This laser-cut steel target combines durability with the practical challenge of a recognizable predator silhouette—ideal for hunters zeroing rifles, competitive shooters refining marksmanship, or anyone looking to build confidence at distance. The 3/8" AR500 steel construction handles centerfire rifle rounds without the degradation you'd see in softer targets, making it a long-term investment for your range setup.

Birchwood Casey designed this target with the working shooter in mind. The bright white powder-coat finish cuts glare and makes bullet holes unmistakable downrange or through optics, so you get instant feedback on every shot. The laser-cut edges arrive smooth and burr-free—no sharp edges to contend with when mounting or handling. The coyote silhouette profile appeals to hunters and tactical shooters alike, offering a realistic aiming point that's more engaging than static circles.

The AR500 steel is rated to handle a maximum of 3000 ft-lbs of bullet energy, which covers most common hunting and target rounds when properly positioned and maintained. This is a no-nonsense target for shooters who expect their gear to last through seasons of use.
