MTST
Mini TST Reactive Star Target — SR500 Rifle Rated
The Mini TST is a compact, high-performance reactive star target engineered for tactical and competition training environments. Optimized for handgun work but fully rifle rated, this system delivers aggressive, fast rotation that forces clean transitions, timing, and shot calling under real pressure.
Constructed entirely from precision-cut SR500 steel, including both the paddles and the support arms, the Mini TST is built to withstand repeated impacts while maintaining smooth, predictable reaction. A 39″ overall diameter and 48″ overall height give you a reduced footprint star that moves faster than full-size systems, ideal for advanced skill development and match preparation.

Compact Star, Big Demands
With its 39″ diameter and 48″ overall height, the Mini TST delivers smaller geometry and faster movement than a full-size Texas star. As paddles drop and the mass shifts, the star accelerates and decelerates in unpredictable ways, forcing disciplined sight tracking, trigger control, and timing under stress.
Fully Rifle Rated SR500 Construction
Unlike light-duty stars intended only for pistol use, the Mini TST is built entirely from SR500 steel for both paddles and arms. When used at appropriate distances, this construction supports rifle and handgun training on the same platform, making it a true multi-role tool for serious ranges and professional users.
Reactive Paddles For Dynamic Engagement
The reactive paddle system is tuned for consistent rotation and predictable reaction shot after shot. As each paddle is knocked free, the balance shifts and the star responds, challenging shooters to manage transitions as the target’s movement and presentation constantly change.
Epoxy-Coated For Hard Outdoor Use
Every Mini TST ships with an industrial epoxy coating that helps resist corrosion and weather exposure in demanding outdoor conditions. Combined with SR500 steel, the finish keeps the system looking clean and operating smoothly through classes, matches, and regular range use.
Built For Tactical & Competition Training
Designed with input from tactical and competition shooters, the Mini TST excels in defensive drills, stage prep, and advanced standards that test movement, target acquisition, and throttle control. Its compact footprint makes it easier to integrate into small bays, shoot houses, and dynamic training environments than many full-size stars.
