8. Dragon Targets AR500 Steel Targets ½ Inch Thick Laser Cut, 12'' Painted and Ready to Shoot AR500 Gong and Reactive Targets Made in USA
7.7/10 our score
- American Made Steel: Dragon Brand shooting targets are made in America from high quality and durable AR500 steel. Our AR500 targets can be flipped from side to side to protect against premature pitting and with proper use and care, will last a lifetime.
- Eliminates Glare: Our metal targets are painted with a non-reflective matte white paint for maximum visibility and to minimize glare for the shooter. Each Dragon gong target can also easily be repainted after the original paint is knocked off.
- Laser Cut: Dragon Targets are made with a Mitsubishi CNC laser cutter for maximum precision and strength. We use a laser cutter because heat from other cutters (such as plasma) causes the strength of other steel range targets to diminish prematurely.
- Hear Every Hit: When our ar500 steel targets are hit, they make a loud ‘dinging’ noise that lets the shooter know they are on point. This eliminates the need to walk downrange to check for strikes and allows for more rounds to be shot in one session.
- Safety First: All safety protocols and guidelines should be strictly adhered to when target shooting. Once you switch from paper to steel, you will never want to go back! Why shoot a target, when you can shoot a Dragon?
