The Birchwood Casey 47604 World of Targets AR500 steel target eliminates the frustration of paper targets that tear and blow away during shooting sessions. This 8-inch steel circle target provides instant feedback with audible confirmation of hits, making range time more productive for pistol and rifle shooters alike.

What Makes This Different

Unlike mild steel targets that dent and crater after minimal use, this target utilizes genuine AR500 armor-grade steel rated for high-velocity impacts. The 0.38-inch thickness handles repeated strikes from pistol rounds and rifle cartridges up to 3,000 fps when used at appropriate distances. The dual-zone design features contrasting black and orange sections with precision crosshair and diamond aiming points for varied training scenarios.
