As I sit here writing this, my excitement is through the roof! After months of hard work, prototypes, testing, and countless adjustments, I am thrilled to finally share my AR500 Reactive Target System with you all, the SpinDrop Tree. If you are passionate about target shooting, you understand how crucial the right equipment can be. My vision for a more dynamic shooting experience can significantly enhance your practice sessions. Let me take you through the exciting journey of creating my reactive steel targets and why they can add an exciting twist to your shooting experiences.


The Birth of an Idea


The AR500 Reactive Target System was born in my garage, filled with tools, metal scraps, and my desire to create something special. While traditional static targets served their purpose, they lacked the engagement I craved as a shooter. I wanted to create targets that not only challenge shooters but also provide a rewarding experience with every shot fired.


After extensive research and discussions with fellow enthusiasts, I discovered that reactive steel targets were the way to go. These targets move, spin, and provide immediate feedback, turning each shot into an opportunity for fun and improvement. In fact, studies show that training with reactive targets can improve shooting accuracy by up to 30%, making them an invaluable addition to any shooting range.


Why AR500 Steel?


You may be wondering why I chose AR500 steel for my targets. The answer is simple: durability and resilience.


AR500 steel can withstand high-velocity rounds, making it ideal for any shooting range. I wanted to ensure my reactive targets could endure heavy use while maintaining their integrity. Each target in the system is carefully crafted to handle whatever you throw at it—literally. If properly maintained, AR500 targets can last for thousands of rounds without significant wear.

A Hands-On Approach


One of the most rewarding parts of this process was the hands-on approach to creating these targets.


I spent many hours in the workshop, welding, cutting, and assembling different components. Each prototype underwent rigorous testing to ensure that the activation mechanisms worked seamlessly. Input from fellow shooters guided my improvements. My aim was to create a fun and interactive experience where shooters could track their performance in real time.


The Design of the System


The AR500 Reactive Target System is not only functional, but it's also designed for versatility.


You’ll find a variety of target systems, suitable for different shooting scenarios. Whether you are practicing precision shooting, participating in a dynamic competition, or just having fun with friends, our targets adapt to your needs.


Moreover, our targets are easy to set up and transport. You can take the action wherever you go—be it your local range or a weekend getaway in the woods.


Features That Excite


What makes my reactive targets stand out? It’s all about the features!


  • Immediate Feedback: Unlike static targets that offer no indication of a hit, these targets react to every shot. When you hit one, it makes a loud noise and pivots, giving you both visual and auditory feedback.


  • Customizable Options: You can tailor the target configurations to match your shooting preferences or goals. For example, whether you want to shoot for accuracy or speed, the targets adjust accordingly.


I aimed to create a system that allows you to focus more on the thrill of the shot and less on the setup logistics.


A Commitment to Safety


Safety is crucial in shooting sports, and I have incorporated features to ensure you can enjoy your time on the range with confidence.


These targets are designed to be used at distances suitable for various calibers. I have included clear guidelines on safe use to promote optimal enjoyment while minimizing risks.


Next Steps Together


As I unveil the AR500 Reactive Target Systems, I’m not just sharing a product. I’m inviting you into a community.


I hope to iterate on designs based on your feedback. I will share tips and tricks for getting the most out of your reactive steel targets. Additionally, I am planning to host range days where we can come together to shoot and have fun—all while building connections.


Exciting Times Ahead


I can hardly contain my excitement in sharing my AR500 Reactive Target System with the world!


This journey has been incredibly fulfilling. It combines my love for target shooting with the desire to create something meaningful for fellow enthusiasts. As you discover the vibrant experience of shooting at these targets, I am eager to hear your feedback and suggestions.


So gear up, head over to your favorite shooting range, and prepare for some action!


I look forward to seeing you all out there, hitting those targets, sharing laughs, and making memories along the way. Happy shooting!



I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my world of reactive steel targets! I genuinely believe these products will elevate your shooting experience. Stay tuned for further updates, and remember that every shot counts!
