I priced a full size Whitetail buck cutout of 1/2" AR500 last spring at the Sportsman's show in McAllen, TX. between the cost of the target and shipping, it was going to be over $1,000.00. They would sell the 3/8" AR500 show model for $895.00 just so they wouldn't have to lug it back to their shop.
Cheaper to just have your own made.
I bought a full 4'x8' sheet of 3/8" AR500 this spring for $500. We cut it into various sized rectangle targets, but you could spend a couple hundred to have it water jet or plasma cut into a deer target. FWIW a full sheet makes a LOT of targets, and 3/8" is plenty if you're not using the big magnums at close range. It's the hardness of the steel that is important, more than the thickness.
