Elevate Your Shooting Practice: Discover the Taylor Targets Pro Series Mark II Silhouette Target

Are you a dedicated shooter constantly searching for a durable, reliable, and versatile target system that can truly stand the test of time and countless rounds? Whether you're honing your precision for competitive shooting, practicing tactical drills, or simply enjoying recreational plinking, traditional paper targets often fall short, requiring frequent replacement and offering limited feedback. Serious marksmanship demands a target solution that evolves with your skill, withstands the impact of various calibers, and provides instant, satisfying feedback on every shot.

Enter the Taylor Targets Pro Series Mark II Silhouette Target. This isn't just another steel target; it's a meticulously engineered training tool designed to significantly enhance your shooting experience and accelerate your skill development. Optimized for both rifle and handgun use across diverse scenarios, the Mark II addresses the core challenges faced by shooters: target longevity, clear shot identification, and adaptability for varied training regimens. For those wondering, "What's the best steel target for my shooting range?" or "How can I get immediate feedback on my shots to improve accuracy?", the Pro Series Mark II offers a compelling answer, setting a new standard for a premium training experience. This exceptional target system is readily available for instore pickup at DEGuns, ensuring you can acquire a top-tier asset for your shooting endeavors from a trusted source.

The Unmatched Durability of AR500 Steel: Built to Withstand the Toughest Impact

At the core of the Pro Series Mark II's exceptional performance is its construction from Heavy Duty AR500 steel. For shooters, material matters, and AR500 is the gold standard for reactive targets due to its extraordinary hardness and abrasion resistance. But what exactly does AR500 mean for your training?

• Superior Longevity: Unlike softer steels or disposable targets that quickly degrade, AR500 steel is specifically designed to absorb repeated bullet impacts without deforming or cracking. This translates to thousands of rounds fired on a single target, providing unparalleled longevity and a significant long-term cost saving compared to continually buying and replacing paper or self-healing targets.
• Safety and Integrity: The hardness of AR500 steel minimizes pitting and fragmentation, directing bullet splatter predictably downwards and outwards, which is crucial for range safety. This ensures the target maintains its structural integrity, providing a consistent and safe shooting surface over extended periods of intense use.
• Crystal-Clear Feedback: When a bullet strikes AR500 steel, it produces a distinct, audible clang and a visible swing, offering immediate and unmistakable feedback on shot placement. This instant gratification is vital for training, allowing shooters to quickly analyze their aim and make on-the-fly adjustments, accelerating the learning curve for improved marksmanship.

If you're asking, "What material makes the most durable shooting targets?", the answer unequivocally points to AR500 steel, and the Mark II leverages this robust material to its fullest.

Precision Training with a Purpose: Silhouette Design and Laser Scoring

The Taylor Targets Pro Series Mark II features a precisely cut 20" x 12" silhouette target. This humanoid silhouette shape is not merely aesthetic; it serves a critical purpose in developing practical shooting skills:

• Realistic Training Scenario: The silhouette mimics a human torso, providing a highly realistic target for defensive, tactical, and competitive shooting drills. This prepares shooters for real-world scenarios more effectively than abstract shapes.
• Enhanced Feedback with Laser Scoring: The Mark II incorporates advanced laser scoring boundaries. These finely etched lines on the target surface serve as precise visual indicators, outlining critical hit zones. When combined with the audible feedback of a steel target, the laser scoring allows shooters to instantly assess whether their shot landed within a designated scoring area, eliminating guesswork and providing objective performance data for every round fired. This feature is particularly valuable for shooters who need to improve their grouping and shot placement within specific regions of a target.

Unparalleled Versatility: Multiple Mounting Options for Every Scenario

One of the standout features that makes the Pro Series Mark II a top choice for diverse training needs is its remarkable versatility in mounting options. This adaptability ensures that no matter your shooting environment or training objective, the Mark II can be configured to meet your exact specifications:

1. Standard Frame and Chain Setup with Pro Series Base: The Mark II comes complete with chains and a frame designed to seamlessly fit the Taylor Targets "Pro Series Base" (sold separately). This traditional setup provides a highly stable and robust foundation for the target, ideal for fixed-position shooting at the range. The base provides a wide, stable footprint, minimizing wobble and ensuring the target remains securely upright even under heavy use.
2. Elevated Height with the "Bracket": For scenarios requiring a higher target profile, perhaps for shooting over obstacles, from a kneeling position, or simply to adjust for varied terrain, the Mark II can be mounted separately using the "Bracket" (sold separately). This method allows for a significant increase in target height, offering new possibilities for dynamic training drills.
3. Extended Height with the "Extension Set": Similar to the bracket but offering potentially even greater height customization, the "Extension Set" (sold separately) provides another ingenious way to elevate the target. This is particularly useful for long-range shooting where a higher target may be needed for line of sight, or for creating multi-level target arrays.

Using any of these three methods in conjunction with the Pro Series Base provides solid, reliable support for the target, ensuring stability and safety during even the most rigorous shooting sessions. This modularity answers the common query, "How do I adjust my shooting target height for different drills?", offering practical solutions for dynamic training.

Optimized for Diverse Calibers and Distances

The Taylor Targets Pro Series Mark II is engineered to accommodate a wide range of firearms, making it a truly versatile addition to any shooter's arsenal.

• Handgun Use: For handgun practice, the Mark II is rated for .22 rimfire through centerfire handgun calibers and is optimally used at a minimum distance of 25 yards. This distance ensures both target longevity and shooter safety, minimizing bullet splash-back and maximizing the lifespan of your investment.
• Rifle Use: When it comes to rifles, the Mark II shines, accommodating .22 rimfire through big bore rifle calibers (up to .30 caliber). For rifle shooting, the recommended minimum distance is 100 yards. This rating means you can confidently engage the target with popular calibers like .223/5.56mm, 7.62x39mm, .30-06, and .308 Winchester, making it an excellent choice for developing long-range rifle skills.

Important Note: While the target is incredibly durable, always adhere to the recommended distances and calibers to ensure maximum target lifespan and, more importantly, shooter safety. Always consult the comprehensive Warning and Safety Page available at DEGuns for specific shooting information and best practices.

Caring for Your Pro Series Mark II Target

While AR500 steel is incredibly tough, a few simple care tips will ensure your Taylor Targets Pro Series Mark II provides years of reliable service:

• Regular Inspection: Before and after each use, inspect the target surface for any signs of excessive wear, pitting, or damage. While minor imperfections are normal, significant damage could indicate improper use (e.g., shooting too close, using inappropriate calibers) or manufacturing defects.
• Cleanliness: While not strictly necessary, occasionally wiping down the target can help prevent rust, especially if stored in humid environments. A light coat of oil can also offer protection.
• Proper Storage: Store your target in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements, which can accelerate rust formation.
• Adhere to Safety Guidelines: Always maintain the recommended minimum shooting distances and use appropriate calibers as specified on the Warning and Safety Page. This is the single most important factor in preserving your target's lifespan and ensuring your safety.
