The 1/2" AR500 Steel Target Gong Bundle gives you multiple steel shooting targets in one package for building a versatile pistol and rifle range. Choose a 3-target, 5-target or 6-target configuration with a mix of silhouette and round gong targets ranging from 4" rounds up to a 12"x20" silhouette. Every target is CNC laser-cut from domestic 1/2" AR500 steel and rated for centerfire handguns and rifle cartridges up to .338 Lapua Magnum when used at the specified minimum shooting distances. Made in the USA.
Mixing multiple target sizes gives you smaller aiming points for precision work, larger targets for increased visibility and multiple plates for transitions between shots. The targets ship unpainted without chain, stands or mounting hardware, allowing you to build the hanging setup that fits your range.

FAQs
Which bundle should I choose?
Choose the 3-target bundle for a compact setup with three different aiming areas. The 5-target bundle adds more round gong sizes for precision and transition drills. The 6-target bundle gives you the largest setup, including a 12"x20" silhouette and five round gongs ranging from 4" to 12".
What calibers are these targets rated for?
The 1/2" AR500 targets are rated for centerfire handguns and rifle cartridges up to .338 Lapua Magnum when used at the specified minimum shooting distances. Handguns require at least 10 yards. Rifles at or below 3,000 fps require at least 100 yards, while rifles above 3,000 fps require at least 200 yards. .338 Lapua Magnum requires a minimum of 200 yards.
Do the bundles include stands, chains or mounting hardware?
No. These bundles include the steel targets only. Chain, stands and mounting hardware are sold separately so you can build the target configuration that works for your range. Shop compatible stands and hangers and parts and accessories.
Why are multiple target sizes useful?
Different target sizes let you change the difficulty and visibility of your shooting setup without relying on a single strike-face size. Smaller gongs provide tighter aiming points, while larger gongs and silhouettes provide more visible targets for longer distances and faster transitions.
Does this bundle ship painted?
No. All Shoot Steel targets ship unpainted. Shoot Steel Target Paint can be used to improve visibility and make impacts easier to track.
Is this product made in the United States?
Yes. These targets are manufactured in the United States from domestic AR500 steel.
