Tactical AR500 Targets (Tatargets) designs and manufactures AR500 and AR550 steel target systems.
We provide uniquely crafted and designed steel targets and related systems for the law enforcement, military, private security, and professional training industries.
High-quality steel for long-lasting target systems
Utilising modern computer numerical control (CNC) equipment and fabrication procedures enables us to offer a different class of steel targets and systems. While most steel target manufacturers simply follow the trends and utilise only AR500 steel, we incorporate higher-quality AR550 steel, which increases the lifespan of our targets, creates more audible feedback, and allows closer distance usage with carbines in comparison to similar target systems.
We have developed a process to ensure that the steel we receive exceeds minimum hardness specifications. All hardened steel has variances and unless a minimum hardness is specified at time of order, it is nearly impossible to ensure that high-quality plate is being received. We specify minimum hardness levels at time of order from the mill and require hardness test certifications for verification. For target plates we utilise at minimum AR500 steel but offer premium AR550 steel for our high-volume customers. It is critical to use proper steel to ensure a long life and the safest environment possible.
Target systems for versatile training experience
With nearly two dozen different systems available, Tatargets offers a system for every training scenario. Each AR500 or AR550 system fills in a critical role.
Whether our customers are close-quarter battle training or practising long-range marksmanship, Tatargets provides solutions that are designed to outlast all other models on the market.
Steel silhouette target systems for adverse environments
Silhouette targets are essential for training professionals. Our A-DAP and Magnum A-DAP systems are built to withstand adverse environmental conditions. Set them up on your range, shoot, and leave them out. Simply bring some touch-up spray paint to keep the target fresh.
The hanging mechanism and design of the plate allow maximum resonation and audible feedback out to 800 yards and beyond, depending on terrain and wind conditions. Our 0.5in AR550 Magnum A-DAP system is a close-range carbine target rated at 30 yards with 5.56 Nato when using lead core, copper jacketed ammunition at 3,000 feet per second (FPS) or less.
Multi-use round bases for steel and paper targets
Our signature 20in inside diameter (I.D.) round base has accessory slots for 1in x 2in wood strips, which allow our customers to utilise both steel and paper targets simultaneously without the need for extra bases. The A-DAP system is specifically designed and mounted to take advantage of paper coupled with steel. Track shots on paper, get feedback from the steel.
Reactive target systems for effective range training
Whether shooting carbines or pistols, reactive steel can help programme muscle memory and speed up training while on the range. Everything from our 7.62 x 51 rated duelling trees to our falling tree, hostage and zone targets offers extra value to our range training sessions.
Work movements, transitions, and follow-up shots on our reactive steel targets speed up recovery and follow-up shot times. Every target system adds an innovative element to your training.
