Birchwood Casey BC-SQR8-38 AR500 Steel 8" Square Shooting Target

The Birchwood Casey BC-SQR8-38 delivers consistent target feedback with its 3/8-inch AR500 steel construction that withstands repeated centerfire impacts. This 8-inch square gong target provides audible confirmation of hits while maintaining structural integrity through thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

AR500 steel construction sets this target apart from mild steel alternatives that dent and crater after minimal use. The 3/8-inch thickness provides the optimal balance between durability and weight for portable shooting applications. While thinner targets fail quickly under centerfire loads, this specification handles everything from .223 Remington to .308 Winchester without permanent deformation when used at appropriate distances.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch AR500 steel construction rated for centerfire rifle cartridges
• 8-inch square design provides clear aiming point and audible feedback

This target excels in precision rifle training where immediate feedback improves shooting fundamentals. Competition shooters rely on the consistent ring to confirm hits during rapid-fire sequences. The AR500 steel maintains its shape through temperature extremes and weather exposure, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use. Law enforcement training facilities choose this specification for its ability to handle high-volume shooting without replacement.
