Thor Targets: Extreme Durability
Sending rounds down range is a must for anyone looking to improve their accuracy. However, this can turn into a chore, especially at longer distances. Paper targets aren't great for holding up to the elements like rain or strong winds, while other options may have limitations affecting their lifespan. This is where Thor Targets—recognized for delivering top-notch training products—comes in. Their targets are ideal for anyone serious about improving their shooting accuracy, whether for competition or preparedness. We were able to validate the durability of Thor Targets with the myriad of samples they provided during CANCON Arizona, 2024.

Product Range
Thor Targets offers a wide array of products tailored to meet different training needs:
Steel Targets: Crafted from AR500 steel, these targets are designed for longevity and provide immediate feedback upon impact. Their robust construction makes them suitable for high-volume shooting. The steel targets come in various shapes and sizes, including gongs, silhouettes, and poppers, allowing shooters to customize their training sessions. The steel is proprietary, is tougher than AR-500, and can withstand a shot from a .50 BMG at 25 yards. Steel this strong ensures that these targets can withstand thousands of rounds, making them a cost-effective solution for serious shooters.
Target Stands: Ideal for rapid set up, and the use of customized paper targets, they are perfect for zeroing in your firearm and refining your aim. Stands range from simple gong hangers, to low profile stands used to set up traditional paper targets. They are made to eliminate some of the hassle that arises when setting up your own range, or if going to a range that may be under equipped.
Reactive Targets: These targets add a dynamic element to training sessions. By moving or reacting to hits, they simulate real-life scenarios, making practice sessions more engaging and effective. Reactive targets include gongs, dueling trees, and hostage targets, each designed to challenge shooters and improve their reflexes and accuracy. The movement and feedback from these targets create a more realistic training environment, helping shooters develop the skills needed for various situations.

Quality and Durability
Thor Targets prides itself on using high-quality materials in its products. The steel targets, for example, are made from a proprietary formula that is tougher than AR500 steel, increasing its hardness and ability to withstand repeated shots. Each target is made to withstand all calibers traveling up to 3000 feet per second. This commitment to quality ensures that shooters receive products they can rely on for extensive use. We witnessed this toughness first hand while their steel targets withstood a sustained barrage from several thousand shooters during our CANCON event!
