The do-everything practice target. 12" × 20" two-thirds IPSC silhouette in heavy 1/2" AR500 — thicker than the 3/8" most shops sell, so it shrugs off magnum pistol and rifle hits at safe distance. Hang it, stand it, beat on it for years. Made in the USA.

Pick your finish: Surface Rust ships in the steel mill’s factory red-oxide primer and costs less. Painted comes finished in white so your hits show. Same American-made 1/2″ AR500, same shape, same rating either way. Paint or primer, the finish lasts exactly until your first shot.

Hangs from any standard T-post with our T-post hangers — see the best ways to hang steel targets.

About the “Surface Rust” name: that finish ships in the steel mill’s factory red-oxide primer — the reddish-brown protective coat the plate comes with from the mill — instead of our painted finish. The finish has no effect on hardness or rating.

Safety: rated for standard lead-core ammo at safe minimum distances (handgun ~10 yd, rifle ~100 yd). No steel-core/AP/green-tip. Eye protection required. Use at your own risk.

Questions & answers

What size is it, and how much does it weigh?

11-11/16″ × 19-1/2″ (297 × 495 mm), about 25.9 lb, in 1/2″ mill-certified AR500 steel.

How far away should I stand when shooting it?

With standard lead-core ammo on undamaged 1/2″ AR500: at least 10 yards for standard pistol (9mm, .40, .45), 15 yards for magnum pistol and pistol-caliber carbines, 25 yards for .22 LR rimfire and birdshot, and 100 yards for centerfire rifle (5.56, .308, etc.) and shotgun slugs. Increase distance for magnum calibers and when the plate shows wear.

Can I shoot rifles at it?

Yes. 1/2″ AR500 is built for centerfire rifle such as 5.56/.223 and .308 at 100 yards or more, and it handles magnum pistol at safe distance. It is not rated for .50 BMG, .416 Barrett or .408 CheyTac; those need our 3/4″ Big Bore Series.

What ammo should I never shoot at it?

Never steel-core, armor-piercing, bi-metal jacket, incendiary or green-tip (M855/SS109) ammunition. These damage the plate and can ricochet whole instead of breaking up. Run a magnet over surplus ammo first: anything magnetic stays off steel.

How do I hang it?

Mounting holes: 3 × 9/16″ square (2 at the shoulders, 1 center). Hanging hardware isn't included: pair it with our T-post hanger, which comes with a 3-link Grade 70 chain and a Grade 8 bolt kit, on a standard farm-store T-post. Hang it so it swings freely with a slight downward lean toward the shooter, which sends spatter into the dirt.

What's the difference between Surface Rust and Painted?

Only the finish. Surface Rust ships in the steel mill's factory red-oxide primer, the reddish-brown protective coat the plate comes with from the mill, and costs less. Painted ships in our paint so your hits show. Same steel, same rating: the finish has no effect on hardness, and paint or primer only lasts until the first shot anyway.

When should I retire it?

Inspect it before every session. Retire any plate with craters, pitting or deep gouges, or one that has been hit with the wrong ammo even once: damaged steel deflects unpredictably.

Is it made in the USA?

Yes. Every target starts as American mill-certified AR500 plate and is deburred by hand and finished in an American fab shop.

How much is shipping?

A flat $12.95 per order in the lower 48 states, and free on orders of $99 or more. Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territory orders ship at the rate shown at checkout. We ship only within the United States.

Can I return it?

Unused, unfired targets can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the purchase price; you pay return shipping. Targets that have been shot can't be returned. If your order arrives damaged, email photos within 48 hours of delivery and we'll replace or refund it.
