FAQ

What calibers can this target handle?

The Black Bear is cut from 3/8" AR500 steel and is rated for rifle rounds up to 3,200 fps. For rifle calibers 5.56 and above, a minimum shooting distance of 100 yards is required for both safety and to preserve the longevity of the target. Pistol calibers can generally be shot at closer distances - contact us if you have questions about a specific round.

How does the reactive vitals feature work?

The Black Bear features a dedicated reactive zone in the vitals area of the target. When struck, this section moves or swings to provide instant visual and audible feedback confirming a hit in the kill zone. This makes it especially effective for training hunters to place accurate, ethical shots.

Does this target require assembly?

Setup is minimal. The integrated base system uses two armored legs that slide directly into the base to support the target's massive weight. No welding or tools required - simply slide the legs in and you're ready to shoot.

How is this target shipped?

Due to its size and weight of nearly 200 lbs, the Black Bear ships via freight on a pallet. Please contact us before ordering to arrange delivery. We can also ship directly to your local gun shop if you prefer - just have their contact information available when you reach out.

Is there a lead time on this target?

Yes - all MR TARGET animal targets may include a 2-4 week lead time. Please contact us before placing your order to confirm current availability and estimated ship dates so there are no surprises.

What warranty does the Black Bear come with?

The Black Bear is backed by the MR TARGET Lifetime Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This reflects MR TARGET's confidence in their AR500 steel construction and commitment to producing targets that last.
