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 materials are used in the Mr. Target Armored Base?

The modular design of the Armored Base allows for easy setup and transport, making it convenient for users who need to move their targets frequently. With just two main components—the upright portion and the H-style base—assembly can be completed in seconds without tools. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who train in different locations or need to store their equipment compactly. However, users should ensure all parts are securely connected before use to maintain stability during shooting sessions.

However, users should ensure all parts are securely connected before use to maintain stability during shooting sessions.

Can the Armored Base be used for both temporary and permanent setups?

Yes, the Armored Base is versatile enough for both temporary and permanent installations. For a temporary setup, the base can be quickly assembled and disassembled, ideal for users who need flexibility. For a more permanent solution, the upright can be pounded into the ground or set in concrete, offering a stable and enduring target system. This adaptability makes it suitable for a range of training environments, though users should consider the permanence of their location before deciding on a setup.

What types of targets can the Armored Base accommodate?

The Armored Base is designed to accommodate a variety of targets, including reactive and plate targets, as well as accessories like gongs and spinners. This flexibility allows users to customize their training scenarios by easily switching between different target types. The base includes slots for standard targets and accessories, ensuring compatibility with most shooting setups. However, users should verify the compatibility of their specific targets with the base dimensions to ensure a secure fit.

Is the Armored Base suitable for long-range shooting?

The Armored Base is well-suited for long-range shooting due to its robust construction and stability. The low-profile design provides a solid center of gravity, minimizing movement during firing. This stability is crucial for precision in long-range scenarios. However, users should ensure the base is properly secured, especially in windy conditions, to maintain target alignment over greater distances.

What are the dimensions and weight of the Armored Base?

The Armored Base stands 30 inches tall and weighs 28 pounds. These dimensions provide a balance between portability and stability, making it manageable for transport while remaining sturdy during use. The weight is sufficient to keep the base grounded under typical shooting conditions, though users should consider additional anchoring in extremely windy environments.

How does the Armored Base handle different calibers?

The AR500 steel construction of the Armored Base is designed to withstand impacts from a wide range of calibers, including both pistol and rifle rounds. This makes it a versatile option for various training scenarios. However, users should be aware that while the base is highly durable, repeated use with high-caliber rounds may eventually lead to minor surface wear. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prolong the life of the base.

Can the Armored Base be integrated with other training equipment?

Yes, the Armored Base is designed to integrate seamlessly with various training accessories, such as gongs, spinners, and other reactive targets. This capability allows users to create comprehensive training setups that can simulate a wide range of scenarios. The modular nature of the base means it can be easily adapted to different training needs, although users should ensure that all accessories are compatible and securely attached to prevent accidents during use.

What are the benefits of using the Armored Base for tactical training?

The Armored Base offers several benefits for tactical training, including its durability, ease of setup, and adaptability to different target types. These features make it an excellent choice for both individual and group training exercises. The base's ability to withstand high volumes of fire without degrading ensures consistent performance in high-intensity scenarios. However, users should always conduct regular checks on the base and targets to ensure safety and optimal performance.

How does the Armored Base contribute to safety during shooting practice?

The Armored Base enhances safety by providing a stable and reliable platform for target practice, minimizing the risk of targets tipping over. Its robust construction reduces the likelihood of ricochets, a common concern in shooting ranges. Additionally, the low-profile design helps maintain a solid center of gravity, further contributing to a safe shooting environment. Users should still follow all standard safety protocols, including wearing appropriate protective gear and ensuring the shooting area is clear of bystanders.
