AR500 Centerfire Texas Star
-
Challenge yourself with the ultimate reactive target: the Impact Precision AR500 Centerfire Texas Star – a dynamic, spinning steel system designed for intense shooting drills and competitive excitement. Proudly manufactured in Central Texas by veterans, this premium Texas Star is built from military-grade 3/8" thick American-made AR500 steel to handle repeated centerfire impacts with ease.
Precision CNC laser-cut for clean edges and minimal heat-affected zones, it features five replaceable 8-inch round targets that are pressure-set: hit one solidly, and it drops off, unbalancing the star for thrilling spins and unpredictable movement. The entire system – including the rack and base – uses a weld-free, bolt-together design with included Grade 8 carriage bolts and nuts for superior strength and easy breakdown into a compact package for transport and storage. Edges are tumbled or sanded post-production for safe, smooth handling. Ships unpainted and made to order.

Caliber Rating & Recommended Distances
Our 3/8" AR500 steel targets are rifle-rated and designed for exceptional durability across a wide range of calibers. To minimize surface pitting and extend target life:
- .223/5.56x45mm: 100+ yards
- 6.5 Creedmoor & .308/7.62x51mm: 150+ yards
- Magnum rifle cartridges: 300+ yards
- .50 BMG: 500+ yards
All standard pistol calibers are safe at any distance. For magnum pistol rounds (e.g., .44 Mag, .357 Mag), use 25+ yards.
These distances are conservative guidelines for optimal condition. Real-world testing shows outstanding performance at closer distances: 5.56 FMJ at under 20 yards leaves only minor marks, while high-velocity magnums like a custom 300 RUM (245gr Berger at 3100 FPS) at 300 yards produce no pitting. We've rigorously tested dozens of cartridges with excellent results, which is why we exclusively offer 3/8" thickness – delivering proven protection without the added cost and weight of thicker steel.
