Description

The DIY KYL Rimfire Targets (1/4″ AR400) are designed for shooters who want to create a custom Know Your Limits rack. Each target ships with two hangers for mounting to your own EMT cross bar, letting you choose exactly how many targets and what sizes to include in your setup.

What is a KYL Rack?
KYL, or “Know Your Limits,” targets are a precision shooting staple. The challenge: hit progressively smaller targets in order, but if you miss, you lose all your points. This high-risk, high-reward system sharpens accuracy, patience, and shot discipline. Whether you’re a competitor or a backyard rimfire enthusiast, KYL racks provide endless training value and fun.
