Description

TACTICAL III

The ultimate 3 stage 3/8” thick AR500 reactive target designed for head, heart, and gut shots that flip open and closed with every shot.  Built to withstand thousands of rifle and pistol 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 TACTICAL III GONG RACK

Your MR TARGET armored target base includes a dual bracket for mounting your TACTICAL III target and one of our MR TARGET accessories, such as THE TACTICAL III GONG RACK. Just select “I already have a base” from the drop down options, and choose your gong sizes.

THE TACTICAL III SPINNER TARGET

Our Spinner Target accessories are available in dual-spinner and tri-spinner configurations so you can design the target system that best fits your needs.

.22 RIMFIRE PADDLES

Convert your TACTICAL III 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.

What are the recommended safety precautions when using the Tactical III target?

When using the Tactical III target, it is crucial to maintain a safe shooting distance, especially with rifle calibers. For calibers like 5.56 and above, a minimum distance of 100 yards is recommended to ensure safety and prolong the target's lifespan.

What types of bases are compatible with the Tactical III target?

The Tactical III target is compatible with several types of bases, each offering different benefits. The modular armored bases are recommended for their ease of use and durability, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly.

Additionally, a budget-friendly 2x4 base kit is available for those seeking a DIY option.

How can the Tactical III target enhance tactical shooting training?

The Tactical III target enhances tactical shooting training by providing a realistic and interactive shooting experience. The reactive nature of the target allows shooters to practice quick target acquisition and precision shooting, as the flipping plates simulate real-life scenarios where targets may move or change position. This feature is particularly beneficial for training in close quarters or dynamic shooting environments.

What are the benefits of using a tall armored base with the Tactical III target?

Using a tall armored base with the Tactical III target elevates the target to a more natural shooting position. This setup is ideal for promoting muscle memory in close quarters training, as it mimics the height of a standing opponent. The armored center post of the base provides additional protection, ensuring the base can withstand repeated impacts from both rifle and handgun rounds.

Can the Tactical III target be used for long-range shooting practice?

Yes, the Tactical III target can be effectively used for long-range shooting practice. The target's AR500 steel construction and reactive components make it suitable for engaging at extended distances. The fully armored range base is particularly beneficial for long-range practice, as it provides comprehensive protection against stray bullets, making it ideal for commercial ranges or rental targets.

What accessories can be added to the Tactical III target setup?

The Tactical III target setup can be customized with various accessories to enhance its functionality. Accessories such as the Tactical III Gong Rack or Spinner Target can be added to provide additional shooting challenges. These accessories are designed to be easily mounted using the dual bracket system included with the target base, allowing shooters to tailor their practice sessions to specific training goals.

How does the Tactical III target support multi-caliber shooting?

The Tactical III target supports multi-caliber shooting through its robust design and optional accessories. The target's AR500 steel construction can handle a wide range of calibers, and the .22 Rimfire Paddles accessory allows for quick conversion to a .22 caliber target. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for shooters who want to practice with different firearms without needing multiple targets.

What considerations should be made for target placement in a shooting range?

When placing the Tactical III target in a shooting range, several factors should be considered for optimal safety and performance. Ensure the target is positioned at a safe distance appropriate for the caliber being used, with a clear line of sight and no obstructions. The area behind the target should be free of people and structures, and the ground should be stable to prevent tipping.
