12"X20" SILHOUETTE AR500 STEEL TARGET with TARGET STAND

Description

You are purchasing one spiked target stand, and one 12" X 20" silhouette target (2/3 IDPA) constructed of 3/8" AR500 steel. The target has two 5/8" holes for hanging and one 1/2" square hole for use with the included stand/hanger.
The target stand consists of the spiked base and hanger (upper portion). The spike on the base is cut from 3/8" AR500 hardened steel to resist damage when driven into hard ground or rocky soil. The hanger and base are designed to be used with a 2"X4" board, 2"X4" board not included. Both the base and the hanger portion have a set screw to hold the 2"x4" board snug.
When driving the base into the ground, strike the top of the hardened spike.
Drive the base in until only 2"-3" is above the ground.
The heavy duty spiked base is 11" in length and provides a very sturdy anchor when driven into the ground. NOT INTENDED FOR SANDY OR LOOSE SOIL.
The target hanger (upper portion) includes all hardware. The bolt is a 1/2" grade 5 bolt with a lock-nut, heavy duty spring included. A 1/2", 1.5" long grade five bolt and lock-nut is also provided to secure the target to the forward cant bracket.
The forward cant bracket will allow an approx 15 degree forward cant of the target. If more or less forward cant is desired it can be adjusted, see directions under images.
The stand base and upper portion mount to a 2X4 board. 2x4 is not included.
The provided bolt is a grade 5 bolt but will sustain damage with repeated hits. Replace hardware as necessary.
All steel is AR500, certified at a Brinell hardness of atleast 500.
Targets are cut using a CNC plasma system.
Minimum rifle distance from target-100 yards. 100 yards is sufficient for some .223 and .308 ammunition. Calibers and ammunition with higher muzzle velocity require increased distance to impact in order to minimize target damage.
For muzzle velocities 3000 FPS or higher (including .223) increased distance of 200 yards is recommended to minimize target damage. Magnum calibers and muzzle velocities over 3400 FPS- 300-400 yards is recommended. Long range cartridges, e.g. .338 Lapua, .50 cal are not recommended.
Minimum recommended pistol distance from target 15 yards.
Targets are painted white. Paint over bullet splatter as necessary for continued visualization of the bullet strike. Either side of the target may be used.
Hanging the target face pointed slightly downward will help direct bullet splatter down and reduce the risk of injury.
WARNINGS:
*Shooting steel targets can be dangerous, there is always a chance of ricochet!
*Always wear safety glasses, and appropriate clothing. Bullet fragments can be directed towards shooters or spectators.
*Never shoot steel core, bi-metal, armor piercing, or other hardened ammo at any steel target.
*Never use ammunition that travels below 750 fps. Ammunition that travels over 3000 fps may cause target damage.
* Always stand at least 100 yards from the target when using rifle calibers or shotgun slugs.
