You engage a KYL target by starting with the largest target and shooting each subsequently smaller target gaining points for each target struck. You can stop at any target to keep the points you've earned. The catch is that if you miss, you lose all your points. To get as many points as possible you need to... wait for it... know your limits.
Additional Note: Every other KYL design I've seen uses 1/4" material and in my pursuit to design the perfect KYL target I've found that it's impossible to make one with 1/4" thick material that won't bend with very little use. Previously, I solved this problem by using a design that I had to tig weld the round target onto the hanger, and although it worked great for quite some time, after heavy use the welds start to fail. This design using 3/8" AR500 is the ultimate in functionality and more importantly reliability, so you can enjoy this target for many years to come!
From a customer that just emailed me... "I also just received a Kyl set from [redacted]. After just a few shots the 1/2" and 1/4" targets were already bending! Very disappointing. That's why I ordered your set of 3/8" thick swingers. The others were 1/4" thick"

Use this for NRL 22 practice. Very well built.

Got my order in record time and once again the quality exceeded my expectations.

This target takes a beating and is probably the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I bought two Atlas KYL Targets so I can compete against my son and others. These KYL targets are seriously heavy duty. You can't get better than the 3/8" SR500 steel. Easy to put together and use. These will last a lifetime.
I did make a modification that is very useful for improving the performance and stability and also makes it easier to do maintenance if needed. I have included a picture to show this. The modification is the addition of a 1" section of a 1" copper pipe coupler (not 1" copper pipe - you need the coupler for the increased diameter to slip over the pipe) on each end of the rack where the hose clamps would normally go. I drilled a 17/64" hole into the main rack pipe on each end of the pipe. The distance between the two holes is 24 3/4" or 12 38" from the center of the rack to the hole in the rack pipe on each end. So, you slip on the 1" copper pipe coupler section on each end and then add a 1/4" x 1-3/8" Yellow Zinc Round Wire Lock Pin (found these at Menards) on each end. Two ways this help the performance of the rack. One, you eliminate a potential problem when the end targets flip and catch the part of the hose clamp that houses the tightening screw. This is eliminated by the 1" copper pipe section that is added. Two, the pin creates a very good stop for the two rack supports on each end. The rack support sits against the pin and provides a good end stop. This modification also allows easy disassembly of the rack if needed. I hope this is helpful to others.

Just had a chance to get out shooting last weekend and this target was a blast. My two boys and I really enjoyed shooting at the target. It is easy to set up very well made and very fun.
