Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers is the Caldwell AR500 Can Target rated for?
This target is designed for use with rimfire calibers (such as .22 LR) and common handgun calibers (such as 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP) fired within the manufacturer's recommended velocity limits. It is not intended for use with rifle calibers or magnum handgun rounds, which can damage even hardened steel targets at close range. Always consult Caldwell's guidelines for minimum shooting distances and approved calibers.
How close can I shoot to this target safely?
Caldwell recommends maintaining a minimum distance of 10 yards for rimfire calibers and at least 15–25 yards for centerfire handgun calibers. Shooting too close increases the risk of dangerous spatter and can also accelerate wear on the target face. Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection, and ensure your backstop is adequate for steel target use.
Does this target require any special maintenance?
AR500 steel targets are extremely low-maintenance. After extended use, you may notice paint wear on the face of the target — simply repaint it with a bright spray paint to restore visibility. Inspect the target periodically for pitting or deformation; if the steel face shows significant cratering or cracking, it should be retired. Storing the target out of standing water when not in use will help prevent surface rust and extend its lifespan.
