Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum safe shooting distance for this AR500 steel gong?
For handguns, a minimum distance of 10 yards is generally recommended, while centerfire rifles should be shot from at least 100 yards to prevent dangerous spall or bullet fragmentation from reaching the shooter. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and wear appropriate eye and ear protection when shooting steel targets.
What calibers are safe to use with this 3/8" AR500 gong?
This target is rated for most common centerfire handgun calibers such as 9mm, .45 ACP, and .357 Magnum, as well as many rifle calibers up to approximately .308 Winchester at appropriate distances. Avoid using steel-core, armor-piercing, or magnum rifle rounds exceeding the AR500 rating, as these can damage the target and create hazardous conditions.
How do I hang or mount this Birchwood Casey gong target?
The target features a single pre-drilled mounting hole at the top, making it easy to hang from a chain, rope, or a dedicated steel target stand. Hanging the target at a slight forward angle (approximately 20 degrees) helps direct spall downward toward the ground, improving safety and extending the life of the target.
