I designed this target with the help of my friend Ken Nordstrom. Ken hunts coyotes both for fun and for competition and he wanted a target that would 100% mimic a real-life coyote so he could stay sharp without ever leaving his yard. Using measurements he's taken from skun coyotes over the years he figured out the golden # of 18" (watch the video if you'd like more detail). Practice on this target will get you ready for the real deal without compromise.

What target thickness do I need?

Target Selection and Use Guidelines

1/4" SR500+

Usage: Rimfire & Non-Magnum Handguns (.22LR, 9mm, .45 ACP etc)
Distance: 10+ yards
Energy Rating: Up to 500 ft-lbs at impact
Velocity Rating: Up to 3,000 fps at impact
Note: While this is rated for centerfire pistols, I recommend bumping up to 3/8" SR500+ if it's going to be for heavy centerfire pistol use.

3/8" SR500+

Usage: Handguns & Rifles (magnum pistols, .223, .308, .30-06 etc)
Distance: Handguns 10+ yards, Rifles 100+ yards
Energy Rating: Up to 3,000 ft-lbs at impact
Velocity Rating: Up to 3,200 fps at impact
Note: 3/8" SR500+ is the go-to target material for 95% of shooters and what I run on my personal range. If you're thinking that this material can't handle your rifle, remember that these ratings are at the point of impact and not at your muzzle. You just need to adjust your distance so the bullet loses enough energy to be bellow these thresholds. 

1/2" SR500+

Usage: Magnum Rifles (.300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua etc)
Distance: 100+ yards 
Energy Rating: Up to 4,000 ft-lbs at impact
Velocity Rating: Up to 3,200 fps at impact
Note: This is the go to target material for those of you who have magnum rifles and not enough range to get the target out there very far.

Ken did the dirty work so you don't have to. Hear about Kens experience hunting coyotes in South Dakota and how he got the dimensions for this target.

Awesome and fun targets!

Awesome and fun targets! Fast shipping, great packaging, easy assembly, very high quality and fun to shoot at! I have probably shot over 500-600 rounds of various caliber rifles and not a problem. I re-paint them after every shoot!

He recommends maximum velocity of 3200 fps, but I have shot them with my 22-250 from +100 yards out and I’m pushing 4000 fps, and they are holding up fine!

Outstanding Targets!

Awesome! A blast to shhot.

Great looking target! I bought this target to get some lifelike practice with my thermal. It meets that task extremely well! Nothing more fun than shooting a reactive steel target. I have to be careful because it is so much fun my ammo budget is going up. Attached a video of me shooting the target at 50 yards. Was shot using an AR I built in 6.5 Grendel with an 11.5" barrel and a Scythe Ti suppressor and some Druid Hill 95 gr Vmax. My thermal is a DNT Hydra 325. Not a very expensive thermal but does very well here in Maine where a long shot is 100 yards.

Great Target!!

Front facing target is great for preseason practice! Aim small shoot small vital zone is challenging at distance with thermal!! Atlas make the best, ships fast and accurate!! Once again impressive!

Students love the Coyotes

I purchased both full size reactive coyote targets. The students in my shooting school have absolutely loved the visual feedback that these targets provide! The targets are tough and anatomically accurate. I look forward to buying more targets from Brad going forward!

Fun target

Shipping was stupid fast. The full size target is a fun one to shoot. I took a pencil torch to it to push the moisture out of the metal before painting. I used Eastwood rust encapsulator to help show up with thermal. The Eastwood RE paint has a 350 degree raiting so I can heat up the metal a bit with a torch before shooting with thermal on a colder day. Or if it’s cloudy .

Full size front facing coyote

I bought this mainly to sight in thermals. I painted the main body black and the reactive center white. With limited testing on a 75 degree day in TX here is what I found. At 350 I could not clearly pick the target out from the background. At 250 yds I could make out the outline and see the center pretty good. I took 2 shots at 250yds with a 22Creedmoor. At 100 yds the target was clear. I expect on warmer days it will pop even more. I think if I had grass on my berm it would help also. My 2 shots hit the center and there was no damage. I was concerned about that with the velocity of 22CM.

Coyote reactive target.

I put the coyote out at 200yd with 2 single hook hangers. This target is awesome to shoot and very well made. Makes a great sound when you hit the heart. Buy these targets you will love them. I painted my targets with marking paint.

Front Facing Coyote is fun to shoot.

This target has nice cuts and is a lot of fun to shoot. The reactive piece swings nicely even with a 17WSM at 100 yards. I purchased it with the legs and set up is fast, easy and is stable. You can definitely hear the thud when you hit the target. Maybe with the gong pipe stand you will hear a ring but not sure. I have used it so far with the 17WSM at 100 yds, 150 yds along with the 22 Nosler at 150 yards and it didn’t appear to rock or move.
This Makes my 3rd target from Brad and pleased with all of them. Video attached is shooting it with the 17WSM at 100 yards, and using my Wraith on my 22 Nosler to record.

Top notch!

Fast shipping. The cut out detail is great and assembly was easy. The swing plate cut out tolerances are perfect. Once it was painted and dried I used the thermal to test it out. Works as advertised. Definitely recommend this to the thermal crowd for practicing.

Target is bad to the bone

Target is bad to the bone. I love practicing on a target that is life sized. 10/10 would buy it all over again. I have both coyote targets and they are awesome. Holds up well to my 243. Highly recommend. Fast shipping too

Must buy, great communication shipping and product no complaints. Glad to have life size targets for practice most people under estimate how small an average coyote is!

Life like outline at distance.

Really great target for long range thermal practice at distance. I use a propane high BTU torch wand for farm use to heat the target on cold winter days and boom! 500 yard hits with the Nocpix!
