Birchwood Casey AR500 3/8″ Crow Silhouette Target
The Birchwood Casey AR500 3/8″ Crow is a precision laser-cut steel target plate shaped as a crow silhouette, built for reactive steel shooting at the range. Cut from 3/8-inch AR500 steel, the same hardened plate used across Birchwood Casey’s silhouette range, it’s rated to handle bullet energy up to 3000 ft-lbs, comfortably covering the great majority of centre-fire rifle and handgun loads. The laser-cutting process leaves a smooth, burr-free edge rather than the rough, torn profile of a plasma-cut plate, which matters both for consistent behaviour on impact and for the sharpness of the crow outline itself. A single mounting hole lets it hang from a T-post hanger, gong hanger or dedicated stand, and the plate is finished in Birchwood Casey’s bright white powder coat, which stays clearly visible and durable.

The crow silhouette is very sharp and stays clear after repeated shots. The steel holds up well even with high-energy rounds. Easy to mount and looks great on the range.
Diane White –
I’ve used this target for several months with both rifles and handguns. It holds up well and doesn’t show signs of warping or damage. The finish is bright and visible.
Carl Mitchell –
The target performs well under normal shooting conditions. The laser-cut edge is noticeably smoother than other similar targets I’ve tried. Slight concern about the single mounting hole, but it’s sufficient for my setup.
