The Birchwood Casey CFKYL38 Centerfire KYL 3/8" steel target delivers precision training for serious shooters who demand consistent feedback. This black steel standing target system provides instant audible confirmation of hits while withstanding thousands of rounds from centerfire cartridges. Built for competition training and skill development, it transforms static range sessions into dynamic shooting experiences.
What Makes This Different
Unlike paper targets that require constant replacement, this hardened steel construction provides immediate feedback through distinctive ring sounds upon impact. The 3/8-inch thick AR500 steel plate handles repeated strikes from centerfire ammunition without deformation or pitting. Standard paper targets offer no audible confirmation and create downtime for scoring, while this system keeps shooters engaged with instant hit verification.
