The ShootSteel.com AR550 12" Colt Speed Plate was designed to work with rifles 308 and smaller at 100 yards. When hit the target flips back and is automatically reset by a spring. They were not designed to be shot with handguns as the base can direct bullet splash back at the shooter. If using with handguns they must be used at a minimum of 25 yards. The target is 12" tall with a 6" circle, and the base is a full 23.75" long and includes holes to fasten the legs onto the target system which will raise the target off the ground a full 6". These holes also work perfectly to stake the base to the ground if you do not choose to use the legs. The base is constructed of hardened steel much like the target. During our testing of the competition we found that some used mild steel bases. The bullets splash will quickly cut through these cheaper target bases, so do not confuse these with some of the cheaper reactive
shooting targets you might find as these are built to last.
Rifles over 3000 fps muzzle velocity should be used at 200 yards or greater to prevent damage to the target.
The target, base, and legs are all powder coated black for increased weather resistance.
Don't forget the legs. They are not required but make using the target much easier.
