Where to buy "duraseal" in sheets?

aarondhgraham · January 22, 2015, 11:54 AM

I would like to buy some of the Duraseal that is used in Champion brand targets.

Champion Targets

Does anyone know of a source for this?

I've Googled but haven't had any success.

My guess is it's a proprietary plastic that Champion has in-house. Likewise if you find other target companies like say this Do All Groundhog they have their own version of self-healing plastic/rubber. But they can't call it Duraseal because Champion trademarked that name.

The searches I did found several "trademarked" products with the same name, but none were the material used in the targets

I was hoping one of them would see this,,,
And be able to tell me what product name to order.

Surely it's used in something else other than targets.

Oh well,,,

Thanks gentlemen.

How about many layers of rubber sheeting, the thickest available.
Just about anything works for a reactive target, even if the bullet passes through, if it has enough mass to react with the bullet.
I've used many layers of glued cardboard, wood, all kinds of things where steel wasn't allowed.

Yeah, so have I,,,
But I'm somewhat of a lazy man,,,
I would like something I don't have to remake every other range trip.

What I had in mind was making self-sealing targets for my faux steel challenge poles.

I need 5 each of the 10" circles,,,
Birchwood Casey and Champion targets run 25-35 bucks each.

I was thinking the raw sheets of the self-seal material might be cheaper.

Interesting idea. It may be difficult to cut.
Rubber car floor mats feel about the same as the champion targets.
