The Caldwell 10" Coffin AR500 Steel Target is a serious choice for shooters who want durable reactive feedback without the cost and cleanup of paper or clay. Built from 3/8" hardened AR500 steel, this coffin-shaped steel target handles high-volume practice and competition training. It's rated to safely absorb impacts up to 3000 fps and 3500 ft-lbs of energy, making it reliable for centerfire rifle rounds from distance shooting to closer work. The bright powder-coat finish makes bullet hits easy to spot downrange, so you can track your shots and adjust without constantly walking up to check.
Steel targets cut setup time and reduce range cleanup—no paper scraps, no clay dust. The Caldwell coffin design gives you a compact 10-inch profile (13 L x 8 W x 0.4 D, 9.25 lbs) that works well on most target stands and frames. Unlike flimsy or thin steel targets prone to pitting and damage, the through-hardened AR500 construction is engineered to take punishment for hundreds or thousands of rounds. That durability means you're investing in a target that'll last through seasons of training, not something that degrades after a few range days.
Whether you're running drills at a club match, setting up a home range, or dialing in a new rifle, this target delivers consistent visual feedback and honest value. The coffin silhouette works for precision practice, speed drills, and recreational plinking alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers can I shoot at this steel target?
The Caldwell coffin target is rated for impact velocities up to 3000 fps and 3500 ft-lbs of energy. Check your ammunition's velocity and energy to confirm compatibility, but it handles standard centerfire rifle rounds within those limits. Always wear appropriate hearing protection and safety glasses when shooting steel.
How do I mount or hang this target?
Caldwell AR500 targets are available with multiple hanging solutions across their product line. Check the target stand or frame you plan to use to verify compatibility with the 13" length and 8" width of the coffin design. Most commercial target stands and frames will accommodate this size.
How long will this target last before it needs replacement?
The 3/8" hardened AR500 steel is built to withstand thousands of rounds. With proper care and use within the rated velocity and energy limits, this target will outlast most shooters' ammunition budgets. Eventually, surface pitting and wear will accumulate, but AR500 longevity is far superior to standard steel or reactive targets.
Will this target ricochet bullets back at me?
Steel targets require safe setup and shooter positioning. Always place the target downrange with a proper backstop, maintain safe distance, and wear protective equipment. Follow all manufacturer guidelines and safe shooting practices to minimize ricochet risk. If you're unsure about target placement, consult a shooting range professional.
