The 1/4" AR400 Rimfire KYL Rack | 5-Target is built for shooters looking for a tougher Know Your Limits challenge. Choose between two five-target configurations: .25", .5", .75", 1" and 1.5" targets or .5", .75", 1", 1.5" and 2" targets. Every target, hanger and stand bracket is CNC laser-cut from domestic 1/4" AR400 steel. The rack is fully modular, allowing individual components to be replaced without replacing the entire system. Made in the USA.
The KYL format tests accuracy and shot discipline by giving you a progression of increasingly difficult strike faces. The .25" option creates an especially demanding precision challenge, while the .5"-to-2" configuration provides a slightly larger progression. The rack uses spacers, hangers and stand brackets without heavy chain, keeping the system compact and straightforward.
