Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers are safe to use with this AR500 steel gong?
This target is rated for centerfire handgun and rifle calibers when used at appropriate distances. As a general guideline, handguns should be fired from at least 10 yards and rifles from at least 100 yards. Avoid using steel-core or armor-piercing ammunition, as these can damage the target and create unsafe ricochets. Always consult the manufacturer's recommended usage guidelines for your specific caliber.
How do I hang or mount this gong target?
The two pre-drilled mounting holes make it easy to hang this gong from a T-post, target stand, or chain system. Using heavy-duty chain or grade-70 transport chain is recommended, as it allows the target to swing freely on impact — reducing stress on the steel and extending the target's lifespan. Angle the target slightly downward to direct splatter safely toward the ground.
How long will this AR500 steel target last?
AR500 steel is one of the hardest and most abrasion-resistant materials used in shooting targets, rated at 500 Brinell hardness. When used with appropriate calibers at safe distances, this Birchwood Casey gong can withstand thousands of rounds before showing significant wear. Proper hanging technique and avoiding magnum rifle calibers at close range will maximize the target's service life.
