AR500 Steel Targets

At American Contractors Academy (ACA), we aim for 100% customer satisfaction. If you think there may be a defect or missing items, please contact us at info@americancontractorsacademy.com for a store credit or an exchange of the product within 30 days of purchase. You will receive your credit within 3-5 business days of the return product’s arrival at our shop. ACA will not give out a refund for used products that are returned. Store credit or an exchange/repair will be all that is allowed if the product is deemed to fall under the limited warranty.

Targets which fail to meet the required hardness spec of 475-525 (500 +/- 5%) will be replaced upon return to ACA if done so within 30 days of purchase. Return shipping is at buyer’s expense. For returns where hardness failure is suspected, please include details of the situation leading to suspected failure, including photos of the mounting system, distance, and load data for the projectile (fps, weight, caliber, and material). To be eligible for a return, your item must be used within our posted usage guidelines and must not have been shot with ammo containing steel. If ACA determines through testing that an unaltered target fails to meet the required hardness spec, a replacement target will be shipped to you, and we’ll make sure you’re covered on your out of pocket for returning our bad target, likely in the form of additional steel. If the target cannot be confirmed to fail the required hardness, we’ll be happy to ship it back to you at your expense. Shooting any ACA target with steel jacketed, steel core, incendiary, armor piercing (AP), or light armor piercing (LAP) projectiles, as well as shooting these targets at distances shorter than what is recommended will void any warranty and may result in significant damage to the target, increased risk of ricochet, and risk of fire. If it’s not lead and copper, it’s not meant to be shot at steel. Soft points (SP), hard cast lead, wadcutter and hollow points are the ammo of choice.
