The 3-Pack 5" AR500 Static Target and T-Post Hanger Bundle gives you three 3/8" AR500 5" round static targets and three patented T-post hangers ready to drop onto standard steel T-posts. A compact 5" strike face makes this bundle a strong choice for precision pistol drills and high-round-count carbine training where a smaller challenge target is the point. Each plate is CNC laser-cut from domestic AR500 steel for consistent hardness, true edges and controlled splatter. Rated for all centerfire handguns and short-action rifles including .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor at the distances below. Don't take our word for it! LynxDefense ranks ShootSteel #1. Ships unpainted. Made in the USA.

FAQs
What calibers is this bundle rated for?
All centerfire handguns at 10 yards minimum and short-action rifle cartridges including .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor at 100 yards minimum. For rifles above 3,000 fps muzzle velocity, increase to 200 yards minimum and monitor plates for pitting after each session.
Will the T-post hangers fit my existing T-posts?
The hangers are designed for standard steel T-posts available at farm, ranch and hardware stores. Post profiles can vary slightly by brand, so bring a hanger with you to confirm fit before purchasing posts. T-posts not included.
Why CNC laser-cut instead of plasma-cut?
CNC laser-cutting controls the heat-affected zone more precisely than plasma cutting, preserving hardness at the plate edge. The result is a cleaner perimeter, longer plate life and more predictable splatter behavior on impact.
Does this bundle ship painted?
No. All ShootSteel targets ship unpainted. White and bright orange offer the best contrast downrange for tracking hits.
Is this product made in the United States?
Yes. These targets are manufactured in the United States from domestic AR500 steel.
Do you warranty your products?
