Mr. Target - Coyote Reactive Predator Hunting Target

The primary purpose of the Mr. Target Coyote Reactive Predator Hunting Target is to simulate a realistic hunting scenario for predator training. This life-size target is designed to help hunters practice their aim and shooting accuracy by providing a reactive 'vitals' area that gives immediate feedback upon a successful hit. This feature is crucial for honing skills in a controlled environment before heading into the field.

The reactive 'vitals' feature of the target enhances shooting practice by providing instant feedback to the shooter. When a bullet strikes the vitals area, the target reacts, indicating a successful hit. This immediate response helps shooters adjust their aim and technique in real-time, improving accuracy and confidence. It's particularly beneficial for hunters who need to make quick and precise shots in the field.

The Mr. Target Coyote Reactive Predator Hunting Target is constructed from 3/8” thick AR500 steel. AR500 steel is known for its durability and ability to withstand high-velocity rifle rounds up to 3,000 fps. This makes it ideal for repeated use in shooting practice, as it resists pitting and deformation, ensuring a long lifespan for the target.

For safety and longevity of the target, it is recommended to maintain a minimum shooting distance of 100 yards when using rifle calibers of 5.56 and up. This distance helps prevent damage to the target and ensures safe shooting conditions. Additionally, shooters should always wear appropriate eye and ear protection and ensure the target is securely mounted to prevent tipping or ricochet.

The Mr. Target Coyote Target is designed to be compatible with various modular bases, providing flexibility in setup. It works best with the 'SHORTIE BASE,' which positions the target closest to the ground, simulating a natural hunting scenario. This modularity allows users to adjust the target height and stability according to their specific training needs.

Due to the size and weight of the steel target, all Mr. Target products are shipped via UPS Ground. Customers should anticipate a lead-time of approximately 2-4 weeks for delivery. It's advisable to check availability and confirm lead-times before placing an order to ensure timely arrival.

The Mr. Target Coyote Target is particularly beneficial for predator hunting training and improving shooting accuracy in realistic scenarios. It is ideal for hunters preparing for coyote or similar predator hunts, as it allows them to practice vital zone targeting. This training is crucial for ensuring ethical and effective hunting practices in the wild.

Compared to other training targets, the Mr. Target Coyote Target offers superior durability due to its AR500 steel construction. This material is resistant to wear and can handle high-velocity impacts without significant damage. While other targets may require frequent replacement or repairs, the AR500 steel ensures longevity, making it a cost-effective option for regular shooting practice.

For optimal use of the Mr. Target Coyote Target, it is recommended to use compatible modular bases and proper mounting hardware. This ensures stability and safety during shooting sessions. Additionally, using a spotting scope or binoculars can help shooters assess their accuracy from a distance. For more on selecting the right optics, explore our Optics, Sights & Lasers collection.
