Birchwood Casey is known for making targets and shooting support gear and now the company is rolling out the Texas Star Plinking Target, a new piece of range gear designed to make your training sessions both productive and exciting. The Texas Star is a new reactive target that was developed to build the shooter’s speed, boost their ability to acquire targets quickly, and engage multiple targets with precision and confidence.

The Texas Star is rated for handguns, rifles, and shotguns and stands 4 feet tall with five 6-inch diameter targets that pivot backward on impact. The targets are easily reset to keep the action going, and the entire assembly is made of strong AR500 steel for safety and durability. In addition to this, all metal components come powder coated from the factory for ruggedness and long life. The target assembles and disassembles easily for transport to and from the range.

The audible and visible reaction of the Texas Star provides a more exciting, satisfactory shooting experience than just plain paper targets. The target array lets you get more out of each round fired and provides instant feedback to help improve shooting technique and hone real-world marksmanship skills. The rotating target array helps you develop the ability to hit moving targets along with the tactical patience needed to take the shot when it happens right in front of you.
