Description

ARMORED BASE with 1/2″ BRACKET

Our 1/2″ bracketed bases are specifically designed for our 1/2″ thick AR500 targets, and include a standard 3/8″ accessory slot for our spinners, gongs, and other accessories.

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, 1/2″ bracket slot in front for 1/2″ thick targets, and 3/8″ rear slot for 3/8″ thick standard 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.
