Additional Information

Probably the most recognized tank ever built, the Tiger I has come to symbolize German armor, shock, and firepower. It was truly intimidating. Ordered into production in August 1942, this tank was a clear response to formidable Russian armor the T34 encountered on the Eastern front. With a five man crew surrounded by a massive 60.7 tons of armor, the Tiger I, with its 88mm gun, was fearsome in capability. Total production was 1,354 through August 1944. Its Maybach V12 gasoline engine developed 700hp power to weight ratio of 12hp per ton for a road speed of 23mph 12mph cross country and a limited range of 62 miles. Thick armor and the high velocity 88mm gun enabled the Tiger I to destroy enemy armor at long range. Russian T34s and Allied Shermans had to rapidly close the range and outmaneuver the Tiger in order to destroy it. The Tiger was supreme when used in ambush, as evidenced at Villers-Bocage, France, on 13 June 1944. Here, during the Battle of Normandy, a single Tiger commanded by Waffen SS tank ace Michael Wittmann easily destroyed over two dozen British armored vehicles and blunted a major British offensive. All of our targets are made of the highest quality steel that survives the elements. They’ll last through rain storms, high temperatures, multiple coats of paint, and just about every caliber you can aim at them. Salute Targets immediately confirm your increasing speed and accuracy with the bullet’s plinking sound against the metal, to give you instant satisfaction and assessment of your performance. They are designed for protection and safety, built with angles that deflect bullet fragments to the ground or side, and not towards the shooter.
