There's something about a steel silhouette that keeps you coming back to the range. Every hit gives you an instant clang and a little movement, so you know right away where your shot landed without walking downrange to check paper. This Birchwood Casey raccoon target takes that feedback and wraps it in a fun critter shape that's a nice change of pace from round gongs and standard IDPA cutouts.
The target is cut from 3/8-inch AR500 steel, the hardened, abrasion-resistant stuff that's built to soak up thousands of rounds without cratering or deforming. It's rated to handle up to 3,000 foot-pounds of bullet energy, which covers the vast majority of common centerfire pistol and rifle loads. The edges are laser cut for a clean, burr-free perimeter, and the whole thing wears a bright white powder coat that pops against dirt, brush, and tree lines so you can pick it up fast even at distance.
This is a one-hole silhouette, so you've got a few ways to hang it depending on your setup. Chains, rubber straps, or a dedicated bracket all work well, and the general rule of thumb with any AR500 plate is to hang it with a slight downward angle, around 20 degrees, so spent fragments deflect toward the ground instead of back at you. Letting it swing a little rather than bolting it down tight also helps the steel last longer and ring louder. For safe distances, keep handguns at a minimum of 25 yards and centerfire rifles back at 100 yards or more, and skip any steel-core or armor-piercing ammo.
Half the appeal here is variety. Grab a few different shapes from the lineup and you can build out a little critter gallery that keeps range days interesting for the whole crew. The raccoon is a great size for pistol drills and .22 up through your everyday rifle calibers, and once it's hung it'll take a beating for years. A quick coat of spray paint every so often brings the white face right back for easy shot spotting.
The 3/8-inch AR500 steel is rated for up to 3,000 foot-pounds of bullet energy, which covers most common centerfire pistol and rifle loads along with rimfire. That includes everything from .22 LR up through calibers like 9mm, .45 ACP, .223/5.56, and .308. Just avoid steel-core, armor-piercing, and magnum rifle rounds pushing past that energy rating, since those can pit or damage the face.
This is a one-hole silhouette, so you can hang it with chains, rubber straps, or a dedicated AR500 bracket. The key is to mount it with a slight downward angle, around 20 degrees, so bullet fragments deflect down into the ground instead of bouncing back toward you. Letting it swing freely rather than bolting it tight also makes it ring louder and helps the steel last longer.
For centerfire handguns, keep it at a minimum of 25 yards. For centerfire rifles, back it out to at least 100 yards. Those minimums give the bullet energy room to dissipate and keep fragmentation heading safely toward the ground.
No, this listing is for the steel raccoon silhouette plate on its own. You'll need to supply your own hanging hardware, whether that's chains, straps, carriage bolts, or a T-post style bracket. Grabbing a proper hanger kit is worth it for a quick, safe setup at the range.
