Nothing beats the instant feedback of a steel target, and the Birchwood Casey AR500 Boar Silhouette gives you that satisfying ring shot after shot. This 21-inch boar shape is cut from 3/8-inch AR500 steel, the same hardened plate serious range folks trust to shrug off centerfire rifle impacts and keep coming back for more. It's built to handle up to 3,000 ft-lbs of bullet energy, so your .223, 5.56, .308, and similar rounds are right at home when you're set up at the proper distance.
AR500 steel sits at a Brinell hardness of roughly 460 to 540, which is what lets the plate deflect projectiles rather than soaking them up and getting chewed apart. Birchwood Casey uses laser cutting to keep the edges clean and burr-free while preserving that hardness across the whole silhouette. The result is a target that keeps its shape and stays true through high-volume range days instead of denting and cratering on you.
The three-hole layout gives you real flexibility on how you hang it, whether you're clipping it to a stand, chain, or a fixed frame. The bright white powder coat does more than look sharp. It throws up a high-contrast surface so you can actually see where your rounds are landing without hiking downrange every few shots. Angling the plate slightly downward is smart practice too, since it helps direct fragments toward the ground.
This boar profile is a favorite for hog hunters wanting realistic practice, but it's just as good for general marksmanship, sight-in work, and training drills. Pair it with the right distance, keep to lead or standard jacketed ammo, and this thing will outlast a mountain of paper targets. Made in the USA and backed by a name that's been in the target game for over 75 years.
This 3/8-inch AR500 plate is rated for centerfire rifle rounds up to 3,000 ft-lbs, which covers popular cartridges like .223, 5.56, and .308 at the proper distance. Keep to lead or standard jacketed ammunition and skip steel core, green tip, or armor piercing rounds, since penetrators can punch through or damage the plate. Staying under about 3,000 fps also helps prevent pitting over time.
For centerfire rifles, 100 yards is the generally accepted minimum distance for AR500 steel. Handgun calibers can typically be run closer, often around 10 to 15 yards depending on the load, though this boar target is really built with rifle work in mind. Angling the plate slightly downward and wearing eye protection are always good habits when shooting steel.
The target features a three-hole layout that gives you several mounting choices. You can attach it to a stand, hang it from chain, or bolt it to a fixed frame depending on your setup. A slight downward tilt is recommended to help send fragments toward the ground.
The bright white powder coat is there for visibility, and it will show marks and scuffing where your rounds land, which is part of what helps you track your hits. The underlying AR500 steel is what handles the impacts and stays intact. Many folks give it a fresh coat of spray paint down the road to reset the surface for spotting hits.
