Shooting Challenge: Are You “Texas Star” Good?

There’s “I’m a good shot,” and then there’s “I’m a Texas-Star good shot.” Which are you?

Challenge Targets issues a challenge to you (and all shooters): Can you shoot a plate on the move? It’s the Texas Star Target Challenge, and it’s one of their most challenging target designs. The 8-inch plates are held in place with a unique spring retention system. When shot, the plates are released from the retention pocket and fall to the ground. The change in weight distribution causes the hub the rest of the plates to rotate…and then you have to shoot the rest of them. The precision machined shaft and duel pillow bearings maximize the speed and change of direction with each successful shot on the plates.

Resetting the target is quick and simple. Just lift the spring and insert the stem of the plate into the pocket. One person can reset all five plates in about 20 seconds. This commercial-grade Texas Star target from Challenge targets is commonly used in 3-Gun and USPSA matches. The Star Target also has a place in tactical and law enforcement programs as training on moving targets has become mandatory for many law enforcement agencies across the country. Of course, another great place for it is your back yard. You can have it for an MSRP of $695 by clicking here. (Note: At the time of this writing, the Texas Star target is on backorder.)
