The Caldwell Ar500 Target Long Range Plate (Model: CALD-ARLRP) is a heavy-duty, reactive steel target engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of long-range rifle shooting. Constructed from premium AR500 hardened steel, this target plate is designed to provide shooters with reliable, repeatable performance during precision training sessions. Unlike traditional paper targets, this steel plate offers immediate auditory and visual feedback upon impact, making it an essential tool for marksmen operating at distances where bullet holes are difficult to see through a spotting scope. Built to handle high-velocity impacts, it serves as a durable solution for developing shooting accuracy, checking bullet drop, and practicing windage adjustments in open outdoor environments across Australia.

Key Features:

• Premium AR500 Steel Construction: Made from highly durable AR500 grade steel, offering superior resistance to pitting, cratering, and deformation from high-velocity projectiles.
• Audible Feedback: Delivers a distinct, high-frequency metallic ring upon impact, allowing shooters to instantly confirm hits at extended ranges beyond 100 meters.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Coated with a protective finish to guard against rust and wear, ensuring longevity when left outdoors on private property or shooting ranges.
• Dual Mounting Points: Features pre-drilled square holes designed to accommodate standard carriage bolts or hanging hooks, preventing the target from spinning excessively when struck.
• Versatile Mounting Options: Easily suspended from target stands, gallows, or chain setups to allow the target to swing, which dissipates kinetic energy and extends the life of the plate.
