Champion Targets 44909 AR500 Steel 8" Pistol Target 0.25" Thick

The Champion Targets 44909 Center Mass delivers precision shooting practice with AR500 steel construction that withstands thousands of rounds. This 8-inch square pistol target provides instant audible and visual feedback for improved accuracy training. The 0.25-inch thickness handles pistol calibers up to .44 Magnum while maintaining structural integrity shot after shot.

What Makes This Different

AR500 steel construction sets this target apart from standard mild steel alternatives that dent and deform after minimal use. The hardened steel surface deflects bullets downward at safe angles, preventing dangerous ricochets common with softer materials. Champion engineered this target with a 0.25-inch thickness specifically optimized for pistol training, providing the perfect balance of durability and portability at 4.2 pounds.
