B/C AR500 3/8" SILHOUETTE TEXAS WHT

The Birchwood Casey AR500 3/8" Silhouette Texas steel target is a durable, laser-cut shooting target built for serious practice at the range or competition prep. Crafted from AR500 steel, this target handles repeated impact from centerfire rifle rounds up to 3000 ft-lbs of energy, making it suitable for handgun and rifle training without the wear and degradation you'd see in softer steel or reactive targets. The bright white powder coat finish keeps the silhouette clearly visible downrange, whether you're shooting at 25 yards or pushing distance, and the precision laser-cut edges deliver a smooth, burr-free profile that won't compromise safety or longevity.

AR500 silhouette targets reward accurate shooting and give you immediate visual feedback—hits register clearly, and you can see your groups take shape. Unlike paper or cardboard targets that require frequent replacement, this steel target stands up to thousands of rounds, making it a smart investment for shooters who log regular range time. The rugged construction and multiple mounting options mean you can set it up in your backyard range, at a public facility, or integrate it into a training system. Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, drilling fundamentals, or logging trigger time before a match, a quality steel target like this one keeps you focused on what matters: your shot placement.

Birchwood Casey has built a solid reputation serving both casual shooters and serious competitors, and this target reflects their no-nonsense approach to range gear. It's the kind of piece that works the first day and the thousandth day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this target with both rifle and handgun rounds?

Yes. The AR500 steel and 3/8" thickness are designed to handle both rifle and handgun fire, up to the 3000 ft-lbs maximum energy rating. Always verify that your ammunition stays within that energy threshold.

What makes AR500 steel better than other target materials?

AR500 is a hardened steel alloy that resists deformation and spalling far better than mild steel or reactive materials. This means the target lasts through many more shots before needing replacement, saving you money over time and keeping your range setup consistent.

How do I mount this target?

The target offers multiple mounting options, allowing you to set it up on stands, frames, or your existing range infrastructure. Specific mounting hardware is not included in this description; confirm compatibility with your range setup before purchase.

Why does the white finish matter?

The bright white powder coat creates high contrast against the target and the surrounding berm, making bullet impacts easy to spot and your groups easy to evaluate downrange. This visibility translates to better feedback on your shot placement.
