Description
Our GEN2 Portable Texas Star Target is lighter and more portable than the original version. We’ve also added a locking feature which prevents the hub from spinning so shooters can build their confidence before learning to engage moving targets. The 6″ plates are held in place with a unique spring retention system. When shot, the plates are released from the retention pocket and fall to the ground. The change in weight distribution causes the hub and plates to rotate. The precision machined shaft and dual pillow bearings maximize the speed and change of direction with each successful shot. Resetting the target is quick and simple. Just lift the spring and insert the stem of the plate into the pocket. One person can reset all five plates in about 20 seconds.
The 6″ round plates are perfect for USPSA and 3-gun practice. Once you get accustomed to shooting these reduced size plates, you’ll master the full size star in your next match!
The new Porta-Star target makes transportation, set-up and storage a breeze!
