Description

ARMORED BASE

This base has a low-profile AR500 armored center upright designed to withstand abuse while keeping a lower, more solid center of gravity for your heavier and/or taller targets. The Armored Base also puts our Rubber Dummy and Paper Bracket targets at the correct height.

All of our modular base systems are designed for easy setup and transport.  Just two pieces, (the upright portion and the H-style base) assemble together in seconds, and lay flat when disassembled.  Our modular target bracket has two available slots and is designed to accommodate any of our reactive or plate targets, along with an accessory rack for gongs, spinners, and other accessories.

If you are looking for a more permanent solution, simply remove the “H” base and pound the upright into the ground or pour concrete.

28lbs, 30″ tall, 3/8″ bracket for 3/8″ thick standard targets and accessories

MODULAR BASES

The secret to a good target is an excellent base (yeah, we trademarked that).  We recommend one of our modular armored bases for greatest ease of use, sturdiness, and reliability.  Our uprights pull right out of our H-bases allowing you to lay them flat in your truck, case, or bag and put them back together in seconds without tools.

Want a more permanent option? Pound the upright right into the ground or lay it in with some concrete.  The AR500 plating will protect your armored target base, deflecting thousands of pistol and rifle rounds (seriously, you’ll be handing this thing down to your grandkids).

Want to shave off weight and save time?  Check out our Quick Deploy Base System specific to our QD compatible targets.  Two AR500 QD plates with integrated carrying handles and the ability to accommodate 1″ pipe extension legs to raise this target as high as you need. The pyramid-style base is designed to become more stable the taller you get.

And finally, while we always recommend splurging that little extra for one of our virtually indestructible armored bases, we do offer a “budget friendly” 2×4 base kit for the DIY backyard shooter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Armored Base from Mr. Target suitable for heavy and tall targets?

The Armored Base features a low-profile AR500 armored center upright that provides a solid center of gravity. This design is particularly effective for supporting heavier and taller targets by minimizing movement and maintaining stability. The AR500 plating ensures durability against repeated impacts from both rifle and handgun rounds, making it a long-lasting choice for serious shooters. Its modular design also allows for easy setup and transport, which is ideal for both permanent and temporary shooting setups.

How does the modular design of the Armored Base enhance its usability?

The modular design of the Armored Base allows for quick assembly and disassembly without tools. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who need to transport and set up targets in various locations. The base consists of just two pieces—the upright portion and the H-style base—that can be assembled in seconds. When disassembled, the components lay flat, making them easy to store and transport in a vehicle or bag. This flexibility makes the Armored Base a practical choice for both casual and competitive shooters.

Can the Armored Base be used for permanent installations?

Yes, the Armored Base can be adapted for permanent installations by removing the H-style base. Users can either pound the upright directly into the ground or secure it with concrete for a more permanent setup. This adaptability makes it suitable for both temporary range setups and long-term installations at a fixed location. For those looking to create a dedicated shooting range, this feature offers a robust and reliable foundation that can withstand extensive use.

What types of targets can be used with the Armored Base?

The Armored Base is designed to accommodate a variety of targets, including reactive and plate targets. It features two slots in the modular target bracket that can hold different target types, such as gongs, spinners, and other accessories. This versatility allows shooters to customize their training setup according to their needs, whether for precision shooting or tactical training. The base's robust construction ensures that it can handle the demands of different target weights and sizes.

How does the AR500 plating contribute to the durability of the Armored Base?

The AR500 plating on the Armored Base provides exceptional durability by deflecting thousands of rounds. This material is known for its resistance to wear and impact, making it ideal for shooting applications where the base will be subjected to repeated gunfire. The plating not only protects the base itself but also ensures that the structure remains stable and intact over time, even under heavy use. This makes the Armored Base a wise investment for those who frequently engage in shooting practice.

What are the benefits of the low-profile design of the Armored Base?

The low-profile design of the Armored Base offers several advantages, particularly in maintaining stability. By keeping a lower center of gravity, the base is less likely to tip over, even when supporting taller targets. This design also reduces the visual profile of the base, which can be beneficial in tactical training scenarios where minimizing visibility is important. Additionally, the low-profile structure makes it easier to transport and store, as it takes up less space.

How does the Armored Base support different shooting scenarios?

The Armored Base is versatile enough to support a wide range of shooting scenarios, from casual practice to tactical training. Its ability to accommodate various target types and sizes makes it suitable for different shooting disciplines. Whether you're practicing precision shooting or engaging in dynamic tactical drills, the base's stability and durability ensure that it can handle the demands of your training. For more insights on how to integrate such equipment into your preparedness plans, consider exploring our Security: Training & Targets collection.

What are the potential limitations of using the Armored Base?

While the Armored Base is robust and versatile, its weight and size may be a consideration for some users. Weighing 28 pounds, it might be cumbersome for individuals who need to frequently move their shooting setup. Additionally, while it can be adapted for permanent installations, doing so requires additional effort such as pounding into the ground or using concrete. Users should also ensure that the targets they use are compatible with the base's slots and brackets to avoid any fitting issues.

How does the Armored Base compare to the Quick Deploy Base System?

The Armored Base and the Quick Deploy Base System both offer unique advantages depending on your needs. The Armored Base is designed for maximum durability and stability, making it ideal for heavy and tall targets. In contrast, the Quick Deploy Base System is designed for rapid setup and portability, featuring integrated carry handles and the ability to accommodate 1" pipe leg extensions for height adjustment. This makes the Quick Deploy option more suitable for users who prioritize ease of transport and setup over the rugged durability of the Armored Base.

Is the Armored Base suitable for commercial shooting ranges?

The Armored Base is well-suited for commercial shooting ranges due to its durability and versatility. Its AR500 plating ensures it can withstand high volumes of shooting, making it a reliable choice for ranges that see frequent use. The modular design allows range operators to quickly change target setups, accommodating a variety of shooting activities and competitions. For those managing a commercial range, the Armored Base provides a long-lasting solution that can enhance the training experience for users.
