Description

The DIY KYL Rack Stand Kit is designed for shooters who want to build their own Know Your Limits rack with complete flexibility. While ShootSteel offers ready-to-use KYL racks, this kit is for those who prefer to customize rack width, target count, leg length, and overall configuration. It includes two end brackets and six pins, giving you the hardware foundation to assemble your rack once you cut EMT tubing to your preferred dimensions.

What is a KYL Rack?
“Know Your Limits” (KYL) targets are widely used in rimfire and precision rifle competitions. The challenge is simple: hit each target in sequence, progressing to smaller sizes. If you miss, you lose all your points. This high-risk, high-reward setup trains accuracy, discipline, and mental focus—making KYL racks a must-have tool for precision shooters.
