This kit is available in a few different configurations for all budget levels. This version is the the DIY un-welded assembly that comes with an un-welded throat assembly. This kit is available with and without the our patent-pending Multi-Purpose Base (MPB) and you can also purchase this kit un-welded in our DIY Shooting Target section. Save by purchasing the un-welded kit and fab up your own base. 

Our setup is designed to be used with 1.5″x.25″ angle iron. We sell all of our reactive targets without the angle iron. You can source it locally for $12-$15, or you can buy it separately in the Replacements and Add on section of this site. It’s a more expensive option simply due to the shipping cost. Remember, we want to make this target kit affordable for all budgets. If possible we recommend you source it locally.
