Targets are how shooting becomes training. The right target gives you clear, honest feedback on every shot — and the immediate reward of a hit is what keeps practice fun and productive. This category covers steel targets, paper and cardboard targets, and reactive targets for handgun, rifle, and rimfire practice at every distance.
Steel targets give instant audible and visual feedback — the satisfying ring that tells you it was a hit without walking downrange. Quality AR500 hardened steel stands up to repeated impacts when used correctly. Always follow the manufacturer's minimum-distance and caliber ratings, angle the steel to deflect splatter downward, and wear eye protection.
Paper and cardboard targets are the standard for measuring precision and diagnosing your shooting. Silhouette, bullseye, and grid targets let you track group size, zero a rifle, and work on fundamentals. They are cheap enough to burn through by the stack, so keep plenty on hand.
Reactive targets — spinners, poppers, and self-resetting designs — add motion and challenge that make practice engaging and build speed. They are especially good for new shooters and for keeping training sessions fun enough that you actually keep showing up.
Yes, when used correctly. Use hardened steel rated for your caliber, observe the minimum safe distance (commonly 10 yards for pistol and farther for rifle), angle the target to deflect fragments downward, and always wear eye protection.
AR500 is an abrasion-resistant hardened steel that holds up to repeated rifle and pistol impacts without significant cratering, as long as you stay within its rated calibers and distances.
