality, attention to detail, innovation and testing. And we put our passion for shooting into every steel target we sell.”
