BIRCHWOOD CASEY · BC-TXSPT · TEXAS STAR
Train dynamic target transitions – with five plates and constantly changing imbalance
Five drop-off 6-inch plates sit on a rotating star. Each hit changes balance, rotation direction, and speed – so sight tracking, target confirmation, and trigger control must constantly realign.
Only on approved ranges



Black-Raptor-Classification
A demanding training target for approved shooting ranges and clearly defined procedures. The training value lies in controlled target transitions, not in shooting as fast as possible without confirmed safe conditions.


Fits your setup?


Fits well For approved steel target areas with suitable bullet traps, mandatory ammunition and distance rules, and instructors or experienced users who train dynamic transitions in a structured way.

Fits less well For private or non-approved areas, unclear minimum distance, steel-damaging bullets, or if a light, self-resetting target is expected.



Features that matter in everyday use


Five changing targets Five round 6-inch plates fall individually and change the movement after each hit.

AR500 plates 3/8 inch thick impact plates; material quality does not replace approval for arbitrary
e Ammunition.

Rotating Unit Two lubricatable industrial bearings support the movement of the star.

Disassemblable Design Facilitates transport and storage, but with around 25.2 kg shipping weight it’s no lightweight.



Limits and Avoiding Bad Purchases
Range clearance, specific ammunition, impact velocity, minimum distance, and shooting angle must be definitively established before use. Hard core, armor-piercing, incendiary, or other steel-damaging projectiles are unsuitable. Plates with craters, cracks, significant deformation, or damaged mounts must be taken out of service immediately.


Technical Data with Practical Consequences


Target Plates 5 × 6 inch, 3/8 inch thick Practical consequence: small moving hit areas require confirmed target acquisition.

Material AR500 steel Practical consequence: for reusable targets, but only within the approved operating window.

Total Height approx. 4 feet / 1.22 m Practical consequence: requires a level, stable stand and clear target area.

Bearings 2 lubricatable industrial bearings Practical consequence: regular inspection and lubrication maintain movement.



Scope of Delivery


1 × disassemblable Texas-Star target system BC-TXSPT
5 × 6-inch target plate
Stand and rotating bearing unit

Not included: ammunition, tools, lubricants, replacement plates, and personal protective equipment.



Use, Maintenance, and Safety
Before setup, check stand, axle, bearings, mounts, and plates. Assemble on level ground according to manufacturer instructions and secure against tipping. Eye and ear protection for all persons in the danger area; keep unauthorized persons away. To reset, fully cease fire, secure the stand, and only then insert plates. Store dry and lubricate bearings as specified.


Frequently Asked Questions
Do the plates reset automatically? No. Knocked-down plates are manually reset during fully secured shooting operation. Can any ammunition be used? No. Clearance, distance, impact velocity, and angle must match the specific combination. Is AR500 equivalent to rebound-proof? No. Material quality does not replace safe setup or distance and ammunition rules. What happens when hit? The falling plate changes the imbalance; direction and speed of the star can change. Can a damaged plate still be used? No. Craters, cracks, or deformations increase risks of splinters and rebounds. Is the target suitable for beginners? Only if introduced slowly, under clear instruction, and with safe abort criteria.


Clear Purchase Decision: A strong dynamic training system if range, ammunition, distance, and reset procedures are unequivocally regulated; without these clearances, not a suitable purchase.
