3/8" AR500 Steel Target Kit | All-in-One Package

The 3/8" AR500 Steel Target Kit | All-in-One Package combines three steel targets, three static target hangers and a static steel target stand in one setup. The kit includes a 9"x15" silhouette, 12" round target and 8" round target, giving you multiple strike areas for accuracy drills, transitions and general range training. Each target is CNC laser-cut from domestic 3/8" AR500 steel and made in the USA.

All three targets are rated for centerfire handguns and short-action rifles through .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor at the proper minimum shooting distances. Each plate includes 1/2" mounting holes for use with Grade 5 or stronger hardware. The static steel target stand is zinc-plated for weather resistance, and the three included hangers let you change target profiles as your drills change. For additional cartridge guidance, see the Shoot Steel Cartridge Guide.
