The Triple Steal Deal, ready to hang. Three full 13.5×11.5″ plates of 1/2″ AR500, about 66 lb of American-made steel, plus three T-post hangers, each with its Grade 70 chain and Grade 8 carriage-bolt kit. Drive three T-posts, drop the hangers on, and you're ringing steel the day it arrives. Save $22 vs buying the Triple and three hangers separately, and it ships FREE.
The hangers are already in the box, so this set doesn't earn extra free hangers under our $200+ hanger offer.
About the finish: Steal Deals ship in the steel mill’s factory red-oxide primer — the reddish-brown protective coat the plate comes with from the mill. 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's in the box?
3 × 13.5″ × 11.5″ plates (red oxide primer); 3 × T-post target hangers; 3 × Grade 70 chain (3 links) + Grade 8 carriage bolt & locknut, about 72.66 lb in all. Every target is 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 set it up?
Pick a spot with a proper backstop, at least the minimum distance for your caliber, and no rocks at the target's feet. Drive a standard farm-store T-post 18 to 24 inches deep, drop the included hanger over the top, then bolt the target to the chain through its mounting hole. It takes about five minutes, and the target swings freely with a slight forward lean that sends spatter into the dirt.
What does “Surface Rust” mean?
It 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 paint. It's the same steel with the 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.
Does it ship free?
Yes. Orders of $99 or more ship free in the lower 48 states, and this one qualifies on its own. To Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories most $99+ orders still ship free, but pieces too large for a standard mailing box travel as heavy ground freight; your cart shows whether your order qualifies before you check out.
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.
