The Noner
The Noner — SR500 Rifle-Rated Steel Target System
The Noner is a rifle-rated SR500 steel target system designed by Mike Pannone — founder of CTT-Solutions and a veteran of U.S. Marine Reconnaissance, Army Special Forces, and 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force), and a USPSA Master class competition shooter. The target is named after his callsign. The 3/8" SR500 strike face measures 7 5/8″ × 13 5/8″ and is cut from higher-hardness steel that outperforms standard AR500, delivering clear audible feedback on every hit and holding up through thousands of rounds of rifle and pistol fire.

Why SR500 Steel?
SR500 is a higher-hardness steel than AR500, purpose-built for steel target applications. The 3/8" SR500 strike face resists pitting, deformation, and cracking through thousands of rifle and pistol rounds — keeping your target safe, flat, and performing long after cheaper AR500 plates would fail.
Built To Go Where You Train
The Noner's collapsible steel stand fits in most vehicles and assembles in seconds at the range. Add a standard 2×4 for steel target use or 1×2s for paper and steel combinations. Every bracket and bolt is included — just supply the lumber and you're ready to shoot.
