Caldwell AR500 Steel Targets, Rifle Rated, 3/8" Steel, for Range, Practice Shooting, and Outdoors

I recently added the Caldwell High Caliber AR500 Steel Targets to my range setup, and they've exceeded all expectations. The 3/8" thick AR500 steel construction is incredibly durable, handling thousands of rounds without significant wear.The audible feedback is immediate and satisfying, making each hit unmistakable. The powder-coated finish not only enhances visibility but also resists corrosion, ensuring longevity even in varying weather conditions.Setting up was straightforward, and the targets are compatible with various hanging solutions, offering flexibility in arrangement. Whether I'm practicing with handguns or rifles, these targets withstand the impact, maintaining their integrity and providing consistent performance.Overall, the Caldwell AR500 Steel Targets are a valuable addition for anyone serious about shooting practice. Their durability, clarity of feedback, and ease of use make them a top choice for both beginners and seasoned shooters.

I was skeptical when I saw this gong is made in China. But, on the range, it has proven to be of very high quality. Heat treatment seems consistent right to the very edge of the material.I've shot this plate (at 200 yards) with 5.56, 7.62x51, .308, 7.62x39, 7.92x57. Only M855, with its mild steel core, caused any deformation of the plate. Even then, only VERY minor cratering.This plate is a bit small at 200 yards but is a very manageable challenge wIth a scoped rifle.The finish is a baked epoxy type paint or maybe powder coated. It doesn't last long after the bullets start hitting though. But white spray paint fixes it right up.I haven't left it out on the range so I cant say how quickly it rusts.When I was shopping for AR500, this seemed like the most affordable optional it has definitely not disappointed me.I prefer American, when it makes sense, but I cant remember ever having been disappointed by Caldwell products.

Good stuff, good size for 600yard - my level :)

Very good durability and works as intended.

I'll be honest, I didn't read description. This particular item is small, it fits in the handle and is barely larger. Again my fault, however the images in description don't actually show true size. Other than that it does appear solid, great powder coat. Some good weight. Wish I would have paid better attention to dimensions. 6.5 widely 10 tall. Guess if I can hit this on the regular I'm good to go.

Good product. Good deal
