AR500 Steel Target, 12"X20" Silhouette, T Post hanger included

Description

You are purchasing one 12X20", 2/3 IDPA, 3/8" AR500 Steel Silhouette Target and one T-post type target hanger. Actual target size is 11.75" X20.
The T-post hanger, target bracket and all hardware are included. One spare target bracket will also be provided. The included bolt is a grade 5 bolt.
The hanger and bracket are made for use with a studded T-post. 5' T-post recommended. The T-post is not included but can be readily purchased at Tractor Supply, etc.
The target bracket bolts to the back of the target and provides an approx 15-20 degree forward cant when slipped over the hanger arm. The bracket is constructed of mild steel but is protected from bullet fire by the target. The bracket may wear over time with heavy use but is easily replaceable. The hanger arm is cut from AR500 hardened steel. The hanger and bracket is a "key lock" type hanger.
Instructions for use:
1) Bolt the bracket to the back of the target. 2) Slip the target hanger over the top of the T-post and tighten the set screw. 3)  Slip the target bracket over the hanger arm and rotate to a vertical position. The target will be locked onto the hanger.
All target 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.
Never shoot steel core, eg, M855, bi-metal, armor piercing, or other hardened ammo at steel targets.
