Featuring AR500 steel construction and a high-visibility black/orange impact enhancement design, this resetting target is ideal for airgun shooters who want clear hit confirmation, satisfying movement on impact, and a convenient self-resetting format for practice and skill-building.
If you’re searching for a resetting airgun target, AR500 steel target for airguns, Caldwell steel target, or a high-visibility impact target that keeps your drills moving, the Caldwell 820585 is engineered for easy feedback and repeatable shooting sessions.
AR500 Steel Construction for Durability
When it comes to steel targets, material matters. AR500 steel is widely used in target systems because of its hardness and wear resistance under appropriate use conditions. For airgun shooting, AR500 can provide long-term durability and consistent target behavior—especially when paired with proper placement, distance, and safe shooting practices.
This makes the target a solid choice for:
Regular backyard airgun practice
Pellet rifle and air pistol training sessions
Skill drills where a consistent target response is helpful
Users who want a durable target that holds up over time
(Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance regarding safe distances and suitable airgun power levels.)
Resetting Action Keeps You Shooting
A resetting target is designed to reduce interruptions. Instead of stopping to reset plates manually, the target’s design allows it to reset itself after being engaged—helping maintain rhythm during training and making practice more efficient.
Resetting targets are especially useful for:
Repetition drills and consistent cadence shooting
Training sessions where you want to minimize downtime
Solo practice where walking to reset targets is inconvenient
Keeping a session engaging and productive
Impact Enhancement and Motion Feedback
This Caldwell target features black/orange impact enhancement coloring, which helps improve visibility and target definition in varied lighting. Combined with motion on impact, it provides two types of feedback:
Visual contrast for easier aiming and target acquisition
Movement reaction when struck, helping confirm hits quickly
That immediate feedback is valuable during training because it helps you identify successful shots without needing optics or constant target checks.
1.50" Target Element for Focused Practice
With a listed 1.50-inch target element, this setup supports more focused aiming practice. Smaller target elements are commonly used to build:
Better trigger control and consistency
Improved sight alignment and hold stability
Repeatable shot placement
Skill progression over time
Whether you’re working on fundamentals or adding speed, a smaller aiming point can help sharpen precision.
Great for Airgun Practice, Skill Drills, and Backyard Training
Because it’s designed for airgun use, this target fits naturally into:
Backyard pellet gun training (where permitted)
Garage/yard setups with safe backstops
Skill drills such as controlled pairs and cadence work
New shooter practice where visible feedback helps learning
As always, ensure you have a safe shooting environment, an appropriate backstop, and compliance with local rules and property guidelines.
