Performance & Durability
Cut from 1/2″ AR550 steel, these targets are engineered to withstand repeated use from centerfire pistols and rifles up to .338 Lapua Magnum at 200 yards. AR550 provides superior hardness compared to AR500, resisting pitting and edge wear from higher-velocity rounds like .223/5.56 NATO. Each silhouette features 1/2″ mounting holes for carriage bolts, making setup easy with a steel post, 2×4, or T-post system.
