The Epicshot Kyl-Target .22lr is a mechanical, non-powered reactive shooting target system engineered specifically for precision rimfire practice. Constructed from laser-cut AR500 steel with a 1/4-inch nominal thickness (approximately 6 mm), it features a graduated series of spinning paddles ranging from 2 inches down to 1/4 inch (approximately 50.8 mm down to 6.35 mm). Designed to be struck by .22 LR rimfire ammunition and lead-pellet air rifles, each plate spins completely around the top crossbar upon impact while emitting a distinct acoustic chime. The freestanding steel A-frame stand uses an interlocking slip-fit design that allows tool-free assembly and knocks down flat for field transport.

Key Features

• Instant Reactive Feedback: Graduated paddles rotate fluidly around the horizontal crossbar when hit, providing immediate visual confirmation and an audible steel gong without requiring downrange target checks.
• Know-Your-Limits Paddle Array: Stepped plate diameters from 2 inches tapering down to 1/4 inch replicate formal match stages, demanding tight shot placement and calculated risk management.
• Laser-Cut AR500 Steel: Fabricated from 1/4-inch (approx. 6 mm) AR500 plate to resist pitting and surface deformation caused by repetitive rimfire strikes.
• Tool-Free Portable Frame: Freestanding steel A-frame stand with integrated spacers and locking clips packs down flat for range transport and rapid field deployment.
• High-Visibility Weather Resistance: Coated in a durable, high-contrast powder-coat finish to enhance target acquisition against varied natural backdrops and resist outdoor exposure.

Who is the Epicshot Kyl-Target .22lr for?

• NRL22 and PRS Rimfire Competitors — Requires navigating sub-MOA target sizes under match constraints, utilising graduated 1/4-inch (approx. 6 mm) AR500 steel paddles tapering from 2 inches down to a 1/4-inch strike face to simulate positional precision stages.
• Rimfire Target Shooters — Provides progressive marksmanship evaluation at engagement ranges from 10–15 yards out to 100 metres, using this Know-Your-Limits rimfire steel target's 2-inch to 1/4-inch reactive paddles to sharpen holdovers without walking downrange.
• Small-Game Hunters — Employs a graduated paddle profile reducing down to 1/4 inch (approx. 6.35 mm) to build field-accurate shot discipline for rabbit and feral pest harvesting with .22 LR rimfire rifles.

Less suitable for: Shooters using high-velocity rimfires like .22 WMR and .17 HMR, or any centerfire rifle and handgun cartridges, as impacts will dent or crack 1/4-inch AR500 steel; these applications require heavier 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch AR500 target systems engaged at a safe distance with lead or frangible ammunition at or beyond 10 to 15 yards.
