MGM Targets Aerial Engagement Target (AET) - 3D Steel Rifle Target

Description

The Aerial Engagement Target (AET) is a purpose-built, three-dimensional steel target co-developed by MGM Targets and Tacflow Academy for high-angle sniper training from moving helicopters. Designed in partnership with Lead Instructor Jair Brown (Las Vegas Metro SWAT) and Mark Lang (Ret. Dallas SWAT), this target represents the next evolution in aerial platform training for law enforcement agencies. Its unique 3D shape allows shooters to engage from every angle - a full 360 degrees - replicating the real-world demands of aerial sniper operations.

Built from 1/4" AR550 steel impact plates, the AET is rated to withstand up to .300 WIN MAG rifle fire. A proprietary pivot point causes the target to physically react to projectile impacts regardless of the shooter's location or angle, delivering immediate positive feedback that builds shooter confidence. The clamshell design separates into two 180-degree sections that can be independently placed on stands for additional range training, maximizing your investment.

Why You'll Love It

The AET is one of the most specialized and technically advanced steel targets ever built for law enforcement training - trusted by SWAT teams and aerial platform programs across the United States and Canada. When every second of helicopter training time is precious, this target ensures you get maximum value from every round fired by registering positive hits from any angle and location. It was born from the same collaboration that produced the MGM Stadium Bullet Trap, a system used exclusively in Tacflow Academy's live-fire sniper courses at major public venues. Whether you're running aerial engagement drills or repurposing the clamshell halves for ground-based range work, the AET adapts to your training program. The combination of AR550 steel construction, reactive pivot mechanics, and field-proven design makes this the definitive aerial sniper training target on the market.
