Description

The Portable Texas Star delivers dynamic training in a compact, highly portable package. Built from 3/8″ AR500 steel, it features five 8″ reactive paddles mounted on heavy-duty steel arms. A precision-machined hub with dual sealed bearings ensures smooth, consistent spinning with every impact, replicating the same performance as our full-size Texas Star in a smaller footprint.

Versatile Training Options
Designed for pistol, rifle, and rimfire shooting, the Portable Texas Star features an adjustable Quick-Tune spring system that lets you tailor plate release tension to your firearm’s caliber. Its modular design also supports several upgrades, including:

  • 10-Target Adapter Kit: Adds five arms and five paddles for a full 10-target spinning challenge.

  • Rimfire Paddle Option: Lightweight 1/4″ AR400 paddles, ideal for rimfire calibers and reduced-power loads.

  • Cardboard Swinger Add-On: Adds movement and reactive training with cardboard silhouettes (2×4 and targets not included).

Specifications

  • Height: 51″

  • Base footprint: 28″x28″

  • 5-target system weight: 86.5 lbs.

  • 10-target system weight: 135.5 lbs.

  • Base + Swinger weight: 41 lbs.

What’s Included (Standard 5-Paddle Kit)

  • Precision-machined hub with dual sealed bearings

  • Base stand for stability

  • Five 8″ AR500 paddles (3/8″ thick)

  • Five heavy-duty steel arms

Q&A:

Q: What calibers can I use with the Portable Texas Star?
A: It’s rated for most pistol and rifle calibers with 3/8″ AR500 paddles. For rimfire or lighter calibers, we recommend the 1/4″ AR400 Rimfire Paddle Option.

Q: Can the Portable Texas Star be upgraded?
A: Yes. You can add the 10-target adapter kit, rimfire paddles, or a Cardboard Swinger add-on for expanded training options.

Q: How portable is the system?
A: The modular design allows easy breakdown for transport and storage, making it ideal for personal ranges, competitions, or backyard training.

Q: Does it ship painted?
A: No. All targets and stands ship unpainted.

Shipping Notes
