Reactive C Zone Steel Target - Vital Zone

The Reactive C Zone Steel Target - Vital Zone is created from a USPSA sized C Zone plate. Then we cut out a TRUE A Zone center section and mounted a paddle behind the opening. You will note a DISTINCT audible difference between an edge hit along the C Zone plate or a perfect shot placement within the A Zone. Also, use fresh paint to tell where shots are landing. Train efficiently and effectively with this target. Additionally, you will save time, money, and energy by focusing on what you are there for: Shooting. This means faster, more efficient training which means more rounds down range with purpose.

Built tough for hard training.

The C Zone plate as well as the paddle are constructed from our legendary, ultra high quality 3/8" AR550 steel. Due to the nature of the construction and brackets we ONLY offer this target in 3/8" AR550 at this time. There are NO WELDS on this target plate whatsoever. That means the C Zone plate and paddle can be flipped and shot on the reverse side. This equates to double the life of the system. The lack of welds means the structural integrity of the system is retained and our customers get the absolute most value out of this system, PERIOD.

Vital Zone Post Attachment:

Adjustable brackets further your training. You'll experience less wear and tear and down time, and more training. Yes, this is 2.0 Spec. All A-DAP system accessories interface with this system.

Negative. Much of what we do is substantial abuse testing for QC and R&D of new and existing systems. Always follow our recommended distances for training. While shooting closer often does not pose a safety threat, it is harder on the systems. Users will potentially increase wear and tear with leads to unsafe targets when misused.

Yes. Our CNC formed brackets offer 3 levels of lean. The steepest setting would be placing the clevis pin in the lowest hole for maximum forward lean.

YES! The Vital Zone works with ALL A-DAP system accessories, including the hostage, and adjustable armored posts.

Yes! Any of our 3/8" AR550 systems have a 1 year strike plate warranty. If something cracks or breaks prematurely, we'll replace it so long as it was used properly. We take immense pride in how we treat and stand by customers. This system is absolutely no different. You are purchasing the highest quality systems from us and they will perform as such.

Yes. Go into our "individual products" section of the website.

We produce our products in Lancaster County PA. We oversee every step of the process, QC, production, packaging, and shipping. From start to finish, TA Targets is manufacturing high quality systems for hard use. Our owners own the machinery, facility, equipment, etc. We have invested heavily in newer specialty equipment to further streamline our processes and increase quality even further.

No. The “armor” we use for the strike plates (actual target impact plates) is made from a proprietary material that is manufactured in Sweden. this is the best material we have found in the world. We were largely dissatisfied with the QC of American made strike plates and had too many issues with quality control. Eventually we hope a US manufacturer creates a material that is as available and as stringent as our Swedish plate. For now, this is the best material to service our customers. US Manufactured AR500 and AR550 is used in areas that are NOT main strike plates. Some examples of this are the Rifle Dueling Tree Shields, Plate Rack Shields, Arachnid front shield and hostage brackets.

We source all other raw materials like our mild steel and AR500 steel from domestic mills. SOME hardware will unfortunately come from overseas as there are no US counterparts available at this time. We do NOT use Chinese mild steel or AR500 steel in any circumstances in any of our systems.

This system features our newest adjustable lean brackets for optimum target lean for various uses and distances. Please note: we recommend purchasing the steel armored post if you desire to use the steepest hole location with the C Zone plate.

  • 3/8" AR550: Rated for pistols at 10 yards, .223-308 at 50 yards. Larger calibers 100 yards. Users should be cautious using magnum calibers on this system. Increase distance for calibers larger than 308/6.5CM to avoid damaging plate. If you are after an EXTREMLY high volume target, consider our C Zone A-DAP System.

Maybe. Just in case, be sure not to eat the paint or lick the target before or after you’ve shot it. If you are just curious, led tastes horrible and will probably cause mental damage. If you have done it once you are likely to do it again. Handle at your own risk, if you choose, you may wear an industry grade hazmat suit and gas mask with a HEPA filter and good luck charm on your wrist.
