The Know Your Limits (KYL) Swinging Steel Target Plate Rack is a reactive target system designed to deliver highly audible feedback and dynamic movement for both precision training and competitive shooting. A versatile alternative to the traditional speed rack, this package includes four AR500 plates in graduated sizes, strap kits, hangers, and brackets—ready to set up with your own 2×4 lumber.
What’s Included
(1) 5" AR500 target, 1/2" thick
(1) 8" AR500 target, 3/8" thick
(1) 10" AR500 target, 3/8" thick
(1) 12" AR500 target, 3/8" thick
(4) Rubber strap kits for reactive mounting
(4) Speed rack hangers (carriage bolt/spring not included)
(1) Pair of 2×4 gong brackets
Note: 2×4 lumber is not included.
Reactive Performance
The 8" rubber strap kits provide a lively swinging motion and louder ring than static targets. Made from self-healing material, the straps withstand repeated hits but can be replaced over time. Replacement strap kits are available separately.
Stand Setup
This plate rack mounts easily to 2×4 uprights using the included brackets. For best results, cut the cross section to 48–60 inches and the four legs between 60–80 inches. For longer-lasting legs, use conduit with our 2×4 hybrid brackets (sold separately).
Durability and Safety
All plates are CNC laser-cut from AR500 steel for long service life. Maintain safe shooting distances, and avoid steel-core or armor-piercing ammunition to prevent damage. Targets and stands ship unpainted.
