TALL 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.

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.

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.

35lbs, 40″ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Tall Armored Base with 1/2" Bracket suitable for close quarters training?

The Tall Armored Base with 1/2" Bracket is specifically designed to elevate targets to a natural shooting position. Standing at 40 inches tall, it promotes muscle memory crucial for close quarters training by mimicking realistic engagement scenarios. This height adjustment is particularly beneficial for urban training environments where quick target acquisition is essential. The base's robust construction ensures it can withstand repeated use, making it ideal for both novice and experienced shooters aiming to improve their close-range accuracy.

How does the modular design of this base enhance its usability?

The modular design of the Tall Armored Base allows for quick setup and breakdown, enhancing its usability in various shooting environments. It consists of just two pieces that assemble in seconds without the need for tools, making it highly portable and easy to transport. This feature is particularly advantageous for shooters who need to set up and dismantle their training setups frequently, such as in competitive shooting or tactical training scenarios. The base can also be laid flat for convenient storage in a vehicle or gear bag.

Can the Tall Armored Base be used for long-range shooting?

While the Tall Armored Base is primarily designed for close quarters training, it can also be adapted for long-range shooting. Its sturdy construction and ability to withstand thousands of rounds make it suitable for various shooting disciplines. For long-range applications, the base's stability ensures minimal movement, maintaining target alignment over extended distances. However, shooters should consider additional stabilization methods, such as securing the base to the ground, to further enhance accuracy at long ranges.

What types of targets are compatible with the 1/2" bracket on this base?

The 1/2" bracket on the Tall Armored Base is compatible with 1/2" thick AR500 targets, as well as a variety of reactive and plate targets. This versatility allows shooters to customize their training setups with different target types, such as gongs and spinners, using the standard 3/8" accessory slot. This adaptability makes the base suitable for diverse training scenarios, from static target practice to dynamic shooting drills.

How does the armored center post contribute to the base's durability?

The armored center post is a critical component of the Tall Armored Base, providing exceptional durability and protection. Constructed to withstand thousands of rifle and handgun rounds, the post ensures that the base remains intact and functional even under heavy use. This feature is particularly important for training environments where high volumes of fire are expected, as it prevents damage that could compromise the stability and effectiveness of the target setup.

What are the benefits of using the Tall Armored Base for tactical training?

The Tall Armored Base offers several benefits for tactical training, primarily through its height and durability. By elevating targets to a natural shooting position, it enhances muscle memory and target acquisition speed, which are crucial in tactical scenarios. The robust armored design ensures longevity and reliability, allowing for repeated use in high-stress training environments without the risk of equipment failure. This makes it an excellent choice for law enforcement and military training programs.

How can the base be adapted for permanent installations?

For those seeking a permanent installation, the Tall Armored Base can be adapted by removing the H-style base. The upright portion can be driven directly into the ground or set in concrete, providing a stable and enduring setup. This option is ideal for fixed shooting ranges or training facilities where consistent target placement is necessary. However, once installed permanently, the flexibility of quick relocation is reduced, so careful consideration of the installation site is advised.

What are the weight and portability considerations for this target base?

Weighing in at 35 pounds, the Tall Armored Base strikes a balance between stability and portability. Its weight ensures a stable shooting platform, while the modular design allows it to be disassembled and transported with ease. This makes it suitable for both permanent range setups and temporary field exercises. However, users should be prepared for the physical demands of moving and setting up the base, particularly in rugged or uneven terrain.

How does the Tall Armored Base integrate with other shooting accessories?

The Tall Armored Base is designed with a 3/8" accessory slot, allowing for the integration of various shooting accessories. This feature enables shooters to attach spinners, gongs, and other reactive targets, enhancing the training experience. By providing a versatile platform, the base supports a wide range of shooting drills and exercises. For more on how to effectively use shooting targets in your training, you can explore our Training & Targets collection.

Is the Tall Armored Base suitable for all weather conditions?

The Tall Armored Base is constructed to withstand a variety of weather conditions, thanks to its durable materials. The AR500 steel used in the base is resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, in extremely adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow, additional precautions may be necessary to maintain the base's integrity and ensure safe operation. Regular maintenance and inspection are recommended to prolong the life of the base in such environments.
