Description

PEEKABOO HOSTAGE

This target has a standard 2/3 scale IPSC hostage plate, with an angled 2/3 scale IPSC “bad guy” plate mounted in the accessory slot.  Each target makes a slightly different sound, so you know which one you’ve hit.  Both targets are made from 3/8″ AR500 armored steel and can withstand thousands of rifle and pistol rounds*.

Best part?  Both targets are reversible! Always have a fresh cleanly painted side available.  Even better… your angled IPSC plate can also be mounted in the standard vertical position – buy an extra base and you now have two separate IPSC targets!

*For rifle calibers 5.56 and up, MR TARGET recommends a minimum 100y distance for safety and longevity of your target

SELECT A BASE

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).

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.

TALL ARMORED BASE (RECOMMENDED)

Standing at 40” tall, this target base will raise your target to a more natural shooting position to promote muscle memory for close quarters training. This base has an armored center post to withstand thousands of rifle and handgun rounds.

FULLY ARMORED RANGE BASE

This target base is armored from top to bottom. Great protection for long range rifle, commercial ranges, rental targets, and FULL AUTO. No stray bullets will be punching holes in this base. 30″ tall.

ARMORED BASE

This base has a low-profile armored center post that withstands every kind of abuse and will work with any of our reactive or plate targets. 30” tall.

2X4 WOOD BASE KIT

For shooters with a tight budget, we offer our 2×4 base and bracket kits. Steel base and top bracket protected by an AR500 armored circle plate. Choose Top Bracket only or Top Bracket & H Base combo. (2X4 NOT included)

 

Shipping Details: Due to the size and weight of steel targets, all Mr. Target products are shipped via UPS Ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the PEEKABOO Hostage AR500 Steel Target unique for training?

The PEEKABOO Hostage AR500 Steel Target is unique due to its dual-target design, featuring a 2/3 scale IPSC hostage plate and an angled 'bad guy' plate. This setup allows for dynamic training scenarios where shooters can practice precision and decision-making. Each target produces a distinct sound upon impact, providing immediate auditory feedback. This feature is particularly beneficial for training in high-stress environments where quick assessment and reaction are crucial.

How does the target's reversibility enhance its usability?

The reversibility of the PEEKABOO Hostage AR500 Steel Target allows users to extend the life of the target by simply flipping it to a fresh side. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining a clean shooting surface, which is essential for accurate training and evaluation. By having a reversible target, shooters can ensure consistent performance without the need for frequent repainting or replacement.

What are the recommended safety distances for using this target with different calibers?

For safety and longevity, the PEEKABOO Hostage AR500 Steel Target should be used at a minimum distance of 100 yards when shooting rifle calibers of 5.56 and above. This distance helps prevent damage to the target and ensures the safety of the shooter by minimizing the risk of ricochets. For pistol calibers, closer distances can be safely used, but always ensure proper eye and ear protection.

How does the modular base system benefit users?

The modular base system of the PEEKABOO Hostage AR500 Steel Target allows for easy transportation and setup. The uprights can be quickly removed from the base, making it compact for storage and transport. This system is ideal for users who need to frequently move their targets between different shooting locations. Additionally, the ability to secure the base with concrete or directly into the ground provides stability for more permanent setups.

What are the advantages of using AR500 steel for targets?

AR500 steel is prized for its durability and ability to withstand thousands of rounds from both rifles and pistols. This makes it an excellent choice for shooting targets, as it resists pitting and deformation. The steel's hardness ensures that it can handle repeated impacts without significant wear, providing a long-lasting training solution for shooters. For more on choosing the right target materials, visit our Armored Steel Targets collection.

Can the PEEKABOO target be used for both handgun and rifle training?

Yes, the PEEKABOO Hostage AR500 Steel Target is designed for use with both handguns and rifles. Its robust construction from 3/8” AR500 steel ensures it can handle the impact of various calibers. However, users should adhere to recommended shooting distances to maintain the target's integrity and ensure safety. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for shooters looking to practice with multiple firearm types.

What are the options for mounting the angled IPSC plate?

The angled IPSC plate on the PEEKABOO Hostage target can be mounted in both angled and vertical positions. This flexibility allows shooters to simulate different scenarios and angles of engagement. By purchasing an additional base, users can set up two separate targets, enhancing the training experience. This adaptability is particularly useful for tactical training where varied target presentations are beneficial.

How does the target's sound feedback improve shooting skills?

The distinct sound feedback from the PEEKABOO Hostage target helps shooters immediately identify successful hits. This auditory confirmation is crucial in training environments where visual confirmation might be delayed. It allows shooters to adjust their aim quickly and maintain focus on their technique. This feature is especially beneficial in competitive shooting and tactical training scenarios.

What are the benefits of using a tall armored base for this target?

The tall armored base elevates the PEEKABOO Hostage target to a natural shooting height, promoting better muscle memory. This setup is particularly advantageous for close-quarters training, where realistic target height is crucial. The armored center post ensures that the base can withstand repeated impacts, making it a durable choice for both personal and professional training environments. For more on selecting the right training setup, explore our Security Training Targets collection.

Is the PEEKABOO Hostage target suitable for commercial ranges?

Yes, the PEEKABOO Hostage target is well-suited for commercial ranges due to its durability and versatility. The fully armored range base provides comprehensive protection from stray bullets, making it ideal for high-traffic environments. Its ability to withstand full-auto fire and long-range rifle rounds ensures that it can handle the demands of a commercial setting, offering a reliable option for range operators.
