It sits about 1/2" away from the head of the target. Solid build, heavy. **Q: Any chance a air powered bb pistol would swing? Thinking no. I’m looking for basic training tools with like weight/feel. Only getting 400fps** A: At 400 fps and with a BB, there is no way. Maybe some of these 60 fpe PCP rifles, but definitely not with a walmart red ryder bb gun. **Q: Will a 22 out of rifle be able to swing the orange target?** A: I shoot it with a TX22 pistol from 15 to 25 yards and it swings no problem, so rifles should be no problem as well. Maybe others have rough edges on the pivot if it doesn't swing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***E on 19 January 2026* This plate is just as strong, thick, and durable as plates costing 3-4x. Size and finish right on point and easy to put on your favorite hanger. Let the sound of perfect tings and pings guide you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***R on 25 December 2025* Buy it, quality is great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***M on 29 June 2025* Why did you pick this product vs others?: I got a small one, size A. At 30yrd, it was still easy to see and I was able to hit it pretty easily. The upper target is quite small, so it was hard to see it at that distance, but it gets set up closer, it can easily be targeted. I shot about 200rds of 9mm and 100rds of 38 spl. It didn't have any issues with those rounds. The upper target often get stuck in the middle or spun around even when it's not hit, but overall, I had lots of fun with it. Before I wrapped up my trip, I tried 62gr 223. I shot dozens and i was surprised it stood up there. I noticed that it created some small craters, but at 30 yrds with dozens of 62gr 223 out of 18" barrel, it withstood those rounds pretty well. There are some cheaper targets, but I'm still happy with this purchase and will be shooting at it for awhile. It was fun. ## Frequently Bought Together - Highwild AR500 Steel Hostage Reactive IDPA Shooting Target 3/8" Thick Armored Steel Torso Targets - Neon Color - Highwild T-Post Target Hanger - T Post 2x4 Bracket Target Mount - AR500 Steel Gong Targets Conversion Adapter - Highwild AR500 Steel Target for Shooting 1/2" Thick Gong Silhouette Metal Target - Laser Cut - Neon Color --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/294832057-ar500-steel-hostage-reactive-idpa-shooting-target-3-8-thick](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/294832057-ar500-steel-hostage-reactive-idpa-shooting-target-3-8-thick) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
