KNINE OUTDOORSAR500 Steel Target for Shooting, 1/2 inch Thick Metal Target, Silhouette Metal Gong Target, Neon Orange Color

I have absolutely put these to the test (I purchased another after seeing the first ones performance), and they have proved themselves worthy! I regularly use these for my training, consisting of everything from 22lr, 9mm, 5.56, and 300 blackout - and they can take it all! Of course, for both safety and longevity; I recommend staying at least 7 yards back from lower caliber (up to 9mm) and 20 yards for stuff like 5.56. These have seen hundreds of rounds and have yet shown any serious pitting. The only thing that WILL inevitably fail, is the hanging bolt face. It is made of a cheaper alloy, and 5.56 and higher calibers will definitely eat it up after awhile. Thankfully, these are easily replaced, and they come with a back up out of the box. Otherwise; 100% worth every penny for the serious shooter who wants to set up their own training ground.

I spent a hundred and fifty dollars building a strap hanging metal target bigger than this one. It doesn’t always ring when hit, it sways around.This single vertical 2x4 with an X base of 2x6 can be made in an hour and the hardware attached in minutes. If you destroy the vertical 2x4 it’s easy and cheap to replace. The hardware hangs at an angle the bottom towards the post. The bolt holding the target has a heavy spring that absorbs the bullet impact and resets the target. If you hit it there’s a ring!The metal target is good for.22 7yards, 9mm 25 yards, soft point rifle center fire 100 yards or more. I think it will last quite well as the target protects the hardware. I am happy with my purchase.

My wife and I love shooting, having to constantly buy paper targets was annoying. Bought an ar500 target had someone make me a stand and buy a 2x4 very worth it. Its durability, ease of use, appearance, and performance is great! The value for money is totally worth changing from paper targets!

I was excited to receive my package. As I was finishing up assembling the metal bracket on the 2x4 with the provided Allen key, the weld where the small bolt goes into broke off. See uploaded pictures. This won’t affect the use of the shooting target, but for the $59.97 that I paid I didn’t expect this.***UPDATE***Upon reading my review customer service quickly sent me a replacement. Very well pleased. Thank you!
