Shooting Targets USA's Texas Star
Description
The Shooting Targets USA Texas Star is a dynamic, rotating steel target system engineered to deliver a rigorous and genuinely challenging training experience for shooters of all disciplines. Five 8-inch SR500 ballistic steel plates are mounted on a 48-inch diameter hub, and as each plate is knocked free, the shifting weight causes the hub to spin unpredictably - forcing shooters to continuously adapt their aim and timing. This makes the Texas Star far more demanding than a stationary target, bridging the gap between range practice and real-world target acquisition.
Built from heavy-duty steel with a stainless steel shaft and sealed industrial bearings, this target is designed for high-volume use season after season. Whether you're competing in 3-Gun or USPSA matches, running a law enforcement training program, or simply pushing your skills on your own range, the Texas Star delivers a level of engagement that flat targets simply can't match. Proudly manufactured in King, North Carolina, it represents genuine American craftsmanship backed by a patent-protected design.
Key Features
- Five 8-Inch Ballistic Steel Plates: Each plate is 3/8-inch thick SR500 ballistic steel, built to withstand repeated hits from handguns, rifles, and shotguns.
- 48-Inch Diameter Hub: Large rotating hub creates unpredictable movement as plates are knocked free, simulating real-world target scenarios.
- Dynamic Rotating Design: Weight redistribution upon plate removal causes the hub to spin erratically, challenging shooters to adjust aim and timing on the fly.
- Stainless Steel Shaft: Corrosion-resistant shaft provides enhanced weather resistance for outdoor range use in all conditions.
- Dual Industrial-Grade Sealed Pillow Bearings: Maintenance-free, sealed bearings ensure smooth rotation and long-term durability under heavy use.
- Heavy-Gauge Bearing Cover: Protects bearings from falling plates, maintaining system integrity and extending the life of the target.
- Fast Assembly - ~10 Minutes: Requires only a single 1/2-inch bolt and a 5/8-inch wrench - no special tools or experience needed.
- Quick Reset - ~20 Seconds: One person can reset all five plates by lifting the spring and reinserting each plate stem into its pocket, maximizing training efficiency.
- Multi-Caliber and Multi-Discipline Rated: Compatible with handguns (min. 10 yards), rifles (min. 100 yards), and shotguns (buckshot). Popular for 3-Gun and USPSA competition.
