The Caldwell AR500 Deer Target in 3/8" steel is a durable, rifle-rated steel target built for hunters and shooters who want realistic practice with game-animal silhouettes. Cast from premium AR500 steel—one of the toughest target materials available—this yellow deer target handles thousands of rounds of impact without degrading, making it an economical choice for long-term range use. Whether you're dialing in your deer rifle before season or sharpening your marksmanship year-round, a steel game target gives you immediate audible and visual feedback on every shot.
The 3/8" thickness is rated to handle rifle impacts up to 3000 feet per second with energy levels reaching 3500 foot-pounds, covering most common hunting and target cartridges. The steel won't splinter or fragment dangerously like reactive or ceramic targets, and the bright yellow finish makes the target easy to spot downrange. Maintenance is simple—just hose it down and let it weather naturally, or keep it painted for aesthetics.
A 1/2" x 1" center slot runs through the target, engineered to work with Caldwell's AR500 Target Post system, so setup is straightforward whether you're mounting it on your range post or building a portable rig. Built to last a lifetime of shooting, this target represents solid value for anyone serious about practice.
