  • CNC laser-cut in the USA from American-made SR500+ steel
  • SR500+ steel is more durable and better suited for steel targets than AR500
  • Pigeon target measures 6" wide and 5" 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.

Try not to shoot the legs!

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! That's 100% 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!

Great "Dove" Target

I just finished setting up a rimfire range at my parents property. I have this dove setup at 150yds and it has great sound and movement when hit with subsonic 22lrs. I call it a dove since it's a little smaller than a pigeon (I wanted a dove anyway). Shipping was very fast too. So far, I have no complaints with any of my atlas targets. Will definitely be adding more in the future. EDIT: here is a video shooting the dove at 150yds with a suppressed 22lr (turn the sound on). When using shepards hooks (my favorite) for target stands, you can put a hose clamp before and after the target, on the hook, to keep it from flipping off the stand like it did in this video.

Target review

The targets from Atlas Target Works are terrific. They hang well, paint well, sound awesome, and look great.

They adapt well to bases, legs or hangers. I highly recommend them.

Nice job Brad.

Pigeon targets

The targets are well-made and as the reviewer above said, sized more like a mourning dove than a pigeon but perfectly fine by me; shoot small, hit small. I am using them on my range with a pellet rifle and a suppressed.22.
Great product!
Targets are at about 30 yds and circled.

Well made.

Well made target! Well shaped like a real bird too. More closely resembles a Morning Dove in size, rather than the larger Pigeon.
