I am retired from the Army and a career in law enforcement. During this time, I have always tried to improve my shooting abilities. Having quality, durable, and reasonably priced target systems is vital to successful training. I have been running my own training company for 15 years and use Challenge Target systems exclusively. From poppers to spinners to stationary target systems, they all work extremely well. I wouldn't have the success with my training classes without Challenge Targets.

Challenge Targets are Simply the Best
I discovered Challenge Targets several years ago through a social media video. After buying one target to test and compare against other brands, I can confidently say there’s no comparison—Challenge Targets are simply the best. I train police officers daily with rifles, handguns, and shotguns, and these targets can really take a beating. I haven't broken a single one yet, while I've witnessed many other brands fail regularly. Their customer service is exceptional, and believe it or not, someone actually answers the phone when you call. Due to the amount of money it takes for ammo, training and time. Save yourself the effort and use Challenge Targets for your needs. You won't be disappointed. Have a great day!

I can attest to your products. I have three, a tree (for 22 rimfire), knockdown plates, and, of course, the Texas Star. The last two are AR500 units. I use mine to teach my students, yes, but also my kids and grandkids love shooting these too. Especially popular with my grandkids is the shooting tree... they love to compete with each other with Ruger 10-22 rifles. Good products, great customer service.

Note attached pictures. We wrapped up a 1,300 round test through 10 guns with a variety of buckshot and slug loads at a distance of 50'. The targets and target stands held up very well to lots of abuse. Everyone here is very impressed with the design and construction of the product.

Just wanted to thank you for your help in deciding what to order and facilitating such a quick turnaround. Our targets arrived last week, much quicker than expected, and we were able to assemble the plate rack and steel challenge practice set this morning and give them a go. Quality and design is incredibly impressive, very comprehensive directions, simple assembly. The adjustments on the plate rack are simple and enabled us to use everything from a .45 to .22 and knock the plates over. Resetting is simple and easy with great leverage, anyone can use it. The angle and design kept the splatter area very close, and the simple and quick plate removal allows us to secure it when not under supervised use.

I've been a LE firearms instructor for over 47 years. A principal firearms instructor for municipal and state agencies, former NJ State Rangemaster and an instructor with Heckler and Kock's International Training Division in the 1990s. I have been with Brad and Challenge Targets since their beginning. I find their targets to be long-lasting especially aganist our rifle drills. The overwhelming selection of steel target styles and presentation configurations has helped me develop drills relevent to "the street" and reduce the "target shooting" mentality of our LE clients. Excellent products and the best customer service in the business, makes me double those gold stars to 10!!

I have Challenge Targets portable Texas Star with centerfire and rimfire plates and their centerfire and rimfire dueling trees. They all work perfectly. I use them for training others at my local gun club and at my home range. I can't say enough how impressed I am with the owner's personal involvement in the day to day operation of the company.

I cannot speak highly enough about Challenge Target's steel! The portable Texas Star is perfect for use at multiple facilities or various locations throughout the same facility. It easily withstands all the common, and various magnum, handgun rounds, and shrugged off Federal Flight Control 00 Buck with ease. It has been used in competitions every week for the last 4 months and shows virtually no signs of wear. The .22 dueling tree is much better construction and design than several other major steel target manufacturers and has been in regular use at our facility since 2014 with no need for replacement parts. Several years ago, shooting at one of Challenge Targets IPSC shaped steel plates, one member our group accidentally shot the rifle rated plate with .50BMG from 100 yards. While it did knock the plate off the stand, it didn't damage the plate and we've continued to use it for almost 10 years now, with a steady diet of steel core mil-surp ammo. I cannot recommend Challenge Targets highly enough.

Hello, my name is Mark and I have a small pistol range out in my pasture. Up until I purchased a SuperNova and a Dueling tree, me and my wife (and friends) were relegated to paper targets. Not much fun in that! Once we got our Challenge Targets we spend much more time at the range and is a hit with our shooting friends. We have done some night shooting with targets lit up by halogen lighting and then relaxing by a near-by fire pit with camp fire. Everyone is impressed with the quality of these two products and the ease of maintaining (simply spray paint and away we go!!).

I recently started attending rifle and pistol matches. My local club had a challenge targets shoot to reset plate rack. After two matches of getting to shoot at this challenge target I decided it was worth buying one. Reactive targets are great for range time but they require resetting after each shot. This target allows the shooter to reset the target by shooting the final paddle. So far the only damage to the target has been a handgun round to one of the metal conduit legs but the target itself has held up fantastic and works great! I will definitely purchase more challenge targets in the future.

I love shooting Texas Star targets with or with out my wife. So when I seen this double Texas star I knew I had to have it. It was totally worth the money, and it was fun to paint all the parts the way we wanted. Additionally, I like how modular and compact this setup is. I do transport this to the range and store it at our house in the garage. It breaks down into 4 major componets for transportation and storage (wheels, stand, paddles). I like the wheel locking feature, quality level of the parts and componets. Lastly, the instruction manual is ID 10 T proof, incredibly detailed. Respect the steel

I have a couple TDI torso/head targets and a couple dueling trees for my home range. These are quality targets built to last. Having steel always out on the range makes practice easier and more frequent. No targets to haul out or paper to replace. Just a fresh coat of paint at the end of session. Brad is responsive and backs his products up. Highly recommend Challenge Targets. Gordon S.

I'm one of the Match Directors at our gun range and I wanted to buy a fun target system. I bought the Challenge Targets Double Pop Up Target System for our USPSA matches, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. First and foremost, the quality of this target system is outstanding—it's incredibly robust, and the clear instructions made assembly a breeze. Having used older clamshell designs in the past, I can confidently say that this one is far easier to reset. The design is thoughtfully crafted and truly clever. Additionally, the system seems highly reliable, significantly reducing the chances of any range malfunctions, which is a fantastic feature. The service from Challenge Targets is also first-rate if you have any questions and they have so many products to choose from.

I shoot recreationally and used to just shoot single gong style targets, old jugs, scrap metal etc. I finally decided to step it up and got the Propeller Texas Star. It's been a ton of fun to shoot and I think it has genuinely made me a better shooter. I probably spend twice as much time shooting during a range session now than I did with just static targets. The spinning targets are way more challenging and way more fun. I was also impressed by the target's build quality. Everything fits together seamlessly, and after more than a year of use, it has held up remarkably well. The plates are durable, and despite not repainting them after every session, there is still no rust or pitting to be found. Additionally, it’s easy to transport; it only takes three screws to set up and take down, and it fits perfectly in the back of my SUV. I would definitely recommend this target and Challenge Targets overall.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the incredible customer service I received. I began integrating steel targets into my training programs at my range. As part of additions and improvements, I was converting a narrow range bay to dedicate it for a plate rack. I ordered the plate rack in April (2025) and because the surface improvements to the narrow bay were tied to completion of a shoot house, I did not open the pallet containing the plate rack until August. To my dismay, I was missing components and hardware. Because of the 4 month span from receipt, I wasn't sure how addressing the issue would go. I was expecting to be questioned as to why I didn't inspect the pallet upon receipt. My reasoning was that it was better to keep the shipment intact until I was ready to assemble the plate rack. Frankly, I believed it would have been appropriate for Challenge to question this. Any concerns were wasted time. I reasonably expected the email I sent late Friday afternoon would be answered on Monday. However, I received a response late Friday night with assurances my components would be shipped Monday (and they were). I want to take this opportunity to thank Challenge for their immediate response and for rectifying the issue of missing parts immediately. This speaks highly of the company and its customer service. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Ghost ring tactical is a 400 acre tactical training facility out in the deserts of New Mexico where we run 4 day all inclusive training classes. We have been using Challenge Targets targets since 2015 and I absolutely love them. I can’t even name off all the different targets we use from them. I’ve tried other companies, but the challenge targets design is way better than everything else I’ve seen. Plus their customer support is amazing, since we live in a world that companies don’t think customer care is important anymore. Finding one that actually responds within minutes of emailing them and Brad has help me out with custom orders, allowing me to just buy the pieces I needed to fix targets. If you are looking for a top quality target company with outstanding customer support…you just found it!

We started upgrading our range in 2020 to use Challenge Targets products. Today, many of our customers come out just to shoot their steel. To be honest, our customer volume is increasing because of their targets. We are in the process of phasing out targets manufactured by other companies because we've determined Challenge Targets performs the best for our high volume needs. We truly believe in their products and their customer service is also on point!

I have bought multiple products from Challenge Targets. They are of the highest quality and show no signs of wearing. My most recent shipment had a box that UPS returned to the company after a day, saying that I rejected it, but it never came near here. I let the people at Challenge Targets know about it and they made every effort to ship it promptly. Great customer service!
