Build Realistic Hostage and Precision Drills

The 6" Hostage Head Paddle is designed to add realistic decision-making and precision to your training. Mounted to a Hostage Head Post Top, it forces you to make clean, well-placed hits that drive the paddle from one side to the other, simulating hostage, no-shoot, and tight headshot scenarios in a controlled environment.

SR500 Durability for Rifle and Pistol

Cut from 3/8" SR500 ballistic steel, this paddle offers higher hardness and longer life than standard AR500, with excellent resistance to pitting and cratering under modern rifle and pistol loads. It is built for high-volume practice on properly set up hostage head systems when used within recommended distances and ammo guidelines.

System Requirements

This paddle is sold as a strike face only. To run it as intended, you will need:

  • A compatible Defense Targets Hostage Head Post Top (not included)
  • Appropriate steel target base, strike face, and stand for your range setup
⚠ Safety Note: Always follow safe engagement distances for rifle and pistol on steel. Use proper eye and ear protection, avoid armor-piercing or steel-core ammunition, and discontinue use if you see excessive pitting, cratering, or damage to the paddle or mounting hardware.
