Birchwood Casey 47022 AR500 Steel Rimfire Target 0.19" Thick

The Birchwood Casey 47022 World of Targets Gallery rimfire steel target delivers instant feedback for precision shooting practice with .22 caliber firearms. This AR500 steel target features enhanced visibility with high-contrast black and orange coloring that makes impact points clearly visible at distance.

What Makes This Different

AR500 steel construction provides superior durability compared to mild steel targets that pit and crater after minimal use. The 0.19-inch thickness rating handles repeated impacts from rimfire cartridges up to .22 WMR velocities. Motion-activated design creates dynamic shooting scenarios that static paper targets cannot replicate, improving reaction time and target acquisition skills.

Key Features

• AR500 hardened steel construction rated for thousands of rimfire impacts
• High-visibility black and orange finish enhances target contrast
• 0.19-inch thickness optimized for .22 LR through .22 WMR cartridges
• Motion enhancement system creates reactive shooting challenges
• Rimfire-specific design prevents over-penetration and ricochet issues

Range performance demonstrates consistent reliability across temperature extremes and weather conditions. The hardened steel surface deflects bullets downward at safe angles when properly angled, making it suitable for both pistol and rifle training scenarios. Competitive shooters benefit from immediate audible and visual feedback that eliminates the need for spotting scopes or frequent target changes during extended practice sessions.
