1/2" AR500 Steel Target Gong Bundle

The 1/2" AR500 Steel Gong Target System gives you a versatile, rifle-rated training setup designed for everything from close-range handgun work to long-distance precision rifle practice. Available in multiple configurations, you can choose the target set that best matches your training style, whether you want a compact drill-focused setup or a full multi-distance gong array.

Every target is CNC laser-cut from 1/2" AR500 steel to ensure consistent hardness, clean edges, and long service life under repeated impact. This material is designed to resist pitting and deformation when used at proper distances with centerfire handguns and rifles. The result is predictable splatter behavior, reliable feedback, and a longer-lasting target surface compared to lower-grade steel options.

Each configuration is built for practical field use, whether you are setting up a home range, running structured drills, or training for long-range accuracy. All targets are rated for handgun calibers and rifle cartridges up to .338 Lapua Magnum when used at recommended distances. This system is trusted by shooters who need durability and repeatable performance across a wide variety of shooting scenarios.

Safety and Usage

Minimum shooting distances:

• Handgun: 10 yards or greater
• Rifle at or below 3,000 fps muzzle velocity: 100 yards or greater; increase distance if pitting is observed
• Rifle above 3,000 fps muzzle velocity: 200 yards or greater; increase distance if pitting is observed
• .338 Lapua Magnum and similar cartridges: 200 yards or greater

Always shoot perpendicular to the target face. Use only quality eye and ear protection. Inspect all targets before use and replace any plate that shows cratering, severe pitting, or structural damage. Repaint regularly to maintain visibility and track impacts.

FAQs

What calibers are these targets rated for?
All centerfire handgun calibers at 10 yards minimum and rifle cartridges up to .338 Lapua Magnum at 200 yards minimum when used at proper distances.

Why are there multiple bundle options?
Different configurations allow you to tailor your range setup. Smaller bundles are ideal for focused drills and portability, while larger bundles provide a full spread of distances and target sizes for advanced training.

What is the benefit of CNC laser-cut steel?
Laser cutting minimizes the heat affected zone, preserving steel hardness at the edges. This improves durability and creates a cleaner, more consistent target surface compared to other cutting methods.

Do these targets ship painted?
No. All targets ship as bare steel. White and bright orange steel paint provide the best visibility downrange.

Is mounting hardware included?
No. Chain, quick links, and mounting hardware are not included, allowing you to customize your setup.

Is this product made in the United States?
Yes. All targets are manufactured in the United States from domestic AR500 steel.
