AR500 Steel Construction and Durability

The 3/8-inch AR500 steel plate absorbs high-velocity rounds consistently without cratering or spalling—critical for shooters who log serious rounds downrange. Animal silhouettes let you zero on vital zones under realistic conditions. Unlike paper targets that tear or clay systems requiring reset, steel rings on impact and stays ready for your next shot. Check our California gun-buyer FAQ for range setup guidance and safety protocols before heading out. TacticCAL is your local firearms dealer in the Bay Area.
