Frequently Asked Questions
What size lumber does this stand require?
This stand is specifically designed to fit a standard 2x4 board, which you source locally. Simply cut your 2x4 to your desired height, slide the stand bracket onto the board, and hang your gong target — no special tools or hardware required. Using common lumber keeps costs low and replacement simple if a board gets damaged downrange.
What gong targets are compatible with this stand?
The Birchwood Casey Gong Stand is designed to work with Birchwood Casey's own AR500 steel gong targets and is generally compatible with most standard hanging-style steel gongs from other manufacturers. For best results and safe swinging action, use AR500-rated steel gongs rated for your caliber and distance. Always confirm the target's minimum safe shooting distance before use.
Can this stand handle centerfire rifle calibers?
The stand itself is built from heavy-duty steel to hold up to repeated use, but the critical rating is on the steel gong target you attach to it. Always use AR500 or harder-rated steel gong targets when shooting centerfire rifle calibers, and observe the manufacturer's minimum safe engagement distances — typically 100 yards or more for rifle. For pistol calibers, 25 yards or more is commonly recommended. Never shoot at targets that are pitted, cracked, or show significant damage.
