Caldwell AR500 Rimfire KYL Ring Challenge Target System - Model 4002309

The Caldwell AR500 Rimfire KYL Ring Challenge Target System puts a fresh spin on a proven format for testing marksmanship and friendly competition. Instead of the traditional descending-size paddle design, this rimfire target uses five 3-inch diameter steel rings with increasing center-hole diameters—a setup that forces you to judge distance, wind, and your own limits in a way that standard targets don't. Start at the biggest ring and work your way through; miss and you're back to zero. It's simple, it's competitive, and it reveals what you actually know versus what you think you know.

Built from certified AR500 steel, this target handles the full spectrum of rimfire cartridges—.22 LR, .22 Magnum, .17 HMR, and everything in between—without degradation. The 1/4-inch steel won't chip, dent, or crater under sustained rimfire impact, and the bright yellow powder coat keeps the target visible downrange and protects against rust. The collapsible stand uses half-inch steel tubing with polyurethane joints, breaking down quickly for transport and storage without tools or fuss.

Whether you're drilling precision at 25 yards or pushing distance with a .22 Magnum, the KYL format makes every shot matter. It's ideal for solo practice, head-to-head matches with friends, or casual family range days. The escalating ring diameters mean shooters of all skill levels find a challenging but achievable starting point, and the competitive framework keeps things engaging longer than punching paper.
