There's something about that satisfying "ping" of a solid hit on steel that paper targets just can't match, and the Birchwood Casey AR500 Elk Silhouette delivers it round after round. This is a 21-inch elk-shaped plate cut from 3/8-inch AR500 steel, the hardened stuff built to take repeated centerfire rifle impacts without pitting or deforming. It's rated to handle up to 3,000 ft-lbs of bullet energy, so it can stand up to most common rifle calibers you'd bring to the range for practice or sighting in.
The plate is finished in a bright white powder coat, and that's not just for looks. High-contrast white shows your hits clearly and makes the target easy to pick up downrange, even at distance or in flat light. Every edge is precision laser-cut, so you get a clean, burr-free perimeter that's safer to handle when you're hanging and moving it around. Birchwood Casey has been making targets and shooting gear for over 75 years, and this one is made in the USA.
The three-hole design gives you real flexibility in how you mount it. Run it on a bracket, chain, or bolt setup on a stand of your choice. For the longest target life and safest range day, hang it so it can swing freely and angle it slightly downward so fragments deflect toward the ground. Pair that with proper distance and you're set.
Whether you're a big game hunter dialing in before the season or you just love the instant feedback of steel, the elk profile gives you a realistic, life-sized shape to work vital-zone shot placement. It's a buy-it-once piece of gear that'll be ringing on your range long after cheaper targets have worn out.
It's built for centerfire rifle practice and rated to handle up to 3,000 ft-lbs of bullet energy, which covers most common rifle rounds. Stick with standard lead or copper-jacketed ammunition and avoid steel-core, green-tip, or armor-piercing rounds, since those can pit or damage the plate. Keeping impact velocity in check also helps the target last longer.
For rifles on AR500 steel, 100 yards is the general starting minimum, and you'll want more distance with high-velocity rounds running above 3,000 fps. Distance is your main safety buffer, since it gives fragments room to lose energy before they reach you. Always wear eye protection and check your range's rules before shooting.
The three mounting holes let you attach it with a bracket, bolt, or chain setup on the stand of your choice. Hang it so it can swing freely and angle it slightly downward so bullet fragments deflect toward the ground. A loose, angled mount both improves safety and extends the life of the steel.
The bright white powder coat gives you high-contrast hit visibility, and impacts will naturally mark it up over time as you shoot. When it starts to get busy, a quick coat of white spray paint refreshes it so you can keep spotting hits clearly. The steel itself is what does the heavy lifting and holds up for the long haul.
