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.

The modularity also allows users to customize their setup by adding accessories like spinners and gongs, enhancing the shooting experience.

Can the Armored Base withstand high-caliber rounds?

Yes, the Armored Base is constructed with AR500 steel, known for its durability and ability to withstand high-caliber rounds. The AR500 armored center post is specifically designed to deflect thousands of pistol and rifle rounds, ensuring longevity and reliability in various shooting conditions. This makes it suitable for both personal use and commercial shooting ranges.

However, users should note that while the base is highly durable, consistent use with extremely high-caliber or armor-piercing rounds may eventually lead to wear over time. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prolong the lifespan of the base, ensuring it remains a dependable part of your shooting setup.

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

The Armored Base is compatible with a variety of targets, including 1/2″ thick AR500 targets, rubber dummy targets, and paper bracket targets. It includes a 1/2″ bracket slot in the front for thick targets and a 3/8″ rear slot for standard accessories like spinners and gongs. This versatility allows shooters to customize their training setup according to their specific needs and preferences.

This adaptability is particularly useful for training scenarios that require different types of feedback, such as visual or auditory cues from reactive targets. The ability to switch between target types without changing the base setup enhances the efficiency of training sessions, whether for personal improvement or professional training.

How does the low-profile design of the base improve shooting stability?

The low-profile design of the Armored Base contributes to a more stable shooting platform by maintaining a solid center of gravity. This design reduces the likelihood of the base tipping over when used with heavier or taller targets. The stability is particularly beneficial during dynamic shooting exercises where movement and recoil could otherwise destabilize the setup.

By keeping the center of gravity low, the base ensures that targets remain upright and aligned, providing consistent feedback and reducing the need for frequent adjustments. This feature is crucial for maintaining focus during training sessions and improving overall shooting accuracy.

Is the Armored Base suitable for permanent installations?

Yes, the Armored Base can be used for permanent installations by removing the H-style base and securing the upright directly into the ground or with concrete. This option is ideal for users who want a fixed shooting setup, such as at a private range or a training facility. The robust construction of the base ensures it can withstand long-term exposure to the elements and repeated use.

However, users should consider the environmental conditions of the installation site, as extreme weather or soil conditions may affect the stability of the installation. Regular maintenance and checks can help ensure that the base remains secure and functional over time.

What are the dimensions and weight of the Armored Base?

The Armored Base stands 30 inches tall and weighs 28 pounds. Its compact size and manageable weight make it easy to transport and set up, while still providing a sturdy platform for a variety of target types. The dimensions are designed to offer a balance between portability and stability, making it suitable for both temporary and permanent shooting setups.

The base's weight is sufficient to prevent it from being easily knocked over by wind or recoil, yet light enough to be moved by a single person if necessary. This balance is ideal for shooters who need to frequently adjust their range setup or transport the base to different locations.

How does the Armored Base accommodate additional shooting accessories?

The Armored Base includes a standard 3/8″ accessory slot, allowing users to attach various shooting accessories such as spinners and gongs. This feature enhances the versatility of the base, enabling shooters to customize their training experience with different types of reactive targets. These accessories can provide immediate visual and auditory feedback, which is valuable for improving shooting accuracy and speed.

The ability to easily add or remove accessories without altering the base setup allows for quick adjustments during training sessions. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for dynamic shooting drills or competitions where different target configurations are required.

What maintenance is required for the Armored Base?

Regular maintenance of the Armored Base involves inspecting it for any signs of wear or damage, especially after extensive use. Given its exposure to high-caliber rounds, it's important to check for any structural integrity issues. Cleaning the base to remove debris and ensuring that all parts are securely fastened are also recommended practices to prolong its lifespan.

For permanent installations, periodic checks to ensure the base remains securely anchored are advised. Addressing any rust or corrosion promptly can help maintain the base's durability and performance, ensuring it remains a reliable component of your shooting setup.

Are there any specific safety considerations when using the Armored Base?

Safety considerations when using the Armored Base include ensuring that the base is set up on stable ground to prevent tipping. Users should also ensure that targets and accessories are securely attached to avoid any dislodging during shooting. It's important to follow all standard shooting safety protocols, including maintaining a safe distance from the targets and using appropriate eye and ear protection.

Additionally, users should be aware of their surroundings to ensure that no one is in the line of fire. Regularly inspecting the base and targets for damage can help prevent accidents and ensure a safe shooting environment.
