FAQ
What calibers can this target handle?
The Mule Deer target is built from 3/8" AR500 steel and is rated to handle 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 target longevity. Pistol calibers can typically be shot at closer ranges - contact us if you have questions about a specific caliber.
How does the reactive vitals system work?
The Mule Deer features a reactive vitals shot zone built into the target. When you hit the vitals area accurately, the target reacts with an audible and visual response, giving you instant feedback without walking downrange. The target is self-resetting, so you can keep shooting without interruption.
