Target Stand AR500 Steel Target System - 12" x 20" Hostage Target with 2x4 Stand Mount Kit

Price seems too good to be true. Bought it and was very impressed! Held up to 00 buck at 15 yards. No damage with 556/9mm/6ARC. Can't beat it for the price. Might need a sand bag for the base if you're banging the steel with larger calibers.

Works and does what it’s intended to do. Stand is easy to assemble but requires something to really hold it down if your going to be leaving it up or on unstable ground. Couple chunks of block worked for me. Happened to have a can of rust oleum key lime paint that I noticed looked close. Ended up being a near perfect match for the factory color. Hostage target is a blast and I like the pressure of putting a round there as practice. It certainly works with 22lr but doesn’t reliably flip from side to side which is understandable as it’s really designed for larger rounds. Just wish they would have cut the round pieces that hold it on smoother. Looks like they are cut with a torch or plasma and are very rough which interferes with its moving. Already bought a 1/2 inch silhouette target to be able to switch targets and for the big rounds which is equally great.

High quality steel, this is the one you want to buy.

The silhouette hangs at a downward angle measured at 11 degrees. Put in a beveled washer to correct to 20. Assuming that matters to you. 20 degrees would be safer when firing upon this target at shorter distances. This AR500 steel had no divots after being hit with FMJ 9mm and 22lr at 25 yards. The orange plate swings back and forth adequately when struck. Some assembly is required. You will need a 4 ft long 2x4, or cut the wood to whatever height you choose. Will also need a drill in order to make 2 holes to mount the steel holder, and a set of wrenches or an adjustable wrench. 3/4 inch sized wrench needed to tighten the nut that fastens the large carriage bolt holding up the plate. Thankfully hardware was provided and nothing was missing. Kit comes with one Allen key. This kit is a bargain at half the price of similar sized AR 500 3/8 inch steel targets+ stands. Also know that these are not rimfire targets, so don't expect rimfire calibers like 22lr to hit with enough force to swing the orange circle gong, as this kit is not made with lighter steel found on rimfire targets.

I bought this for my fiance and he took it to a range with his buddies and they shot it with pistols, rifles, and a 12g Shotgun and it held up great! Super easy to assemble. All it needs is a 4ft-5ft 2x4 piece and you can go to home depot and have them cut it for you. 2 pieces is $3.25 so super cheap
