Review: Worth it! - Price seems too good to be true. Bought it and was very impressed! Held up to 00 buck at 15 yards. No damage with 556/9mm/6ARC. Can't beat it for the price. Might need a sand bag for the base if you're banging the steel with larger calibers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it!
*by K***N on October 2, 2025*

Price seems too good to be true. Bought it and was very impressed! Held up to 00 buck at 15 yards. No damage with 556/9mm/6ARC. Can't beat it for the price. Might need a sand bag for the base if you're banging the steel with larger calibers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality ptoduct
*by H***D on October 23, 2025*

High quality steel, this is the one you want to buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine. Angle was 11.
*by P***N on December 11, 2023*

The silhouette hangs at a downward angle measured at 11 degrees. Put in a beveled washer to correct to 20. Assuming that matters to you. 20 degrees would be safer when firing upon this target at shorter distances. This AR500 steel had no divots after being hit with FMJ 9mm and 22lr at 25 yards. The orange plate swings back and forth adequately when struck. Some assembly is required. You will need a 4 ft long 2x4, or cut the wood to whatever height you choose. Will also need a drill in order to make 2 holes to mount the steel holder, and a set of wrenches or an adjustable wrench. 3/4 inch sized wrench needed to tighten the nut that fastens the large carriage bolt holding up the plate. Thankfully hardware was provided and nothing was missing. Kit comes with one Allen key. This kit is a bargain at half the price of similar sized AR 500 3/8 inch steel targets+ stands. Also know that these are not rimfire targets, so don't expect rimfire calibers like 22lr to hit with enough force to swing the orange circle gong, as this kit is not made with lighter steel found on rimfire targets.
