Texas Stars

A Texas Star is five steel plates on the arms of a spinning hub. Shoot one plate off and the star goes out of balance and starts to turn; every plate after that is a moving target. It is the standard moving-steel stage in USPSA and 3-Gun, and the best single purchase for a range that wants a stage shooters come back for.

We sell Challenge Targets’ commercial-grade stars with 3/8" AR500 plates, their portable model that breaks down for a truck bed, the Supernova with 8" plates, and Top Tier Biz stars.

Which Texas Star do I need?

• Portable: a two-piece base and round plates; sets up in minutes, handgun rated from 10 yards.
• Commercial: a welded base and bearings built for daily range use.
• Rifle: only on a star rated for it. Challenge’s Commercial and Propeller stars take rifles from 100 yards, and Birchwood Casey rates its TXSPT for rifles too; the Supernova and portable stars are handgun and shotgun only, the rimfire star .22 only.
• How close can you shoot? Each maker’s minimum, from .22 to magnum rifle, in our steel target guide.

Stars ship freight. Ranges and clubs get quotes on multiples and replacement plates.
