The Caldwell Dual Spinner AR500 Steel Target transforms static shooting practice into dynamic training with two spinning plates that provide instant visual and audible feedback. This standing target system features both 5-inch and 8-inch AR500 steel plates mounted on a robust yellow frame designed for high-visibility range use.
What Makes This Different
Unlike stationary steel targets, this dual spinner configuration creates unpredictable movement after impact, forcing shooters to track and re-engage moving targets. The AR500 steel construction withstands repeated impacts from centerfire rifle cartridges up to 3,000 fps when used at appropriate distances. The bright yellow frame ensures maximum visibility against varied backstops and lighting conditions.
Key Features
- Two spinning plates (5" and 8") for varied target sizes and skill development
- AR500 steel construction rated for high-velocity centerfire rifle cartridges
- 3/8" thick steel plates provide durability for thousands of rounds
- Bright yellow powder-coated frame for enhanced visibility
- Self-standing design requires no additional mounting hardware
- Spinning action provides immediate hit confirmation
- Portable construction allows easy transport and setup
The spinning mechanism engages with sufficient impact energy, making this target suitable for pistol calibers at close range and rifle calibers at appropriate distances. Competition shooters use dual spinner targets to develop tracking skills and rapid target acquisition. The varied plate sizes challenge accuracy at different skill levels while the movement component adds realistic training scenarios.
