TacStrike hit a homerun with their Flat Rate Box Targets and the hits keep coming with the introduction of their Flat Rate Target Carrier (FRTC). The aptly named FRTC is a target carrier that can be shipped two to a USPS Flat Rate Box. The legs of the FRTC can be made from the scraps of the 1×2″ or 2×2″ lumber (not included) that you install for the uprights.
The FRTC is an important addition to the Flate Rate Box line because, as fun and productive as shooting steel can be, you have to break out the paper once in a while to stay honest. Steel gives immediate feedback and helps you keep a brisk pace on the training range but paper makes tracking the quality of your hits far easier. With the addition of the FRTC, TacStrike will now have a complete training target systems with components that are very affordable and can be shipped affordable.
Check out the FRTC at TacStrike.

Your postal carrier has always dreaded this day… TacStrike just released their Flat Rate Box (FRB) Targets. These targets are inexpensive, they ship cheap, and they come in multi-packs. It’s every mailman’s worst nightmare and every shooter’s dream come true.
TacStrike’s FRB Targets are steel training targets that are designed around the dimensions of small and medium USPS Flat Rate Shipping boxes. They have a bracket on the back that can be mounted a number of ways but is primarily designed to attach to inexpensive steel fence posts. TacStrike is able to offer the quality steel target they are known for but still keep the cost and shipping fees extremely low =since they don’t have to ship the target upright and the target fits in a Flat Rate Box. It’s genius.
The Small Flat Rate Target (SFRT) is 8″ x 5″ and ships for just $6. The Medium Flat Rate Target (MFRT) is 11″ x 13″ and ships for just $14.
The USPS is going to regret ever uttering the words, “If it fits, it ships!” Check out the new FRB Targets at TacStrike.
If you are looking for a deal on armor plates, Appalachian Training has you covered (that’s a little armor humor for you). They are selling the LTC Level IV Stand Alone Plates for just $149.95 each or as part of a very slick combo which saves you even more money.
The LTC Level IV Stand Alone Plate is a single curve, 10″ x 12″, shooters cut plate. They are .73″ thick and weigh 8.25 pounds each.
Appalachian Training has this to say about the plates:
This rig is fully capable for the occasional class, bail-out or truck rig, or any contingency that will require a limited use. While this is US made and quality, the design is not one that we would recommend for constant hard-use (LE, PMC, .mil). In our experience this design is a perfect balance for the US citizen that need an armor solution, but may not require the full features of a LWPC, LPAAC, or our APC.
This plate is also available as part of a combo that includes 2 plates, a Mission Spec EOC Carrier, and shoulder pads.
