If you’ve shot any of our gravity moving targets, you know how much fun they can be. These designs were primarily used in competition but are now frequently utilized by instructors for firearms training and they are often the centerpiece of our customer’s private shooting ranges.
Rest assured, the new SUPERNOVA STAR will elevate your skills to the next level. With four independently rotating axes, it’s impossible to predict the path of these targets. The 8″ plates are held in place with the same spring retention system used on our other top selling Texas Star targets. When shot, the plates are released from the retention pocket and fall to the ground. The change in weight distribution causes the crossbar and plates to rotate. The precision machined shaft and pillow bearings maximize the speed and change of direction with each successful shot on the plates.
By adding the optional Spindle Lock Kit, you’ll be able to independently lock each of the four spindles. This is a must-have feature for newer shooters who might otherwise be intimidated by this target. This option is also great for match directors who are looking to create new and interesting stage designs!
After initial assembly, the Supernova is transported in five sections with the heaviest component weighing only 49 lbs. The target can be set-up by one person in about 5 minutes and requires only four bolts to complete the assembly in the field. 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 9 plates plates in about 90 seconds.

Hello, my name is Mark and I have a small pistol range out in my pasture. Up until I purchased a SuperNova and a Dueling tree, me and my wife (and friends) were relegated to paper targets. Not much fun in that! Once we got our Challenge Targets we spend much more time at the range and is a hit with our shooting friends. We have done some night shooting with targets lit up by halogen lighting and then relaxing by a near-by fire pit with camp fire. Everyone is impressed with the quality of these two products and the ease of maintaining (simply spray paint and away we go!!).

I have bought several products from Challenge Targets, but this is the one we shoot the most. We have spent entire days and lots of ammo shooting at this. There are so many ways to make fun “games” that we can play. Start from the top and work you way down for a ‘fast’ score, start shooting the targets at the bottom first to make it more challenging. I painted one side of our targets white, and the other side red. I’ll set them all up as white first, then we’ll pick a few to flip around and the red is a “don’t shoot” to add another level of challenge. I also recommend grabbing some rimfire plates. We shoot at ours so often with friends and family that having a cheaper ammunition option to shoot with is nice! (and the kids want to get in on the shooting too 🙂

Simply fantastic. Just for fun, we painted the plates with fluorescent paint and put up some black light floodlights up. Wow!! Good times. The Texas star and the supernova have the same height center axis so we can line them up and create shoot, no shoot plates that move in different directions. Good times !!

This is a very well thought out target and fun to shoot. These targets also come very well packed in several boxes. These are very well made and will last a lifetime.
Thanks,
