The new Mule Kick™ AR500 Steel Target from Birchwood Casey® provides shooters a tough, high quality target that will provide years of shooting practice.
The Mule Kick Target is 15 ½ inches in diameter and made of1/2” AR500 steel so it will absorb rounds from centerfire handguns and rifles without a hitch. The target eliminates the need to walk down range, as hits create a loud “ring” that can be heard at distances over 300 yards. The simple, yet innovative stand holds the target low to the ground at the proper angle to the shooter, so that bullets are deflected downward. The target can also be suspended from, or bolted through the holes in the gong as long as the proper angle to the shooter is maintained.
The Mule Kick is rated for centerfire handguns and rifles up to and including magnum calibers. Handguns require a minimum distance of 25 yards. For rifles, the target should be no closer than 100 yards. High velocity rounds (3000+ fps muzzle velocity) or magnum calibers should only be used at ranges of 200 yards or more.
The Mule Kick Target is proudly made in the USA and sells for a suggested retail price of $233.40.

How to stay ahead once the pressure sets in
By Sammy Bruce

It’s incredible how fast ducks and geese get wise to hunting pressure. A true credit to the resilience of nature, these birds often change daily patterns immediately with the first sign of hunting and become reluctant to land anywhere but in the neighborhood park.
Hunters can up their odds in a number of ways. Read more
