Ready Ship Silhouette for Versatile Drills

The 20″ × 9.5″ Ready Ship Strike Face gives you a familiar silhouette that works for rifle and pistol standards, movement, and transitions, with a 5.75″‑wide top that creates a defined upper scoring area. It is equally at home in structured practice or field‑style stages where you need a reliable, easy‑to‑see plate.

SR500 Steel for High‑Round‑Count Training

Cut from 3/8″ SR500 rifle‑rated steel, this strike face is built for modern rifle and pistol calibers and extended training cycles, offering higher hardness and better resistance to pitting than standard AR500 plate. Pair it with compatible Defense Targets hardware to create a durable, modular steel setup that can grow with your training needs.

⚠ Safety Note: Always follow recommended safe distances and ammunition guidelines for shooting rifle‑rated steel targets. Use proper eye and ear protection and discontinue use if you see excessive pitting, cratering, or damage to the strike face or mounting hardware.
