TacStrike Steel Target Systems – 2 Year Anniversary Sale

Posted on April 29th, 2013 by ar15news

Just the other day I saw Pat Rogers say, “For those unaware, Rob makes the best steel targets available.”  A recommendation like that shouldn’t be taken lightly.  If you’ve heard guys like Pat Rogers, Pat Goodale, Chris Costa, Matt Jacques, Steve Fisher, etc. talking about how awesome TacStrike’s 1/4 scale steel targets are and you still haven’t bought one, maybe this will help persuade you.  TacStrike will be coming up on just their 2 year anniversary in July but they’ve already made such a huge impression on the shooting community that they’re basically the first name anyone thinks of when looking for quality, affordable steel target systems.  To commemorate their 2 year anniversary, TacStrike has lowered the price on their 1/4 Scale Steel Target to just $200 and has a goal of selling 200 of these in the next 2 months.  Target images and details are listed below.  Take advantage of this awesome offer and help them meet their goal of 200 at TacStrike.com.

The TacStrike 1/4 Scale Steel Target System were not designed for the occasional use in a backyard or weekend match.  It was designed for Firearms Instructors who are responsible for training thousands of shooters every year and need a Target Line that will stand up to the hundreds of thousands of rounds that will be sent downrange.  This means that the average shooter will have their Quarter Scale Steel Target System for a lifetime of use.

TacStrike’s 1/4 Scale Steel Target System was designed over years of training shooters at one of the nations most notarized shooting schools.  Pat Goodale and PFT Team Members have coordinated for more than a decade to design the most functional target design on the market.  Now on its 6th generation the PFT has reached the pinacle of function and durability.

TacStrike “Fat Boy” Full Size Steel Targets On Sale

Posted on February 1st, 2013 by ar15news

Last month you guys killed it with our first ever AR15NEWS Group Buy of TacStrike products.  This month, while Rob gets your orders ready to ship, TacStrike will have their “Fat Boy” full size steel target systems on sale.  This is their flag ship piece so you don’t typically find a deal on it.  Right now you can save an additional $75 off their already low price for a top of the line, full size steel target.  These are much larger than the very popular 1/4 scale targets you typically see.  Get in on this deal while you can.

Our steel wasn’t designed for the occasional use in a backyard or weekend match.  TacStrike’s Full Size Steel Target System uses the same floating target mounting system as our famed 1/4 Scale Target System that was designed over years of training shooters at one of the nations most notarized shooting schools.

The AR 500 plate floats inside of the carrier allowing it to absorb the impact without the need to swing to the rear or rock in the carrier to absorb the bullet impact.  From 22 to 12 gauge slugs this one target system will serve you for years.

The Upright mounts into the base plates center 2×2 pocket and has an armor plate attached to the front of the post to keep those low rounds from damaging the post.

The base of this target system also holds 1×2 or 2×2 uprights at the right distance apart for a standard IPSC or IPDA target.  So there is no longer a need to take multiple bases to the range or redesign your target line if you are the owner of a range.  Simply pick the upright and plate out of the base and replace with uprights in the outer pockets.  Tension screws are located on the outer pockets to lock in either size wooden upright you are using.  Drain holes in the pockets and stake holes in the base arms are also pre-cut for your convenience

NEW!! TacStrike BSYF (Bigger, Stronger, Younger, Faster) Target

Posted on January 24th, 2013 by ar15news

I think its a safe bet to say that a large majority of AR15 owners don’t do any real training with their weapon which is unfortunate.  The extent of their skill is based on hitting the bulls-eye (or all around it) on a small square target at 50 to 100 yards and that’s about it.  Those who find themselves using their AR15 on the job, in self defense, etc will tell you that either 1. They wish they had done more real world training instead of plinking or 2. They are glad they did the training they did because it helped prepare them for a real world situation.  Up until recently that training was typically done with either IDPA or IPSC targets, etc.  The issue with these targets is that while some are very detailed and feature a head, shoulder and torso silhouette, they were not designed to full scale.  This is where the target master Rob from TacStrike stepped in and created the BSYF Target.

Rob worked in conjunction with Pat Goodale of Practical Firearms Training to design a full size target based on the size of the average American male which is 5’10″.  Pat has always taught that you need to train as if your attacker/opponent will probably be Bigger, Stronger, Younger and Faster than you which is why they named the target the TacStrike BSYF target.  Pat, like many trainers, also teaches his students three main aiming points when engaging your opponent which are Head, Center Chest (Center Mass) and Pelvic Girdle (Pelvis, Bones Around Groin Area, etc).  All three of these area’s are designated on the target with a perforated circle about the size of your open hand which Pat teaches is combat accuracy.  There are also perforations which outline the arms as well.  

Rob told me that the targets were made without distinct features for a few reasons.  First, your attacker will not have some bright red circle that says “Shoot me here!”.  Second, as Senior Instructor at PFT he has talked with many of his peers and they are concerned with having undercover reporters showing up to take their classes and they don’t want to give them anything they can twist into fuel to throw on the fire of why we need more gun control.  “Having a human face or anatomy target on the line during an open registration class if this happens will not go well.”  However, you can always use a marker or paint can to highlight these regions if you so choose to. 

If you want to train effectively you need to train as if you’re actually in the fight right now.  “Practice the way you’ll play”  The TacStrike BSYF Target will help you do just that!  Purchase yours at TacStrike.com starting today.  All prices on the website include shipping so what you see is what you pay.  Also, if you are an Instructor teaching courses (not just certified but actually teaching) or if you want to be a dealer you can inquire about TacStrike’s Professional Pricing by emailing info@tacstrike.com or call 606.356.1994.  Word on the street is that a certain “Yeti” just bought 500. 

TacStrike Takes It To The Next Level With Target Financing

Posted on January 3rd, 2013 by ar15news

As many of you guys are aware, TacStrike is the industry leader when it comes to Steel Targets and innovative target systems.  To be the best means never cutting corners NO MATTER THE COST.  Setting up your personal or business range with Steel Targets isn’t the cheapest way to go and Rob (owner of TacStike) knows that.  This is why they have teamed up with the guys over at GunFinancing.com to offer financing on 4 popular packages that will instantly turn your boring range into a state of the art Steel Target Range.  The first three packages are your choice of either 4, 6 or 8 Quarter Scale Steel Targets.  The 4th package is called the Range Master and includes 4 Quarter Scale Steel Targets and 4 Full Size Fat Boy Steel Targets. 

There are multiple financing options to choose from which include a 6 months 0% option.  I have a feeling that there are plenty of gun ranges and home ranges out there that have been wanting to upgrade their range but couldn’t stomach the upfront cost all at one time.  Now you can have up to 24 months to absorb the cost.  Take a look at the “TacStrike Targets With Financing”, just another level in the top notch service at TacStrike.com.
