Description

The AR500 Round Gong Target delivers repeatable, audible feedback and long-lasting performance. Cut from 3/8″ AR500 steel on a precision CNC laser, each plate maintains steel hardness and edge integrity better than plasma-cut alternatives—ensuring extended life even during high-volume shooting sessions.

Caliber Ratings and Distances

• Rifles (short action): Up to .308 Win / 6.5 Creedmoor — 100+ yards

• Handguns: All common pistol cartridges — 10+ yards

• High-velocity rifle rounds (>2,800 fps): Increase distance to 200+ yards to avoid surface damage

Mounting and Compatibility
Each gong includes 1/2″ pre-drilled mounting holes for secure attachment. Use Grade 5 or higher hardware with a T-post hanger, 2×4 static hanger, conduit stand, or speed rack system for a stable and portable setup.

Size Options
Available in 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″, and 16″ diameters to match your training needs—smaller plates for precision practice, larger sizes for extended-range hits. Made in the USA and ships unpainted.

Recommended Accessories
Pairs perfectly with the Rigid Conduit Gong Stand and Gong Target Mounting Kit for larger plates. For a quick setup, use two T-posts with chain and our T-Post Gong Hangers (set of two).
