Overview
The Texas Star is a five-plate wheel that rotates on its hub. Knock one plate off and the weight distribution changes, the star spins, and the four remaining plates are somewhere else by the time the sights settle. It is the standard skill test at club matches for exactly that reason. Precision Targets ships the frame, reversible plates, and hardware with assembly instructions; reversing the plates when one face gets cratered roughly doubles their service life. The company rates the package for 9mm, .45 ACP, .223, .308, and .30-06, and offers 4, 6, and 8 inch plates. Smaller plates are dramatically harder, because a spinning 4-inch circle punishes anything but a clean break.
