Description
Steel just makes plinking better. The Birchwood Casey Spoiler Alert takes the guesswork out of your .22 practice by giving you an unmistakable clang the instant a round lands. No walking downrange to check paper, no squinting for holes. You shoot, you hear it, you keep going. The whole thing stands 14.5 inches tall with a 6-inch round paddle face, which is a comfortable size to hit at plinking ranges but small enough to keep things interesting as you back up.
What Sets the Spoiler Alert Apart
This target is built from AR400 steel, an abrasion-resistant grade that shrugs off rimfire hits and keeps its shape shot after shot. Rimfire rounds carry far less energy than centerfire, so a plate like this will outlast stacks of paper targets and give you years of use with a .22. The orange and yellow finish stands out against dirt, brush, or a backstop, making it easy to line up your sights and spot where you connected. It's made in the USA, which is always nice to see on gear you plan to keep around.
Setting Up Your Spoiler Alert Target
One of the best parts is the standing paddle design. There are no strings, pulleys, or hangers to fuss with, so you can pull it out of your truck, stand it up, and start shooting. That portability makes it a natural fit for a buddy's back forty, a gravel pit, or wherever you like to burn through a brick of .22. When you're done, it packs up just as fast.
This one is rated specifically for .22 rimfire pistols and rifles. Keep your standard .22 LR and .22 Short loads on it and you'll get the loud, satisfying feedback it's known for. As with any steel, stand back a minimum of ten to fifteen yards, keep the face square to your line of fire, and stick to plain lead or copper-plated rounds rather than steel-core ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers can I shoot at the Spoiler Alert target?
The Spoiler Alert is rated for .22 rimfire pistols and rifles, so standard .22 LR and .22 Short loads are right at home. Keep to plain lead or copper-plated rounds and avoid steel-core or armor-piercing ammo. Because it's built for lower-energy rimfire, it isn't meant for centerfire rifle or magnum handgun rounds.
How far back should I stand when shooting the Spoiler Alert?
A minimum of ten to fifteen yards is the general rule for rimfire on steel, and the farther you stand the lower the risk from any fragment. Keep the target face square to your line of fire and don't shoot at an extreme angle. Following those basics keeps things safe and lets the plate ring the way it should.
Does the Spoiler Alert need any assembly or a separate stand?
No. This is a self-standing design with no strings, pulleys, or extra hardware to deal with. You just stand it up and start shooting, then break it down and toss it back in the truck when you're finished.
How long will an AR400 rimfire target like this hold up?
AR400 is an abrasion-resistant steel, and rimfire rounds carry far less energy than centerfire, so a .22 won't chew through it. Used with the right ammo at the right distance, a plate like this will outlast countless paper targets and give you years of plinking. Just keep it off anything hotter than what it's rated for and the face will stay flat and true.
