The Birchwood Casey AR500 Bison Silhouette gives you a big, satisfying steel target that rings loud and holds up round after round. It's cut from 3/8-inch AR500 steel, the same abrasion-resistant, heat-treated plate serious steel shooters lean on, so it shrugs off repeated impacts without cratering or denting the way softer mild steel does. At roughly 22 inches, the bison profile is a generous chunk of steel that's easy to find in your scope and fun to run drills on from close pistol range out to longer rifle distances.
AR500 earns its keep here. This target is rated to handle up to 3,000 ft-lbs of bullet energy, which covers the vast majority of common centerfire handgun and rifle loads. The edges are precision laser-cut for a clean, burr-free perimeter, and the whole plate wears a bright white powder coat that shows your hits clearly and makes the target pop against brush, dirt, or a berm. It's built by a company that's been making targets since 1948, so the durability isn't marketing fluff.
Three scoring holes give you flexible mounting, whether you're hanging it from chain, bolting it to a stand, or rigging it on a two-by-four frame. That flexibility lets you build a range setup that fits your space. Keep in mind the usual steel-shooting rules of thumb: give handguns a minimum of around 25 yards and rifles at least 100 yards, angle the plate slightly downward to send splatter into the ground, and stick with cup-and-core ammo to keep the surface happy.
Whether you're sighting in a new rifle, running reactive drills, or just enjoying the instant feedback of steel on a range day, this bison silhouette delivers clear hits and years of dependable use. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense piece of gear that earns a permanent spot in your range kit.
This target is rated to handle up to 3,000 ft-lbs of bullet energy, which covers most common centerfire handgun and rifle loads. Stick with standard cup-and-core ammunition to keep the AR500 surface in good shape. Avoid steel-core, armor-piercing, or hardened penetrator rounds, since those can damage the plate and cause unpredictable splatter.
As a general rule for AR500 steel, keep handguns at a minimum of about 25 yards and rifles no closer than 100 yards. Backing off gives the plate time to dissipate energy and keeps splatter heading safely into the ground. Angling the target slightly downward toward a berm is smart practice too.
The three scoring holes give you flexible options. You can hang it from chain or a bracket, bolt it to a dedicated steel stand, or rig it on a wooden frame. Many folks pair it with a two-by-four base or a purpose-built target stand for a quick, portable setup.
The bright white powder coat will gradually show impact marks and wear where rounds land, which is normal for painted steel targets. That said, it makes spotting your hits easy, and you can freshen it up anytime with a coat of high-visibility target paint. The AR500 steel underneath keeps doing its job regardless of surface wear.
