How to Glue Ballistic Rubber to a Surface
How to Glue Ballistic Rubber to Steel At CRS, we get a lot of questions about the best way to glue our ballistic rubber parts to a surface. The majority of customers will be gluing the material to steel, cement, or wood. While there are a few different methods that will work, we’ve found that Loctite PL is a glue that many of our customers have had success with. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure a strong bond between rubber and steel. Method 1: If the glue you are using is having a difficult time bonding to the vulcanized rubber, try using a belt-type sander with 40 grit extremely coarse paper. Rapidly “grind” the back side of the rubber to create a scored surface for the adhesive to grip to. Apply polyurethane adhesive such as Loctite PL Premium 28 fl. oz. Polyurethane Construction Adhesive. Method 2: A second technique is…
Hollow Point vs Full Metal Jacket
What happens when you shoot hollow point rounds into Ballistic Rubber? And how does it compare to FMJ? If you look closely at the side-by-side photos, the Hollow Point round takes more away from the ballistic rubber sheet than the FMJ. The ballistic rubber product is made to self-heal, meaning it will revert back to its original form. The only hindrance is when the bullet takes rubber with it.

How to Improve Your Hunting Skills
So you want to be a better hunter, eh? I don’t blame you. After all, hunting is both a challenging and rewarding sport.

A lot of practice.

CRS vs The Other Guys
Ever wonder what a CRS Ballistic Block looks like after 3000 rounds compared to “the other guys”? Check out this video; it should give you some perspective on CRS longevity. 3000 rounds and counting! Let us look into the math behind the blocks. After the testing, the 107 lb CRS block weighed 119 lbs. The 76 lb Other Guys block weighed 81.6 lbs. What does this mean? This means that the CRS Ballistic block holds 12 lbs of lead. Meanwhile, the “Other Guys” Block has 5.6 lbs. Why is this important? It means the CRS block is doing its job. After 3000 rounds, the CRS block is holding double the amount of lead. This also tells us that “The Other Guys” block allows a substantial amount of round pass through. If the lead is not in the block, it is going through the block and hitting objects behind the rubber.…
