Great place to go... Reasonable prices and every target you can imagine under the sun ready to go. Eddie is a very friendly and knowledgeable long time local. Picked up a few things like this TekMat and some Glock schwag for my man cave the other day. Definitely will be back for targets, AR parts, Glock parts, Condor gear, tactical apparel or some other thing....

Recently started to go here and i am sure glad i did. They have a full line of AR parts stocks, uppers, bolts, magpul ect.. They also sell every kind of target you can think of. The customer service is what will keep me going back without a doubt. Staff is very knowledgeable and the owner will go out of his way to make sure you get what you need and leave happy. Any true gun enthusiast knows the type of rep the gun shops have in the 626/sgv area and I'm glad Alco Target Co didn't follow that trend. Highly recommended..

Have been driving past Alco targets for the past year or two on my way to work. Recently invited by friend to go to the shooting range and wanted to pick up some targets. What better place than a local shop who specializes in targets and supplies numerous police departments. I got to meet Arthur who was such a cool person to talk to and get advice about shooting. He gave me his opinion on which targets would suite my needs and for outdoor use. I ended up getting the BT-5SB3 Shooting Target Variety Pack along with two boxes of clay pigeons and their B 27E targets. The BT 5SB3 worked very well you can see your shots through the paper. Worked very well and very pleased will definitely get more of those when i run out. Great company who makes their targets in house and supply law enforcement departments with targets. Will definitely be back check out their other items and targets. Great place for targets. Highly recommend!! read more

Staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about getting you geared up for what you need. They're not pushy at all and don't try to upsell you on anything. The times I've been there, they always ask me questions to help decide what stands or targets best suit my needs. I'm proud to support this local small business with everything being made in America. read more

Had a great experience speaking with Arthur, he helped me narrow down what type of target I needed for my specific shooting style and type. Their pricing is great based on bundles or you can purchase individuals but value wise bundles is the way to go. There steel targets and stands quality are second to none. I've had the steel target with hostage paddle for about 7 years with multiple trips on it and it still works just like day 1,I just lightly sand the face with my grinder and paint the surface and it's ready to go. I'll be definitely be buying another target system from them .If you are in the market for a steel or paper target, take a trip to Alco and talk to Arthur he will help you with the proper selection of what target you need .

I would recommend not doing business with Alco Targets. I ordered a target stand over a month ago and haven't heard a word from them. They do respond to email requests for an order status and will not return phone calls. However they did charge my credit card the day I placed the order. Not good. read more

I have been using ALCO targets for a long time. I have never had an issue...until this week. I ordered 200 D1 targets, received 200 D2 targets. Since I have never had an issue, I wondered what type of customer service they would have. I called last night and left a message, they called back this morning and told me they would check it out. Called back 30 minutes later and told me they were very sorry for the mix-up, and would be sending out the correct order today using overnight service. Now that is customer service. It doesn't mean you never make a goof, it means you make it right when you do make that goof. I am a fan. read more

Cheap, quality targets. Big selection of paper targets, located in a office/warehouse type building that's kind of hidden. Glad I found this spot, won't be running out of targets any time soon. Prices are relatively cheap also (about 20 cents a target compared to the range charging you $1 each) They also sell various gun accessories and ammo reloads. read more

My only complaint was they didn't email me about when they shipped it and it didn't disclose how much shipping was going to be before I placed my order to begin with.

I was thoroughly impressed with the selection, prices and customer service. I initially went in for an adjustable metal target base I had seen online but I ended up picking up papers along with that. They must have had over 60 different target options to choose. Then to top off all of this the female associate working the front even gave me a hand with my newborn all the way to my truck. Bottom line is I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Alco Target Company was founded in 1964 by Al Evanson, a Long Beach Police Officer who started the business as a small printing operation in his garage in Huntington Beach, California. In 1985, current owner Wayne Semain purchased the business and relocated it to its present location in Duarte, California — where we still operate today. Over the decades we've grown into a full-scale manufacturer and distributor of professional shooting targets, running large commercial printing presses and maintaining inventory of over 200 different target designs. We are an official licensed supplier of National Rifle Association (NRA) authorized competition targets and a key manufacturer and supplier for the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA). We supply indoor and outdoor shooting ranges, law enforcement agencies, military and government training programs, and the everyday shooting hobbyist. Our steel shooting targets are built exclusively from Creusabro 8000 steel — up to 50% harder than industry-standard AR500 — and our target stands are hand built right here in the USA. Family owned for over 60 years. Wholesale and bulk pricing available. Stop by our Duarte facility, call us at 626-358-4814, or order online at alcotarget.com.

History

Established in 1964.

Alco Target Company was founded in 1964 by Al Evanson, a Long Beach Police Officer, as a small printing business in his garage in Huntington Beach, California. In 1985, current owner Wayne Semain purchased the business and relocated it to Duarte, California — our home ever since. What started in a garage has grown into a manufacturer and distributor of over 200 shooting target designs, including official NRA licensed targets and USPSA competition targets. Family owned for over 60 years, we now also build our own target stands and exclusive Creusabro 8000 steel targets — all made right here in the USA.

Meet the Manager: Eddie M.

Eddie has been the face of Alco Target Company for our customers — whether you're calling in with a question or stopping by our Duarte facility in person. He knows the products inside and out, from our paper and cardboard targets to our exclusive Creusabro 8000 steel targets and hand-built USA target stands. Eddie's approach is simple: answer the phone, give straight answers, and help you find exactly what you need — whether you're a first-time shooter or a law enforcement agency placing a bulk order. That's the same philosophy Alco Target has run on since 1964. Stop by or give us a call at 626-358-4814 — there's a good chance Eddie will be the one who picks up.
