What is AR500 Steel?
AR500 is a hardened, abrasion-resistant steel designed to withstand repeated impacts from properly matched pistol and rifle ammunition. The letters "AR" stand for abrasion-resistant, and "500" refers to its approximate Brinell Hardness Number (BHN), a measure of how resistant the steel is to wear and deformation. This exceptional hardness helps steel targets resist cratering, extending their lifespan and providing a safer shooting experience when used according to recommended guidelines.
Are KRATE Tactical steel targets made in the USA?
Yes. Our steel shooting targets are manufactured from premium U.S. made AR500 steel for exceptional durability and dependable performance.
What are reactive steel targets?
Reactive steel targets move, swing, spin, or ring when hit, providing immediate feedback and making every range session more engaging. Examples include gong targets, Texas Star systems, Dueling Trees, and Deck of Cards targets.
What types of range targets do you offer?
KRATE Tactical offers a variety of steel shooting targets and training systems, including:
- Gong Targets: General target practice and long-range shooting
- Silhouette Targets: Defensive training and realistic shot placement
- Texas Star Targets: Advanced speed, accuracy, and target transition drills
- Dueling Tree Targets: Friendly competition and speed shooting
- Deck of Cards Targets: Reactive shooting with a fun twist

When is it best to train with steel shooting targets vs. cardboard shooting targets?
Many shooters use both steel shooting targets and carboard targets together for a more complete training experience.
Steel shooting targets provide instant audible feedback, making them ideal for speed drills, target transitions, and recreational shooting.
Cardboard shooting targets are better for evaluating shot placement, measuring groups, diagnosing trigger or sight errors, and competition-style scoring.
What caliber can I shoot at AR500 steel targets?
Most KRATE Tactical steel targets are compatible with common pistol and rifle calibers when used according to the recommended safety guidelines. Always review the safety recommendations on each product page before shooting.
