Introducing one of the best values in the world of reactive AR500 steel targets... the Straight Shot Gunsmithing CUTTING EDGE Reactive Target System is a very flexible, highly deployable, and incredibly rugged design that is built to last. This is an excellent design that offers shooters many options from full IPSC profile to the smaller and more challenging reactive target plates. These targets are very rugged and are built to last forever. Looking to make an investment in AR500 steel targets for your range? Take a look at what this system offers.

Testing: SSG Reactive Target System Generation 1 and 2 targets have been tested for 2 years with thousands of rounds on target at various ranges, from magnums to pistols, from point blank range to extreme long range:
AR-15s with M193 at point blank (less than 10m)
FN FAL with M80 at close range (less than 100)
Magnums at various distances from 300 – 1400m (ELR Effective)
Shot from various angles, inducing many edge hits at various distances with various cartridges and loads.
Target was left in the natural elements to test bearing pivot system with over a year of rain, sleet and snow exposure w/o maintenance
1. Configuration
a. Features
i. Full IPSC
ii. Target plate and stand are cut from 3/8" AR500 steel
iii. Hostage target flapper plate is on a bearing pivot system which provides reliable & function – long term
1. Adjustable spring tensions for different ranges and remaining energies
iv. Adjustable target legs
1. Enables forward cant positioning on level ground
a. deflects bullet fragments downward
2. Ability to square target to shooters position on uneven ground (hillsides, embankments, etc…)
3. Legs are angled out from center for a very stable platform
b. Size and Shape - Full IPSC 32 x18” – head is 6 ¼” x 6 ¼”
c. Portability
i. Legs fold up and pin closed
ii. Handel cut into bottom eases carrying
2. Ruggedness
a. AR500 3/8” steel
i. Withstands 3,000FPS impact velocity
ii. Plasma cut design sets
1. Plasma VS Laser CNC VS Water Cut practically indiscernible
a. HEZ and steel normalization adds edge strength and reduces chipping due to brittleness
b. Engineering Ideals VS Field Reality
c. Enables cost effective feature sets
3. System Deployment
a. Ease of deployment
b. Most stable platform
c. Easy set up and adjustment for uneven terrain
4. Cost Effectiveness – Most clang for the buck
a. Available as just a plate, legs available separately, available w/o hostage and bearing pivot system
5. Modularity
a. Many possible upgrades and add-ons
i. Different size flapper plates
ii. Can be hung with straps on swings if desired
iii. Can be outfitted with 2x4 and additional plates
iv. Many other custom options available
Results:
1. very tough, could not be damaged
a. critical components totally protected behind target
2. legs are impervious to bullet impact
a. angle of deflection is high
b. pins and bolts behind target plate
3. set up is easy
4. can be used on any topography – upslope downslope, side-slope, etc…
5. edge hits are indiscernible when compared against AR500 LASER CNC cut targets
6. bearing pivot system still provides reliable function after 2 years exposed to the elements, it’s is protected on top by pivot frame assembly frame, bearings still very smooth, never had to use greases irks yet, performs as if brand new, flapper still moves with ease
7. Straight Shot Gunsmithing is family owned and operated business – salt of the earth folks who live clean and love the Good News
