Birchwood Casey 6" AR500 Steel Target Circle with Crosshair & Diamond Hanging - Black/Orange

The Birchwood Casey 6" AR500 steel target circle is a durable, reactive shooting target built to handle centerfire rifle and handgun rounds at the range or in the field. At 6 inches in diameter with a 3/8" thick AR500 steel construction, this target delivers reliable performance for practice, zeroing, and skill building—whether you're a precision rifle shooter fine-tuning your load or a handgun enthusiast working on accuracy. The bold black and orange contrast makes bullet holes easy to spot downrange, while the crosshair and diamond aiming reference help you dial in your shots with confidence.

AR500 steel is the go-to material for shooters who demand longevity and minimal deformation shot after shot. Unlike paper or reactive targets, this steel circle can handle repeated impacts and stands up to the punishment of regular use at the range. The included hanging hardware makes setup quick and straightforward—mount it to a stand, berm, or range frame and get to work.

Birchwood Casey targets are built for the working shooter: no nonsense, made to last, and affordable enough to keep you stocked for frequent range days. If you're zeroing an AR, sighting in a hunting rifle, or logging trigger time with a handgun, a solid steel target that doesn't require replacement after a few trips to the range is money well spent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this AR500 steel target safe for rifle and handgun shooting?

Yes. The 6-inch target is rated for both centerfire rifle and handgun use, with 3/8" AR500 steel thick enough to handle repeated impact from standard ammunition without dangerous deflection or spall.

How do I set up and mount this target?

Hanging hardware is included with the target, allowing you to attach it to a target stand, berm frame, or backtop quickly. Follow standard range setup practices and ensure proper backstop protection.

What's the advantage of AR500 steel over paper or reactive targets?

AR500 steel is engineered to resist deformation and spalling, so you can shoot it repeatedly without replacement. Paper and reactive targets deteriorate after each session; steel targets last much longer with proper care and setup, making them a better long-term investment for frequent shooters.

How visible are the bullet holes on this target?

The black and orange contrast finish is designed to make bullet impacts easy to spot. The included crosshair and diamond reference markings also help you track your shot groups and aim point consistently.
