The Caldwell AR500 Plate Rack Kit brings competition-style plate targets to the range. Each kit includes three 8-inch diameter plates with hanging brackets and two steel 2×4 frame hubs. The plates and brackets are made from rifle-rated 3/8-inch AR500 steel for use with handguns and centerfire rifles. The steel frame hubs accept standard 2×4 lumber (not included) so the rack size is customizable and easily expanded with optional accessories.
