The Hardox® 1/2" AR550 Static Target Bundle gives you four steel targets in one package: one 12"x20" silhouette and three 5" round static targets. Every target is CNC laser-cut from Swedish-made 1/2" Hardox® AR550 steel and manufactured in the United States. The mix of one larger silhouette and three smaller round plates gives shooters multiple target sizes for precision work, transitions and practical shooting drills.
Hardox® AR550 is harder than AR500 and offers increased resistance to pitting and surface deformation, particularly with higher-velocity rifle impacts. Each target includes a mounting hole designed for 1/2" hardware and can be mounted to a compatible steel post, 2x4 or other stable structure. Grade 5 or higher mounting hardware is recommended and is not included.
