Caldwell AR500 Steel Target 10"x6" Yellow Powder Coat 3/8" Thick

The Caldwell AR500 Steel Target delivers consistent performance for rifle and pistol shooting practice with its bright yellow powder coat finish that enhances visibility and bullet impact recognition. This 10-inch by 6-inch steel plate withstands repeated impacts from centerfire cartridges while providing clear audio and visual feedback for every hit.

What Makes This Different

Authentic AR500 steel construction provides superior durability compared to mild steel targets that dent and crater after minimal use. The 3/8-inch thickness handles rifle cartridges up to 3,000 fps muzzle velocity when used at appropriate distances, while the yellow powder coat finish resists corrosion and maintains visibility in various lighting conditions. This target maintains its structural integrity through thousands of rounds without the face cratering common in softer steel alternatives.

Key Features

• AR500 armor-grade steel rated for centerfire rifle and pistol cartridges
• High-visibility yellow powder coat finish for enhanced target acquisition
• 3/8-inch thickness provides optimal balance of durability and portability
• 10" x 6" dimensions offer substantial target area for precision practice
• Hanging hole configuration allows versatile mounting options
• Hardness rating of 500 BHN resists deformation and extends target life
• Smooth face prevents bullet fragmentation and reduces ricochet risk

Field testing demonstrates reliable performance across multiple shooting disciplines, from precision rifle training to dynamic pistol drills. The target's acoustic signature provides immediate feedback for rapid-fire sequences, while the powder coat finish maintains visibility even after extensive use. Weather resistance ensures consistent performance in outdoor environments, with the coating protecting against rust and corrosion during storage.
