Challenge Targets Reactive Hostage Plate Target
We believe we have designed the ultimate reactive steel hostage plate target. To our knowledge, it is the only target of this type that functions reliably with both handguns and large caliber rifles. Our unique design utilizes two separate 3/8″ AR500 upright posts so the front plate (hostage) and the hinged head plate (hostage taker) are mounted independently. This prevents “false hits” that are common with other target systems. Missed shots that hit the perimeter of the front plate will not flip the head paddle.
- Ultra durable PATENT PENDING design has no welds
- Rated for centerfire rifles & handguns (velocity under 3,000 fps at target) (energy under 2,300 ft/lbs at target)
- Hanguns – minimum distance = 10 yards | Rifles – minimum distance = 100 yards
- Human torso shape AR500 front plate measures 8″ wide x 20″ tall x 3/8″ thick
- Head shape 3/8″ thick AR500 paddle – exposed area of head measures 4″ wide by 10″ tall
- Heavy duty legs constructed of 1/4″ steel with durable black powder coat finish
- Base of target has a 35″ diagonal footprint that is elevated in the center to provide excellent stability
- Upright posts, exposed brackets and hinge components are constructed of AR500 steel
- Quick release front plate and head paddle can be removed in seconds without tools
- Target is designed to safely deflect bullet fragments into the ground (adjustable forward angle: 5-20 degrees)
