Description
The Speed Plate Rack Target System is a cost-effective way to build a functional plate rack for steel shooting practice. This DIY kit includes five 8-inch AR500 steel static targets and speed rack hangers designed to attach to a 2×4 cross-member (2×4 not included). The hangers are zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, and all mounting hardware is included. Targets ship unpainted, allowing for custom finishing.
Material and Construction
Each plate is made from (Confirm:) 3/8″ AR500 steel, capable of handling a variety of pistol and rifle calibers at appropriate distances. Precision cutting ensures clean edges, and the AR500 hardness provides durability for repeated impact. The optional 40-inch EMT conduit legs position the targets approximately 24 inches above ground for optimal visibility and shooting comfort.
Setup and Compatibility
Assembly is straightforward: slide the hangers over the cross beam, attach the plates with the supplied hardware, and your rack is ready for use. The modular design allows spacing adjustments and the use of other compatible static plates. For a custom setup, the Speed Rack Hanger can be purchased separately and paired with different plate sizes.
Safety and Use Recommendations
Observe safe shooting practices when using AR500 steel. Minimum recommended distances are 10 yards for pistols and 100 yards for rifles (depending on caliber). Avoid steel-core or armor-piercing ammunition to prevent damage to the target face and ensure safe bullet deflection.
FAQ
