The Caldwell AR500 1/4" Rimfire/Handgun Prairie Dog Target is a laser-cut steel shooting target built for rimfire and handgun shooters who want serious durability without the weight penalty of thicker steel. Made from certified AR500 steel, this quarter-inch plate is engineered to handle tens of thousands of rounds from all rimfire and non-magnum handgun calibers while staying light enough to generate satisfying movement and ring on impact—even from lower-powered shots. If you're working up accuracy at the range, zeroing a new pistol, or just enjoying the instant feedback of a ringing steel target, this design delivers both function and fun.
The prairie dog shape adds an element of challenge and variety to your practice sessions, whether you're a beginner honing fundamentals or an experienced marksman refining precision. The high-visibility yellow powder coat makes the target easy to spot downrange across different terrain and lighting, and it resists rust to keep your target looking good through seasons of shooting. A 1/2" bolt mounting option lets you hang it on any Caldwell target hanger system, so setup is straightforward and portable.
Caldwell backs this target with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting confidence in the quality of their AR500 construction. For shooters who shoot rimfire or handgun regularly and want a target that won't crater, pit, or fail after a few hundred rounds, the 1/4" thickness offers the sweet spot between durability and shootability—you'll get feedback without the dead thud of inferior steel.

The Caldwell AR500 1/4" target is rated for all rimfire and non-magnum handgun cartridges. This includes standard rimfire loads (.22 LR, etc.) and handgun rounds like 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and similar non-magnum pistol ammunition.
Yes. The target features a 1/2" bolt hole and is compatible with all Caldwell target hangers, making it easy to set up and move between shooting positions.
Caldwell AR500 steel targets are engineered to handle tens of thousands of rounds. The 1/4" thickness is optimized for rimfire and handgun use and comes with a lifetime warranty reflecting the durability of the AR500 construction.
The lighter 1/4" AR500 plate generates more visible movement and produces a louder, more satisfying ring on impact compared to thicker centerfire-rated steel. This provides better feedback on hits, especially from lower-energy rimfire and handgun rounds, while still delivering the durability needed for extended shooting sessions.
