COMMON QUESTIONS
What calibers can I shoot?
Our 3/8" AR500 targets are rated for handgun calibers and rifle rounds up to .308.
Minimum safe distances: 100+ yards for rifles and 50+ yards for pistols. Closer than that, impact energy can damage even properly rated steel.
Is there any ammo I can't use?
Standard lead-core ammunition only. Do not shoot steel-core, armor-piercing or green-tip (M855) rounds — they crater and can penetrate AR500. Damage from those rounds, from calibers above the target's rating, or from shooting closer than the minimum distance is not covered by the warranty.
When will my order ship?
Every order is handmade to order in Mesa, Arizona and ships in 5–8 business days. You'll get tracking by email as soon as it leaves the shop.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes — our Limited Lifetime Warranty covers weld failures and material defects under normal use with the right calibers at safe distances.
