Allen EZ-Aim Hardrock Steel Target

This target is constructed from 0.375-inch AR500 steel, making it suitable for most standard handgun and rifle calibers. However, always check your specific ammunition manufacturer's recommendations regarding minimum shooting distances to prevent ricochet and ensure target longevity.

The white finish is designed to provide high contrast for immediate shot visibility, but it will chip and wear away with use. Most shooters prefer to keep a can of white spray paint on hand to quickly touch up the surface between sessions for continued visual feedback.

The target features three connection points, allowing you to hang it using chains, heavy-duty straps, or direct hooks. For the best audible 'gong' feedback and to ensure the target swings freely to dissipate energy, we recommend a hanging setup that allows the plate to move slightly upon impact.

While the AR500 steel is durable, we strongly advise against shooting steel targets at extremely close ranges. Always maintain a safe distance—typically at least 10 yards for handguns and 100 yards for rifles—to avoid potential fragmentation and ricochet hazards.

Yes, the AR500 construction is built to withstand outdoor elements. While the steel is resistant to weather, the powder-coat finish may eventually show signs of wear or surface rust if left exposed to harsh, wet conditions for extended periods without maintenance.
