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 CNC laser cut 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, shotgun, 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:

- Rimfire Paddle Option: Lightweight 1/4" AR400 paddles, ideal for 22LR and 22Mag.
