  • CNC laser-cut in the USA from American-made SR500+ steel
  • SR500+ steel is more durable and better suited for steel targets than AR500
  • Starling target measures 4" wide and 3-9/16" tall
  • 1/2" mounting hole accommodates 1/2" round or hex head bolt as well as all of my single hole mounting options but the rimfire leg base is my personal favorite

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.

Excellent target!

These are great little targets! They're tiny and make a heck of a challenge with a .22! They hold up well, too. One participant nailed one in the foot, and remarkably, didnt even bend it. I was afraid the feet wouldnt hold up. I painted them for realism, which made it even harder.

Try not to shoot their feet!

I really like the birds!! The starling and pidgeon have been very fun to shoot, but I will say they are not the most durable. I set them up at 100 yards so I hit the feet more times than I'd like to admit. The starling is cracked, and the pidgeon is missing a foot, whoops! It's probably100% my fault but just be aware of that! I shoot primarily cci sv, some high velocity here and there. Only 22lr though! If I had to do it again I would buy them again and not put them so far out. Also I will add the beak has not experienced the same weakness so far.. Knock on wood!

Perfect for practicing to ensure ethical real world shots

Perfect for practicing to ensure ethical real world shots. Im using for .22 PCP air rifle between 880 and 900 FPS pellets and 950 to 980 Slugs. With my use this will last a life time.

This needs a Sylvester companion target

Tweety could be in trouble! Great quality and finish on this target. This coupled with some custom versions of it will make for an interesting stage or two...

Tiny

He is tiny and he will duck your shots. But it is beautifully cut, really nice workmanship, and a tough little critter to hit.

Good target

I purchased this target to use at a state youth shooting match. The target was set up on one of Atlas's .22 rim fire shooting trees at 25 yards. Over 2000 rounds were shot at this target. The target took a beating and at the end of the day the only problem with the target was most of the paint was removed from bullet strikes. The steel with stood all those .22 rim fire hits. This smaller target was more challenging for the youth to hit. Would purchase this target again as well as any other of this caliber.

When You Run Out of Real Targets...

This is just the right size for airgun or rimfire practice. Atlas targets are always the greatest.
