It's the industry standard for reactive shooting targets because it balances toughness and longevity. AR500 rated at 3\/8\" thickness, like on the Cougar, is appropriate for centerfire rifle calibers at safe distances and will last through thousands of rounds when used correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this target suitable for handgun use as well?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - the Cougar's AR500 steel construction handles pistol calibers with ease. There is no minimum distance restriction for handgun use the way there is for high-velocity rifle rounds.
