A Birchwood Casey AR500 3/8" steel target in a 12-inch round format gives you that unmistakable metallic feedback every shooter craves—instant confirmation on every solid hit. Built from NM500 steel, this target is engineered to withstand repeated impacts from centerfire rifles and handguns, making it a workhorse for everything from precision rifle practice to defensive training drills. The bright white powder-coat finish cuts through dust and mirage so you can spot your shots clearly downrange, even in variable light. Whether you're dialing in a new rifle, running transition drills, or just enjoying the satisfaction of steel at the range, this target delivers that dependable clang that tells you the shot broke true.
Setup is straightforward: the target features square mounting holes compatible with standard carriage bolts (you'll source those separately), so you can hang it on a frame, berm, or stand with minimal fuss. The 12-inch round profile offers a realistic, full-size aiming point for centerfire work without eating ammunition at close distance. NM500 steel is specifically chosen for target use because it provides the hardness and durability to handle thousands of rounds without cratering, spalling, or becoming unsafe. This is the same material used in professional-grade ranges, scaled down for the shooter who wants field-proven reliability on a personal setup.
One target ships per order, so if you're building a multi-target range or replacing a worn gong, order accordingly. Pair multiple Birchwood Casey targets at different distances to challenge your accuracy and speed, or use a single target as your primary feedback tool during load development or skill practice. This is honest steel—no tricks, no fragility, just the hard feedback you need to know whether your setup and technique are working.
| Brand | Birchwood Casey |
| Target Type | Steel gong |
| Size | 12 inches (round) |

The Birchwood Casey AR500 3/8" target is rated for centerfire rifles and centerfire handguns. The NM500 steel and 3/8-inch thickness are designed to handle standard rifle and pistol cartridges without degradation.
The target features square mounting holes compatible with carriage bolts. Carriage bolts are not included with the target—you'll need to source them separately based on your frame or stand setup.
Steel targets are designed for outdoor use where bullet splash and ricochet can be safely managed downrange and to the sides. Never fire steel targets indoors or in enclosed spaces.
That depends on your training goals. A single target works for feedback practice, but many shooters set up multiple targets at different distances to build courses or challenge accuracy. Order as many as your range layout and budget allow.
