The Caldwell Flash Bang Pro is a battery-powered hit indicator that mounts to AR500 steel and flashes 10 ultra-bright LEDs every time the plate takes a round. It's built for shooters who run steel at distances where the ring fades before it reaches the firing line, and for competitors who need to confirm hits without walking the line. Visual confirmation carries over a mile away, which makes it useful for both long-range practice and timed stages. If you're already shooting AR500 steel, this clips on and turns a quiet hit into an unmistakable flash.
The unit attaches to AR500 targets 5 inches and larger using hook and loop material, so it stays put without bolts or brackets. A multi-position switch lets the shooter pick a 1-second flash for competition, where a target may be engaged several times in quick succession, or a 6-second flash for long-range work where a longer strobe is easier to spot. Low-impact energy detection means it registers rimfire rounds and shots that arrive with reduced energy at extended distance, not just heavy centerfire impacts. It runs on 3 AA batteries (included), measures 3.75 by 2 by 6.25 inches, and is built from durable composite. Per manufacturer specifications, the housing is rated for over 30,000 impacts.
Use the Flash Bang Pro on a steel rack for precision rifle practice, set it up for rimfire plinking with younger shooters who benefit from clear feedback, or run it during timed steel stages where a missed audible ring costs time. The 6-second mode shines past 500 yards where mirage and distance swallow the usual sights and sounds of a hit. Pair it with the right plate from our target lineup or build out a full steel setup with a dueling tree for reactive practice. Browse our target accessories to round out the rig.
It uses hook and loop material to mount to AR500 steel targets 5 inches and larger. No bolts or brackets are required, so it stays in place during shooting and comes off easily when you're done.
A multi-position switch sets the flash duration. The 1-second mode suits competition, where a target may be hit several times in quick succession. The 6-second mode is for long-range use, where the longer strobe is easier to pick up at distance.
