ALLEN HARDROCK AR500 3/8IN IPSC TARGET 20X12
The Allen Hardrock AR500 3/8" IPSC steel shooting target is a 20x12" precision practice plate built tough enough for serious range work with both rifles and handguns. This is solid steel that doesn't flinch—AR500 armorplate rated to handle rifle fire beyond 100 yards and handgun rounds from 10 yards in, making it a workhorse for shooters who log real volume downrange. The white powdercoat finish gives you instant visual feedback on each impact, so you know exactly where your rounds are going without squinting at paper or walking downrange constantly.
The Hardrock's real strength is flexibility. Three connection points—two at the edges for chain or strap hanging, plus a center point for gong hook attachment—mean you can set this up however your range demands. Hang it stationary, swing it as a gong, or integrate it into a larger target system. At 3/8" thick, it's genuinely durable steel, not thin plate that'll crater after a few hundred rounds. This is the kind of target that rewards commitment: buy it once, shoot it hard for years.
Whether you're running an informal backyard range, setting up for rifle sight-in before a hunt, or just burning through ammo on a Saturday, the Hardrock fits into a modular setup that grows with your needs. It works solo, or it pairs with other targets and stands to build a custom range without the private-club price tag. For shooters who want feedback and durability in one piece of steel, the Hardrock delivers.
