“Clear-Shot” AR500 CENTREFIRE Target Bundle – Reactive System with X-Base


Heavy-Duty Reactive Target System for Handgun, PCC & Light Rifle Calibres

The “Clear-Shot” AR500 CENTREFIRE Target Bundle is a complete, post-mounted target system optimised for pistol-calibre firearms, light rifles, and shotguns. Featuring 8mm AR500 Armour Steel on both the paddle and silhouette torso, this setup delivers reliable durability and controlled reactive feedback. Perfect for handgun and PCC training, this bundle offers the iconic “hit-the-paddle, avoid-the-torso” challenge with the strength to handle most centrefire pistol loads. While rated for select rifle calibres, we recommend upgrading to our 10mm version when using higher-energy rounds like .223 or 300 Blackout.


What’s Included:

  • 1 x X-Base Stand (Base Kit Only – powder-coated)

  • 1 x 90x35 Post Top Target Mount Kit (powder-coated)

  • 1 x Post Top Flip Paddle Bracket Kit (powder-coated, with bolts)

  • 1 x 100mm Round Flip Paddle – 8mm AR500 Armour Steel (raw/uncoated)

  • 1 x Half-Size IPSC Silhouette Target – 8mm AR500 Armour Steel (375x225mm) (raw/uncoated)


⚙️ System Features:

AR500 Armour Rated – Built from 8mm AR500 for excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for handgun, PCC, and controlled light rifle use.
PCC-Optimised Performance – Delivers perfect paddle actuation for 9mm, .40, and .45 ACP carbines without excessive movement or over-travel.
Centrefire Capable – With Limits – Rated for .223 and .300 Blackout at safe distances, but higher impact energy may cause overly violent paddle actuation. For regular rifle use, we recommend upgrading to the 10mm AR500 version for improved control and longevity.
Magnum Handgun Use – If using high-energy magnum loads, the 10mm AR500 system is also recommended.
Not Suitable for Rimfire or Airgun Activation – While the steel will withstand .22LR, air rifle, or CO₂ impacts, these rounds typically lack the energy required to flip the paddle reliably.
Smooth Flip System – Precision lock-in design ensures clean operation and consistent flipping with properly matched calibres.
