Know Your Limits FAQ
Does it break down easily for transport?
YES, We use removable snap-pin legs for easy storage and transport.
Does it require tools for assembly?
YES, You'll need a 9/16" wrench or socket to tighten the paddles to the swivels. This is a 2 minute job and only has to be done once.
Do you sell parts if I break or lose anything?
YES, all parts are available separately and always will be. Use the search bar on our site to find what you need or check our accessories collection.
Can the frame be fixed if I shoot it?
YES, although it can survive glancing hits without issue.
It is from 3/4" EMT conduit and is available at any box box hardware and is around a dollar a foot.
We also sell replacement sections of EMT conduit for your convenience.
My 1/2" thick targets are chipping on the edge with centerfire rifle >2000fps is something wrong with your steel?
NO, this is normal and expected. This does not happen every time you hit an edge but it does happen.
"Edge Chipping" on the outside edges of AR500 targets is normal and unavoidable with bullet speeds over 2,000 fps. The harder the steel is and the further over 2,000fps (feet per second) you are the more prevalent this will be.
The flat faces of the targets can typically handle 2850fps with only minimal surface marking visible at that speed.
This is due to 2 reasons;
No supporting material on the outside edges of targets
Edges (even when laser cut) get harder from the heat during cutting
IS IT DANGEROUS?
No, because this is a chip and not a crater there is no way for an edge chip to redirect lead anywhere other than safely off to a side. Furthermore, at velocities over 2000fps the bullets will effectively vaporize upon impact leaving nothing left.
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
Assuming you want to shoot it at velocities over 2,000fps there is nothing you can do.
Keep in mind a 12" gong will get fewer edge strikes than a 1/4" target would as there are many more shots near the edges with tiny targets.
You will still get many years of use from your targets and if the edge chipping becomes a concern just flip them over as edge chipping does not typically extend to the opposite surface

I have been wanting to add a KYL to our home shooting range for quite some time. After researching and reading reviews I decided on the Shooting Targets 7 KYL. I couldn't be more satisfied with your product. Easy to assemble and craftsmanship is awesome. It's a challenging target and is so much fun. My friends and family will enjoy for years. Thank you for a wonderful product made in the USA!
Just finished a 4+h camp with mostly beginner shooters.they loved it . They get tired of shooting paper targets. I had them start on paper then move to steel.. Scoped 10-22 and they nailed it.
Easy to setup and well made, perfect for a 22. Kids love it at 50yd, those things are tiny! It got a bit windy and some of the flags tore in half but honestly they seem better that way, now they don’t catch the the target next to it like they did sometimes.
What a wonderful target set. It’s well made, sturdy, and easy to relocate. The price is fair for what you get and I suspect it will last basically forever as long as you don’t shoot the wrong rounds at it. Assembly took a little time but isn’t difficult. I’ll eventually hit that 1/4 inch target!
Assembly took less than 10 minutes. Easy take down for travel. Frame is rock steady. Paddle design directs the splash into the ground. Picture shows the KYL from 50 yards in our new back yard. Great fun, indeed, and the 1/4” paddle is rather challenging! Get one.
Rex and I have been shooting your target about 3 times a week now . We took the flags off , they were getting hung up and spread with lead . Rex put 5 foot legs on his and is shooting at 70 yards away. The targets are a little easier to see. We are having fun and hope to send you some more videos soon .
Store owner replied:
Hey Kenny, that's great to hear. If you bend those flags backwards 10 or 15 degrees and out of the spall line they'll last a lot much longer and won't get so beat up. Regardless, looking forward to more content from you guys . Our Facebook audience seems to really enjoy it.
Great product. Excellent quality. Easy assembly. Highly recommend this product.
Received yesterday and assembled with no issues, Just love them! Shot them today and it was a Blast!! Thanks for the awesome targets for a first time 22lr shooter!!
The KYL target system is superbly built. The build quality of the KYL target system, is without question, the best I have seen and used. I can quick assemble and disassemble KYL target system effortlessly. This is helpful when transporting KYL target system to different locations. I would highly recommend this KYL target system not just for the competitive shooter but for the average plinker who is looking to enhance their shooting skills.
Hello, I'm Todd from the wolverine state,the kyl I have is the 1/2 inch plates from shootingtargets7, mostly 22cal but also 5.56 at 100yds, awesome system, very tough and easy setup is a huge plus, half inch swings easy with 22cal even at 25yds,the bag you see is for transport of the kyl, fits great in the bag,just pop the flags and one leg off each side, it's the best kyl setup I have ever used by far!
Very sturdy construction and tons of fun to use! I was shooting 22lr at about 80 yards. I didn't have the invluded flags installed on this session. You won't be disappointed at how well it works, how well it is made, and all the fun that comes with it! I also purchased the carry case which is a "must have".
This has been such challenging fun! From grandkids with novice experience to the very experienced - great fun. Rimfire or center fire, start at closer distances (stay safe) or lengthen the distance as you improve, it's always challenging fun.
Loving the KYL rack so far. I can't imagine any amount of 22lr doing any damage to the paddles. I bought this for a fun target for my kids to use and for me to get some practice on various size targets with my new rifle. I feel this target is a good value. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love the KYL rimfire target! 10x the quality of the first one I bought from Amazon! Great engineering. I like the fact that the legs, crosspiece and target separators are all standard EMT, which you can get at any hardware/electrical store. (My experience is that anything DR gets shot ...eventually) Have cleaned it several times at 25 and 50 yards. Next outing, going for 75 and 100. Pictures are from my range at home. Rifle is a CZ American .22LR, Arken rings and SH-4 Gen III, 4-16 x 50 optic, CVLIFE bipod and a Marc Taylor bag. Likes Aguila Super Extra .22 LR (at least out to 100 yards)
This target is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! I tested 25 & 30 cal pre charged pneumatic airguns against it and the KYL target did a phenomenal job! Thank you very much for such a well thought out and constructed target system folks! If your interested in getting on... DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET 1 TODAY! It will last you the rest of your life!
The KYL rimfire target system was fun to assemble, and even more fun to shoot at. The included instructions are well done and easy to follow. The targets react well to subsonic 22 long rifle bullets. Thank you Shooting Targets 7 for a great product. I hope to enjoy it for years to come. Rob
Due to the weather being horrible here lately, I stored this under my lean too and after today’s shooting I took this pic to send to a couple of my friends to show them. I was working in this KYL target at 50 yards. This thing is so much fun. My first seven shots were all hits until I got to that tiny little one on the end, then it took me five shots to hit it. I had a plywood back stop so I could see where I was missing just barely and when I finally figured out exactly where to hold it, I could hit the tiny one every couple of shots so I went back-and-forth a few times then I came up with a cheat instead of starting big and going little go little to big cause then you don’t start your string of eight until you hit the little one first lmao yeah I know that’s not the same but it’s good for the ego to go the other way cause you don’t hardly miss after you get the first one out of the way.
I started out shooting at the little sticker dots on a piece of drywall then went to the KYL target and I noticed after really having to focus on that quarter inch sliver at the end when I went back to the paper dots my groups were getting better cause I was really concentrating a lot more than I was at the beginning of the session. 100 rounds later I’m hooked gotta setup some more stuff to shoot at.
awesome target and its holding up great with my tack driver .17 wsm. its a great challenge with friends while also honing in on precision shooting. thanks again!
Arm is in a sling...cant wait to hammer on these...Definitely will improve shooting..AIM LARGE. MISS LARGE.....AIM SMALL $$$$$
LOVE EM Get yourself a couple sets ..we have both rimfire and centerfire. Great company.
