Tom’s Targets Front Facing Fox, 10mm Hardox AR500 Target
The Front Facing Fox is a life-size fox silhouette cut from 10mm Hardox 500 steel, sized at roughly 350mm x 450mm and presented head-on rather than side-on — the narrow, awkward profile you actually get when a fox is called in and stops to look at you. It’s a genuinely different shot to a broadside target: less plate to aim at, and it rewards the precise, centred hold you need for a clean shot on a fox facing you at close range. Hardox 500 has a nominal Brinell hardness of 500 HBW, which is what stops a bullet penetrating the plate, and the profile is laser cut for a crisp, accurate outline. It’s supplied in its natural mill finish, ready to paint and maintain in your own colour, and it’s rated for all firearms except .50 calibre and above.

This front-facing fox target is exactly what I needed for more realistic shooting practice. The head-on profile makes aiming much more challenging and improves my focus. I painted it black and it looks great on my range.
Matt Roberts –
The laser cut edges are sharp and the steel feels solid. It’s a great addition to my target setup. I appreciate that it’s not just a standard side-on silhouette.

I’ve used this target for several sessions and it’s helped me improve my shot placement. The narrow profile really forces me to stay centered. Easy to mount and maintain.
