Quality Guarantee
PRODUCT WARRANTY
Every target that leaves our shop in Mesa, Arizona is built to last. We warranty our workmanship against manufacturing defects — because we stand behind what we make.
This is a LIMITED WARRANTY. It covers manufacturing, material, and weld defects for as long as the original purchaser owns the product, subject to the exclusions below. This warranty is provided by Topshot Targets AZ, Mesa, Arizona ("Topshot Targets," "we," "us"). It gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

What Is Covered
Manufacturing Defects
Topshot Targets warrants all products against defects in materials and workmanship under normal shooting use, for as long as the original purchaser owns the product. If a product fails due to a defect we caused, we will, at our discretion, repair or replace it, or issue a refund.
Weld Failures
All welds are inspected before shipping. If a weld fails under normal use conditions — meaning the target was used with appropriate calibers at appropriate distances — we will, at our discretion, repair or replace the target at no cost to you. Weld failures caused by overloading with incorrect or overpowered calibers are not covered.
Material Defects
We use certified AR500 hardened steel on all our targets. If a target exhibits premature cracking, delamination, or structural failure not caused by external misuse, that is a material defect covered under this warranty; we will, at our discretion, repair or replace the product. This does not include damage to hanger holes, mounting slots, or edges — see Hanger & Edge Exclusion below, which applies regardless of cause.
Structural Issues Under Normal Use
Any structural failure — including bracket failures, mounting hardware defects, or target geometry issues that make the product unsafe or non-functional — that occurs under rated, normal shooting conditions is covered, except for hanger holes, mounting slots, and edges, which are excluded under the Hanger & Edge Exclusion below regardless of cause. Contact us with photos and we'll get you sorted.
What Is NOT Covered
Misuse & Incorrect Calibers
Damage caused by using ammunition not rated for the specific target — including calibers that exceed the target's rating, steel-core rounds, armor-piercing ammunition, or any caliber explicitly listed as incompatible — voids warranty coverage for the resulting damage. Check the caliber rating on your product listing before shooting.
Shooting Too Close
Engaging steel targets at distances shorter than the minimum safe engagement distance — typically 100 yards for rifles and 50 yards for pistols — creates excessive impact energy that can damage even properly rated steel. Damage resulting from close-range shooting is not covered under warranty and is also a serious safety hazard.
Normal Wear & Tear
Steel targets are consumable products. Surface pitting, paint wear, edge chipping, and cosmetic impact marks from normal use are expected and not defects. These are signs that your target is doing its job. Surface rust from outdoor exposure or lack of maintenance is also considered normal wear and is not covered.
Accidental or Intentional Damage
Damage from drops, improper storage, exposure to extreme conditions, modification, welding by third parties, or any other cause outside of normal shooting use is not covered. Targets that have been modified from their original condition are not eligible for warranty claims.
Hanger & Edge Exclusion
Hanger holes, mounting slots, and edges are excluded from this warranty regardless of cause — including material defects, weld defects, or structural failure — and this exclusion overrides any general coverage described elsewhere on this page. Cutting and welding these areas puts heat into the steel, which softens the surrounding material and leaves it weaker than the face of the plate. A round that lands on a hanger hole, a slot, or the outer edge of a target can crack, tear, or deform the steel even when the correct caliber and distance are used and even absent any manufacturing defect. Aim for the center of the plate — damage to these areas is not covered under this warranty.
Warranty Terms & Legal Disclosures
Duration & Transferability
This limited warranty lasts for as long as the original purchaser owns the product. It is not transferable and does not extend to subsequent owners, or to any product purchased secondhand, at auction, or through an unauthorized reseller.
Remedy
If a warranty claim is approved, Topshot Targets will, at its sole discretion, repair the product, replace it with the same or a comparable model, or refund the purchase price. We may require the defective item be returned before issuing a replacement or refund.
Implied Warranties, Damages & Your State Rights
To the extent permitted by law, any implied warranties — including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose — are limited in duration to the length of this limited warranty. Topshot Targets is not liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from any defect, including property damage or loss of use. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
Governing Law
This warranty is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where superseded by federal law, including the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Safety Notice
Steel targets are used with firearms and carry inherent risks, including ricochet and spall. Always follow the minimum safe engagement distances and safety practices in our FAQ — including eye and ear protection, correct target angle, and keeping bystanders behind the firing line. Use of this product is at your own risk and must comply with all applicable range, local, state, and federal firearms laws. This warranty does not cover, and Topshot Targets is not responsible for, injury or property damage resulting from improper or unsafe use.
