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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBuilt 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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e360-Degree Engagement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unique 3D shape allows rifle fire from any angle, including from a moving helicopter platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4\" AR550 Steel Impact Plates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated to withstand up to .300 WIN MAG - built for serious law enforcement and military training.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProprietary Pivot Point:\u003c\/strong\u003e Target physically reacts to projectile impact regardless of shooter position or angle, providing instant positive feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamshell Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-piece 180-degree separation allows each half to be used independently on stands for ground-based range training.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCo-Developed with Tacflow Academy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed with input from Las Vegas Metro SWAT and Ret.

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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e340 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 x 40 x 36 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eImpact Plate Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/4\" AR550 Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Caliber Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e.300 WIN MAG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClamshell (two-piece, 180-degree separation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngagement Angles\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAET\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMGM Targets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreight - due to weight (340 lbs), ships on a pallet via freight carrier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimal assembly required; clamshell sections connect to form the full target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat calibers can the AET handle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe AET's impact plates are constructed of 1\/4\" AR550 steel and are rated to withstand up to .300 WIN MAG.
