Steel targets change the way you practice, and the Allen EZ Aim AR500 Prairie Dog is a great little critter to shoot at when you want instant feedback without walking downrange to check paper. Cut from 3/8-inch AR500 steel in a prairie dog silhouette, it stands 12.2 inches tall and 5.25 inches wide, giving you a smaller mark that rewards a steady hold and clean trigger press. Anyone who's shot steel knows the appeal here: you hear the hit, you see the splatter, and you keep running rounds.
AR500 is the same abrasion-resistant steel used on tougher rated plates, which is why this thing shrugs off round after round. It's rated for hunting rifles and handguns at a minimum of 100 yards, so it works well for zeroing a deer rifle, plinking with a pistol, or setting up a fun field-position drill. One thing worth knowing going in: armor piercing and full metal jacket rounds can chew up any AR500 plate, so stick with standard hunting and target ammo to keep the surface in good shape and honor that 100-yard minimum.
That bright white powder-coat finish isn't just for looks. Each hit leaves a visible mark against the white, so you can track your group and see exactly where you're landing without a spotting scope glued to your eye. When it eventually gets pinged up, a quick coat of white primer or enamel brings the contrast right back.
This is a hanging target, so you'll want it strung from a stand, a swing set frame, or a proper steel target hanger with chain or straps. Hanging it lets the plate move and dump energy on impact rather than taking a dead-on hit, which is easier on the steel. It's heavy for its size, feels solid in hand, and the prairie dog shape adds some variety if you're tired of round gongs.
It's rated for standard hunting rifle and handgun ammunition at a minimum of 100 yards. Steer clear of armor piercing and full metal jacket rounds, since those can damage the surface of any AR500 plate. Sticking to regular hunting and target loads keeps the steel in good shape for the long haul.
This is a hanging design, so you'll want it suspended from a target stand, hanger, or something sturdy like a swing set frame using chain or straps. Letting it swing on impact helps the plate absorb energy instead of taking a flat hit. It's on the heavier side for its size, so use a solid mounting point.
It's a great entry into steel. The smaller silhouette gives you a challenging mark, and the instant audible ping plus visible splatter make practice more engaging than paper. Plenty of folks use it with everything from .22 and BB guns up to centerfire rifles.
AR500 steel is built for durability and holds up to a lot of shooting when you use appropriate ammunition and respect the 100-yard minimum. The white powder coat will show wear over time, but the plate itself keeps going. A fresh coat of white paint restores the contrast whenever you want it.
