Fire hose discarded as unusable by the local fire department, or old tire tread works really well. Put holes through the tire or hose, and secure the plate using grade 8 bolts and washers. The Fire hose, or tire tread takes many, MANY hits before it ever becomes a problem. Another way to put up targets is to use T posts, and a compression strap that squeezes the target onto the top of the T post when you tighten the bolts. Sure, the T posts don't survive too many direct hits, but you can usually get T posts for around $4 each at some where like Home depot.
