Overview
This steel silhouette target is built to add a more realistic option to range practice, especially for shooters who want a simple, repeatable setup with a single mounting point. Its 3/8" construction and AR500 material are intended for repeated use, and the listed 3,000 ft-lbs energy rating gives a clear reference for matching it to appropriate loads. The precision laser-cut profile and burr-free edges support clean handling and straightforward mounting across compatible target systems. With a boar’s head shape, it offers a more engaging aiming point without adding unnecessary complexity.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The single mounting hole keeps setup simple, but it may offer less flexibility than multi-point mounting options on some target systems.
- This is a silhouette-style target, so it adds variety to practice, but it is not intended to replace more traditional bullseye or precision-marking targets.
- The target is rated for up to 3,000 ft-lbs of energy, so users should still verify compatibility with their specific ammunition and range setup before use.
- AR500 steel and a 3/8" profile support repeated impacts, but the target will still show wear over time with regular use.
