Description

SNIPER

This is a solid 3/8″ AR500 silhouette with a tactical “eyes/nose” head shot triangle for the master marksman.  Ideal for rifle beyond 100 yards, or to test your limits with pistol at 10 yards and out.  Able to withstand thousands of pistol and rifle rounds.*

*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)

ACCESSORIZE

THE 2 GONG RACK

Your MR TARGET armored target base includes a dual bracket for mounting your SNIPER target and one of our MR TARGET accessories, such as THE 2 GONG RACK (shown here with 4",5", and 8" gongs). Just select “I already have a base” from the drop-down options and choose your gong sizes.

SPINNER TARGETS

Our Spinner Target accessories are available in multiple configurations so you can design the target system that best fits your needs.

.22 RIMFIRE PADDLES

Convert your SNIPER target into a .22 rimfire target with our .22 RIMFIRE PADDLES. Our paddles are plug-and-play and remove easily with no nuts or bolts, enabling you to swap calibers in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the SNIPER Armored Steel Reactive Shooting Target suitable for long-range shooting?

The SNIPER Armored Steel Reactive Shooting Target is crafted from 3/8" AR500 steel, making it durable enough to withstand high-velocity rifle rounds. This robustness is essential for long-range shooting, where bullet impact is more forceful. The target's silhouette design, with a tactical headshot triangle, provides a challenging aim point for marksmen. For rifle calibers of 5.56 and up, it is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 100 yards to ensure both safety and the longevity of the target.

How does the modular base system enhance the usability of the SNIPER target?

The modular base system of the SNIPER target offers significant advantages in terms of portability and ease of setup. With uprights that can be easily removed from the H-base, the target can be laid flat for transport and reassembled quickly without tools. This design allows for convenient storage and transport, making it ideal for shooters who frequently change shooting locations or need to store the target compactly.

What safety considerations should be taken when using the SNIPER target with different calibers?

When using the SNIPER target, safety considerations vary depending on the caliber of the firearm. For rifle calibers 5.56 and above, a minimum shooting distance of 100 yards is recommended to prevent ricochet and to preserve the target's integrity. For pistol use, the target can be engaged at closer distances, such as 10 yards, but always ensure the shooting area is clear of obstructions and bystanders. Proper eye and ear protection is also essential to safeguard against debris and noise.

Can the SNIPER target be used for both pistol and rifle training?

Yes, the SNIPER target is designed for versatility, accommodating both pistol and rifle training. Its AR500 steel construction allows it to withstand thousands of rounds from both types of firearms. This makes it an excellent choice for mixed-use ranges and training scenarios where shooters may switch between pistols and rifles. However, always adhere to the recommended shooting distances to ensure safety and maintain the target's condition.

What are the benefits of using an armored base with the SNIPER target?

The armored base provides enhanced durability and stability for the SNIPER target, especially during high-volume shooting sessions. These bases are designed to withstand repeated impacts, protecting the structural integrity of the target setup. An armored base also elevates the target to a natural shooting height, which is beneficial for training muscle memory in tactical scenarios. For more on selecting the right target setup, explore our Armored Steel Targets collection.

How can the SNIPER target be customized for different shooting scenarios?

The SNIPER target can be customized with various accessories to suit different shooting scenarios. Options such as the 2 Gong Rack and Spinner Targets allow shooters to create a dynamic training environment. These accessories can be easily mounted using the dual bracket system included with the target base, enabling quick changes between different setups. This flexibility makes the SNIPER target a versatile choice for both individual practice and competitive shooting events.

What maintenance is required to ensure the longevity of the SNIPER target?

Regular maintenance of the SNIPER target is minimal but important to ensure its longevity. After each use, inspect the target for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Clean the surface to remove lead and powder residue, which can accumulate over time. If the target is exposed to the elements, consider applying a protective coating to prevent rust. Proper storage, such as keeping it dry and covered, will also help maintain its condition.

How does the SNIPER target enhance training for tactical shooting?

The SNIPER target enhances tactical shooting training by providing a realistic and challenging target design. The tactical “eyes/nose” head shot triangle encourages precision aiming, which is crucial for tactical scenarios. The target's reactive nature provides immediate feedback, helping shooters adjust and improve their accuracy and speed. This makes it an invaluable tool for law enforcement and military training, as well as for civilian shooters looking to hone their skills.

What are the advantages of using AR500 steel for shooting targets?

AR500 steel is renowned for its durability and resistance to wear, making it an ideal material for shooting targets. Its high Brinell hardness allows it to withstand repeated impacts from high-velocity rounds without deforming. This ensures that the target maintains its shape and functionality over thousands of shots, providing a reliable and long-lasting training tool.

How does the SNIPER target facilitate skill development for competitive shooters?

The SNIPER target is an excellent tool for competitive shooters looking to enhance their skills. Its reactive design provides instant feedback on shot placement, allowing shooters to make real-time adjustments. The headshot triangle adds an extra level of difficulty, encouraging precision and focus. This target's durability and versatility make it suitable for various competitive shooting disciplines, helping shooters prepare for a range of scenarios they may encounter in competitions.
