Description

Part of Caldwell's Game Series, the AR500 Coyote target brings a little more personality to your steel setup than the usual round gong. It swaps the plain circle for a full coyote silhouette, which makes for a fun change of pace whether you're prepping for predator season or just burning through some rounds on a weekend range day. The bright yellow powder coat finish stands out against just about any backdrop, so picking it up in your optic is quick even out at distance.

What matters most on a steel target is the steel itself, and this one uses 3/8" AR500, one of the most trusted rifle-rated target materials out there. It's built to shrug off thousands of centerfire rounds without cratering or deforming when you're shooting it at the right distances. That kind of durability is the whole point of buying steel in the first place, and Caldwell backs these targets with a lifetime guarantee.

Setting Up the AR500 Coyote Target

The coyote has a 1/2" x 1" center slot machined into it that's designed to pair with the Caldwell AR500 Target Post. Drop it in place and you've got a stable, ready-to-shoot setup in a matter of minutes with no welding, no bolts, and no fuss. Note that the post is sold separately, so grab one if you don't already have a hanging solution.

Running the Coyote at the Range

This target is rated up to 3,000 fps impact velocity and 3,500 ft-lbs of impact energy, which covers a huge range of common centerfire rifle loads. Keep your rifle work at 100 yards or more, angle the target slightly toward the ground so fragments deflect down, and always wear wraparound eye protection. Do that and you'll get years of satisfying pings out of this thing. It's a solid pick for hunters dialing in shot placement, competitive shooters wanting variety, or anyone who just likes reactive steel that gives instant feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers can I shoot at the AR500 Coyote target?

This target is rated up to 3,000 fps impact velocity and 3,500 ft-lbs of impact energy, which covers a wide range of common centerfire rifle rounds. Avoid armor-piercing, steel core, or solid copper bullets, since hardened projectiles can damage even AR500 steel. Match your ammo and distance to the target's rating and you'll get long life out of it.

How far back should I stand when shooting the AR500 Coyote?

For centerfire rifle, 100 yards is the standard minimum distance, and high-velocity rounds like .223 and 5.56 may call for even more depending on your load. Angle the target slightly toward the ground so fragments deflect downward, and always wear wraparound eye protection. The farther back you are, the less energy any fragment carries.

Does the Caldwell AR500 Coyote target come with a stand?

No, the target ships on its own. It has a 1/2" x 1" center slot designed to drop onto the Caldwell AR500 Target Post, which is sold separately. If you already have a compatible post or hanging setup, you're good to go straight out of the box.

How long will the AR500 Coyote steel target last?

Used correctly at proper distances with appropriate ammunition, 3/8" AR500 steel can withstand thousands of rounds without significant wear. Shooting from too close or with hardened projectiles is what causes pitting and cratering, so following the distance and ammo guidelines is key. Caldwell also backs these targets with a lifetime guarantee.
