Innovative Steel Targets Built to Last
Welcome!
Arizona Steel Targets offers recreational and competitive shooters, clubs, and ranges a collection of quality targets to enhance your shooting experience.
​
All our targets are crafted with AR 500 steel plate, and we offer custom services with AR 550 plate for extreme applications. All items are fully assembled (no tools required).
Arizona Steel Targets is proud to announce our sponsorship of the Berry’s Steel Match that started on April 3, 2025, and Berry’s Red Rock Rumble starting September 17, 2025, with both matches at the beautiful range in Hurricane, Utah (St. George, Utah). Check back soon for updates!
About Our Products
Arizona Steel Targets, LLC manufactures a variety of steel targets fabricated from AR (abrasion resistant) 500 plates. This steel product is heat treated to produce superior resistance to high velocity impact, grinding and abrasion. Arizona Steel Targets only uses certified AR 500 base material for all shooting targets. These targets fulfill USPSA requirements for competitors and clubs as well as for the casual shooting enthusiast.
Purchase price is dependent upon the market cost of raw material; however, we offer a discount to ranges and individuals based on quantity. Advantages to AST's steel target systems differ depending on the target system you choose.
​
We can build almost any type of target and will advise on time and cost. It is also important to note that no matter what grade of AR material is used, steel targets are a consumable product that will eventually break down in some manner. Arizona Steel Targets strives to engineer targets to minimize stress risers to prevent cracking. Using heavier loads on targets designed for rimfire will shorten the life of the target or shooting targets for center fire pistols with rifles at closer range will also shorten the life of a target.
Forward falling Poppers
Whether a mini popper or a Pepper Popper for USPSA or IPSC style poppers or Colt style, are forward falling. There are advantages to this system that are not available in a rear falling popper.
​
1) Wind resistant - all the poppers are designed to lean slightly forward; the wind is unable to cause the popper to fall thus preventing re-shoots due to range equipment failure.
2) Calibration - the need to calibrate poppers is eliminated as the design of the activation mechanism is designed to fall with the lightest of loads. The need to constantly check and/or adjust poppers during a match, are all but eliminated, again preventing re-shoots due to range equipment failure.
3) Spatter/Ricochets - as the popper is leaning slightly forward, the shrapnel is directed downward into the ground thus preventing dangerous ricochets back towards the shooter, range officers or spectators. This is especially important if your range has restrictions to rounds leaving the range, as this popper all but eliminates the issue.
4) Interchangeable - whether you choose a popper style of either 28" or 42" USPSA style poppers, IPSC style poppers or Colt style, all the poppers use the same base and connection system which makes changing poppers quick and easy.
Knockdown Plates
All knockdown plates, regardless of size or shape, lean slightly forward and have advantages that standard knockdown plates do not have.
1) Spatter/Ricochets - All plates lean slightly forward when struck the shrapnel is directed downward into the support plate, thus preventing dangerous ricochets back towards the shooter, range officers or spectators. All knockdown bases have an integral plate that prevents accidental shooting of the base which prevents re-shoots caused by range equipment failure.
2) Calibration - All plates have a calibration function which greatly enhances where and how the plates can be used.
3) Interchangeable - All plates are interchangeable using the same style of base. All knockdown plates are individual which means having another plate fall when another plate is shot is eliminated. Again, this is another major cause of range equipment failure which is eliminated. Bases can be ordered of different heights, and an adjustable height base can be special ordered.
