I bought a t post at lowes for $6 and it works great. the small reactive center mass target and head target are orange, as is the target holder that fits on the t post. the hostage target is white. smooth and professional. of course, you'll have to repaint after a session of plinking, but spray paint does the trick. the whole setup is well made and I am absolutely thrilled! I have 3 other steel targets I've been using for a couple of years. they have held up nicely and this is as good of quality if not better. i don't think you'll find a better deal or better made hostage target with a center mass reactive target at a better price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Hostage Target *by P***A on March 19, 2019* The target is great; I will buy a couple more. It is not as large as I expected; that is on me I guess; it is heavy probably sized as the biggest and heaviest thing they can send in the US Mail? Our post office person could not lift it; don't tell anyone, eh? The circle hole for the center gong is only 5 inches; the swinging head gong is 6 inches but some of that as you can see is covered by the hostage; I cannot say who we named the hostage after. We put it up at 200 yards and shoot at it from the bench with .243, 6mm, 25-06, and AR 15s; so far just burned the paint off. I need to find a heavier duty "T" post. The "T" post from Rural King are wimpy and this target is heavy but it works great. I am going to buy another one for 350 yards and may get one for 77 meters, too. I would not recommend this for a pistol target because for me to hit the 5" gong with a handgun I would have to be too close to the steel for safety. We do shoot at free swinging steel as close as 50 yards but the hostage don't swing; it is if properly mounted on an angle that will deflect the bullet splatter downward; I would not recommend shooting at any steel closer than 100 yards. On my private range if the shooter hits the "T" post that is a $5 fine, eh? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gran producto *by M***S on March 19, 2019* No incluye la base ## Frequently Bought Together - Magnum Target AR500 Steel Hostage Reactive IDPA 2/3 Shooting Target 3/8in 12X20 for T-Post New - Highwild Adjustable Target Stand Base for Paper Shooting Cardboard Silhouette H Shape Stand Base for Shooting Range 1x2 Wooden Target Station Setup - 2 Pack - Highwild AR500 Dueling Tree Target Kit - 6" x 3/8" Steel Paddle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/92443638-magnum-target-ar500-steel-hostage-reactive-idpa-2-3-shooting](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/92443638-magnum-target-ar500-steel-hostage-reactive-idpa-2-3-shooting) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
