Big Dog Steel is proud to unveil the trophies for the 2026 K&M Kahles Precision Rifle Competition. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ”„

K&M has built a reputation for hosting one of the most professional and efficient championship-style precision rifle matches in the nation. Competitors can expect a high-tempo format with minimal downtime between stages, pushing shooters to stay focused, adaptable, and efficient from start to finish. The course of fire is designed to test and train skills pulled from law enforcement, military, and practical marksman disciplines ā€” and thereā€™s simply no other facility in the country capable of supporting a match experience quite like K&M.

For this yearā€™s trophies, we kept the design classic and bold, featuring the iconic Kahles orange and white color scheme throughout the build. Clean lines, precision-cut steel, and a timeless championship look worthy of one of the premier precision rifle events in the country.

Weā€™re honored to be part of this event and canā€™t wait to see these trophies handed out to some of the best shooters in the sport.

Introducing the official 2026 Magnolia Mayhem trophy šŸŒøšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Built by Big Dog Steel, this yearā€™s design brings together precision and patriotism. At the center, a bold magnolia flower crafted from IPSC targetsā€”paying tribute to Mississippi roots and the spirit of competition. Wrapped in a red, white, and blue theme, these trophies stand for more than just placementā€”they represent grit, skill, and earned respect.

Magnolia Mayhem is a USPRA qualifier and will be held at Gunline in Carthage, Mississippi. If youā€™re chasing points, pushing limits, or just showing up to compete with the bestā€”this is one you donā€™t want to miss.

Earn it. šŸ†

Weā€™re proud and honored to play a small part in the International Sniper Competition happening right now at Fort Benning, GA šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

The trophies we were asked to create turned out fantastic, and we hope the competitors can seeā€”and appreciateā€”the craftsmanship and effort that went into every piece.

The red, black, and white color scheme pairs perfectly with the Army Sniper Association logo, making these awards as bold and sharp as the competition itself.

Best of luck to all the competitors, and thank you for letting Big Dog Steel be part of something this special.

Big Dog Steel just wrapped up a custom trophy design for the National Rifle League ā€“ NRL Hunter Mossy Pond Mow Down šŸ¦†šŸ”„

These hunter-inspired trophies feature the iconic smoking duck logo, brought to life with hand-painted accents and a bold orange & black color scheme built to stand out on any shelf.

The Mossy Pond Mow Down delivers the full NRL Hunter experience in the flat pine country of South Georgia ā€” combining technical marksmanship with the physical grind of long walks between stages across open, rolling terrain. Expect expansive sightlines, subtle elevation shifts, and serious distance between stagesā€¦ a true test of endurance, efficiency, and precision in the field.

With top-tier on-site accommodations for both competitors and families, this match continues to be a standout stop on the NRL Hunter calendar.

Proud to be part of this incredible event. See you on the range.

Did you hear that we are no longer manufacturing AR500 steel targets?
Don't worry.
We aren't quitting, we're UPGRADING!
Now all of our targets will be made from SR500 Steel. It has a better chemical compostion and will allow us to create targets that resist damage better, last longer, and save you money.

SAME GREAT TARGETS, EVEN BETTER VALUE

Proud to be part of something bigger with a fresh set of custom trophies for The Blast 2026 šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ”„

This design hits hard ā€” a striking American flag brought to life with desert tan and OD green, blending patriotism with that rugged, field-ready look. Built tough, clean, and worthy of the shooters who show up ready to perform.

Set at the beautiful Flint Oak Hunting Lodge, this match is anything but ordinary. With 5 rifle classes and clay targets at 4 distances, itā€™s a throwback to the legendary VHA Jamboree style of shootingā€”fast-paced, challenging, and a whole lot of fun.

Even betterā€”this match is about more than competition. ALL proceeds go to two incredible organizations:
šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø Tunnel to Towers Foundation
šŸŽ Freedom Hooves Therapeutic Riding Center

Last year alone, each received $10,000ā€”and 2026 is set to raise even more.

With 120 returning shooters and only a handful of spots left, this one is shaping up to be something special. Huge thanks to the organizers for trusting Big Dog Steel to build trophies that match the mission.

We canā€™t wait to see who earns them. šŸ’Ŗ

Proud to roll out another custom trophy packageā€”this time for the Foundation Hybrid Hunter with SilencerCo as the title sponsor. šŸ”„

These trophies bring a whole different vibeā€”finished in a rugged metallic bronze and tan with brass hardware that hits just right. Clean, durable, and built to match the grit of a true hybrid hunter match.

Set at the Foundation Training Range, competitors are stepping into a course that blends wooded terrain and open lanes, with a mix of organic field positions and purpose-built stages. Itā€™s the kind of match that tests not just your rifle skillsā€”but your adaptability in real hunting scenarios.

Big thanks to Foundation Stocks and SilencerCo for trusting Big Dog Steel to build trophies worthy of the challenge.

Weā€™re looking forward to seeing who rises to the top and takes these home. šŸ’Ŗ

Proud to ship out a brand-new custom trophy design for the Hornady Husker Hunter! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ¦Œ

This one turned out extra special ā€” layered red, white, and black steel, a bold deer skull centerpiece, and the unmistakable Nebraska state outline bringing it all together. Clean lines, aggressive contrast, and built to honor the grind it takes to earn a spot on the podium.

Huge thanks to NRL Hunter for trusting Big Dog Steel to build hardware worthy of the best hunters and precision rifle shooters in the country.

Good luck to all competitors ā€” we canā€™t wait to see who takes these home. šŸ’ŖšŸ”„

In the 17 years weā€™ve been in business, not much surprises us anymoreā€”but this one did.

Recently, an existing customer sent us a social media post from a range weā€™ve done thousands of dollars in business with over the years. That post tagged a competitor of Big Dog Steel, showcasing our patented Twist-Lock target system being produced by someone else.

Let that sink in.

Weā€™re not sure how this came about, but itā€™s extremely disappointing. Weā€™ve invested years of blood, sweat, and hard-earned capital into designing, refining, and legally patenting our productsā€”only to see a competitor blatantly copy our work and a long-time client publicly promote it.

Originality matters. Integrity matters.

After looking through this competitorā€™s website, itā€™s hard to ignore how many of their products closely resemble watered-down versions of designs weā€™ve developed over the years. At some point, itā€™s no longer coincidenceā€”itā€™s imitation.

Come up with your own ideas. Do the work. Build something original instead of leeching off companies that actually innovate.

Weā€™re proud of what weā€™ve built, we stand behind our patents, and weā€™re beyond tired of seeing this kind of behavior in an industry that should know better.
