Caldwell 1187590 Swinging AR500 Steel Rifle Target - Black/Yellow, Hanging & Standing, Includes Ground Stakes

The Caldwell Swinging AR500 Steel Rifle Target is a tough, reactive steel target built for shooters who want instant feedback and reliable durability on the range. Built from AR500 steel with a black and yellow finish for high visibility, this target swings on impact—giving you audible and visual confirmation of hits without constant trips downrange. Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, running drills, or putting in practice rounds, a swinging steel target cuts range time waste and keeps the focus on your shooting.

This target system covers multiple setups: it hangs from a rail or frame for stationary range use, and stands independently for portable field practice. The dual-mount design makes it adaptable to your range layout, and the included ground stakes anchor it securely when you're shooting in less controlled environments. AR500 steel handles rifle rounds reliably—it's engineered to take impact after impact without pitting or degrading into unsafe fragments.

If you're building a home range, running a mobile setup, or just tired of walking to check paper targets, a swinging steel target transforms your practice session. The instant feedback loop keeps you sharp and engaged, and the durability means you'll use this target for years. Caldwell's reputation for no-nonsense range gear shows here—simple mechanics, solid steel, and no complicated maintenance.
