Maintenance Tips

Keep your PolyStrike targets performing at their best with a few simple maintenance habits. Proper care helps maximize target life and keeps your setup looking and performing like new.

Refresh Visibility with Spray Paint

After extended use, impacts may become harder to see. Apply a light coat of spray paint to refresh the target surface and improve shot visibility.

Spread Out Your Shots

Avoid repeatedly shooting the exact same location. Distributing impacts across the entire target surface helps extend target life and maintain overall durability.

Follow Recommended Shooting Distances

Always use the suggested minimum shooting distances for your firearm and caliber. Shooting too close may increase wear and reduce target lifespan.

Use Recommended Ammunition

Most common handgun and rifle calibers work great with PolyStrike targets. Specialty rounds or unsupported ammunition types may create additional wear.

Store Properly When Not in Use

PolyStrike targets are built for outdoor conditions, but storing them indoors or out of direct sunlight when not in use can help maintain appearance over time.

Check Mounting Hardware Regularly

If your target uses a stand or mounting system, periodically inspect hardware, straps, and mounting points to ensure everything remains secure.

Clean Off Dirt and Debris

Mud, dust, and heavy buildup can hide impacts and reduce visibility. A quick rinse or wipe-down keeps your target looking clean and ready for the next range day.

Avoid Unnecessary Stress

Do not bend, crush, or force targets into positions they were not designed for. Proper mounting and handling help maximize durability.

Shoot Safe

Always use proper firearm safety practices and a suitable backstop while using any target system.

Take care of your PolyStrike targets, and they'll be ready for thousands of rounds of training and range time.
