Birchwood Casey AR500 3/8″ Silhouette Plate Target 3-Hole Elk

Precision shooters need steel targets that ring true and hold up to sustained fire. The AR500 3/8" silhouette plate delivers both, with a three-hole elk design that lets you practice multiple shot sequences. If you're running drills or zeroing a new setup, you'll appreciate durable steel that won't crater under centerfire rounds.

Why AR500 Steel Works for Long-Range Training

AR500 steel is engineered to withstand repeated impacts from rifle and pistol rounds without pitting or warping. The 3/8" thickness handles standard centerfire velocities reliably, while the silhouette profile gives you feedback on accuracy without guesswork. Three distinct impact zones mean you can vary your practice routine and track shot placement across multiple target areas. TacticCAL Gun Store stocks Birchwood Casey targets for shooters who demand consistency and longevity in their range setup. Browse our gun shop.

Frequently asked questions

What impact velocities does the 3/8" AR500 steel handle safely?

AR500 steel rated at 3/8" thickness handles standard rifle and pistol rounds reliably. Always follow manufacturer distance guidelines and wear appropriate eye protection. Impact velocity depends on caliber and distance—higher velocity impacts at close range may cause spalling.

Can I hang this silhouette target from a chain or frame mount?

Yes. The target design supports suspended mounting via frame or chain systems. Ensure your mounting hardware is rated for the 13.9 lb weight and positioned so impacts won't destabilize the target or create unsafe ricochets.
