Birchwood Casey BC-47709 AR500 Steel Boar Target 3/8" Centerfire

The Birchwood Casey BC-47709 transforms static range sessions into dynamic shooting practice with its precision-cut boar silhouette design. This AR500 steel target delivers the audible feedback and visual confirmation that paper targets simply cannot match. Built from hardened steel rated for centerfire rifle cartridges, it withstands thousands of rounds while maintaining its structural integrity.

What Makes This Different

Unlike mild steel targets that dent and deform after minimal use, this 3/8-inch AR500 steel construction maintains its shape through extended shooting sessions. The boar silhouette profile provides multiple aiming zones from vitals to extremities, creating training scenarios that mirror real hunting situations. Standard paper targets offer no feedback beyond visual holes, while this steel target produces an unmistakable ring with each successful hit.
