Description
The PPT Starter Bundle 1/2 AR550 Steel Targets is an all-in-one setup trusted by Pew Pew Tactical for shooters getting started with steel. This bundle includes three static targets in versatile sizes: a 12″x20″ silhouette, an 8″ round, and a 5″ round—giving you everything you need to build a training station for accuracy and transition drills.
Built for Handguns & Rifles up to .338 Lapua Magnum
Made from 1/2″ AR550 steel, these targets provide maximum durability and superior resistance to pitting compared to AR500, especially under high-velocity impacts from .223/5.56 NATO and similar rounds. Rated for pistols and rifles up to .338 Lapua Magnum (minimum safe distance: 200 yards with rifles).
CNC Laser-Cut for Strength & Consistency
Every target is CNC laser cut, ensuring precision sizing, smooth edges, and reduced heat-affected zones. This manufacturing process results in longer-lasting targets compared to plasma-cut alternatives.
Versatile Mounting Options
All targets are cut to accept 1/2″ carriage bolts, allowing easy setup on steel posts, 2x4s, or compatible target stands. Grade 5 or stronger hardware is recommended. Each target ships unpainted with a weather-resistant Hardox coating for extended outdoor use.
