Challenge Targets: Steel Shooting Range Targets

Challenge Targets manufactures steel shooting targets built to survive serious use. Since 2009, their targets have absorbed over 100 million rounds—real data from real shooters, not lab conditions.

Their catalog spans everything from basic gong targets to competition-grade systems:

• •Reactive targets: Texas Stars, plate racks, dueling trees, swinger targets, pepper poppers
• •Competition targets: USPSA and IPSC designs with harmonic and flapper styles
• •Skill builders: Auto-reset rimfire targets, quick-draw pistol targets, bullseye setups
• •Infrastructure: Target stands, bases, ground stakes, and armor posts

• •AR500 steel manufactured with 500 BHN minimum hardness (98% USA-made and certified). They also use AR550 in select designs where the harder material reduces pitting without compromising safety.

Real longevity examples from their FAQ: - Targets at nearby training facilities taking 400,000+ pistol rounds with zero failure - Static targets outlasting reactive models (fewer moving parts = longer life) - Year-round outdoor durability confirmed—paint touch-ups recommended for appearance, not function

Every target design undergoes extensive live-fire testing before hitting the market. This matters: there's no government oversight for steel target design in the U.S., so manufacturer rigor is the only guarantee.

Thousands of government agencies rely on Challenge Targets. They offer military and law enforcement discounts for both individuals and organizations. Replacement parts are available and designed to be inexpensive and easy to swap.

"Every Challenge Target is engineered to perform flawlessly, delivering consistent visual and audible feedback. Each good hit enhances the shooter's experience by providing clear pass/fail results that can't be contested."
