Out on the range with Caldwell’s Jared Grove, it’s clear that steel targets have come a long way—and Caldwell has been at the forefront of making them affordable, durable, and smart. Whether you're looking to build out your own home range, set up for long-distance precision shooting, or just want a fun way to compete with your friends, Caldwell’s steel target line offers modular options that perform like commercial-grade setups.
And if you’ve somehow missed all this innovation in the past few years, now’s a great time to catch up.
Caldwell’s steel targets are built from AR500 steel, meaning they’re capable of taking repeated hits from both rifles and handguns without deforming or cratering. And yes, they’re backed by a lifetime guarantee.
If you’re someone who enjoys shooting often—and with a variety of calibers—these targets are made to keep up.
One of Caldwell’s standout innovations is their Flashbang hit indicator system, which visually confirms a hit by flashing a light when the target is struck. Great for long-range, low-visibility, or fast-paced competition shooting.
“If you're shooting the target twice in a row, that short flash helps you spot each impact.”
It’s a subtle but handy feature—especially for solo shooters who don’t always have a spotter.
Caldwell’s DIY target kits are a game-changer for anyone looking to build a legit range setup at home. These kits are modular, easy to transport, and designed for assembly using standard 2x4 lumber.
This gong is big enough for long-range shooting, but also serves as a great close-range pistol target.
“You're thinking long range. I’m thinking pistol up close. It works for both.”
This is perfect for competitive drills, steel challenge setups, or just fun range days with friends. And yes, everything but the 2x4s is included.
Unlike the DIY kits, the Caldwell Dueling Tree is a complete system—no lumber or extra pieces required.
Whether you’re using lever guns, semi-autos, or handguns, this tree is easy to tune. Lean it forward for heavier hits or set it more upright for faster pistol flips. And yes, it’s a blast for head-to-head shooting games.
“We've been out here on the range—thousands of rounds from big guns over the last several days—and these suckers are tough.”
And perhaps most importantly, it’s all designed for shooters who actually shoot—a lot.
If you’ve been thinking about building your own shooting range or upgrading your steel game, Caldwell’s line of AR500 targets, Flashbang indicators, and modular kits make it easier—and more fun—than ever.
Whether you’re just starting or a seasoned shooter looking for more feedback and flexibility, Caldwell offers a steel solution for every scenario.
“From DIY kits to pro-level features, Caldwell lets you build the range you want—without breaking the bank.”
