The target shown here has over 500,000 hits on it according to Frank. He stated to Mike Gibson, President of MGM Targets, "This target was one of the targets that you sent to Baghdad along with some bullet traps. That target was used 24/7 for 4 years training over 3000 troops day and night. I truly believe in your product." Frank Garcia is a International and U.S. Champion as well as a USPSA Grand Master. He is NRA certified with over 20 years of practical shooting. His personal accomplishments reflect the quality of the courses he teaches at Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, FL.
Mike Gibson remarking on the target that has absorbed over 500,000 hits stated, "As any shooter knows this represents a remarkable accomplishment that other target manufacturers can only dream about. Using and monitoring the quality of the steel we purchase along with the unique designs of our targets allows for this type of longevity in our targets. We are always proud of what we produce here at MGM Targets but when a customer chooses to give our product a plug such as Frank and Universal Shooting Academy have done, we are honored ."

MGM's Vice President, Travis Gibson, stated, "This is exactly the type of performance we expect from all of our targets. With our innovative cutting, manufacturing, and design techniques and efforts to continually improve all of our products, quite frankly I'd be surprised if there are any other targets on the market that could make this claim. We are honored that Mr. Garcia and many other of the world's best trainers have the confidence in our products to use them in their classes."
