Bc Ar500 3/8 Gong Hanger Kit 8 And 10

The Birchwood Casey AR500 3/8 Gong Hanger Kit gives you a durable, affordable setup for steel target shooting at the range or on your property. This kit includes two laser-cut AR500 steel gongs—one 8-inch and one 10-inch—mounted on a hanger system designed to handle serious shooting volume. AR500 steel is a proven choice for shooters who want targets that ring true, last through thousands of rounds, and won't crater or deform under repeated impact.

The 3/8-inch thickness and precision laser-cut edges mean you get a smooth, burr-free surface that's safer to handle and more forgiving on ammunition. The bright white powder coat finish makes bullet holes and impacts easy to spot from downrange, so you can dial in your shots without walking up to verify hits every time. Whether you're zeroing a rifle, working on accuracy drills, or just running rounds downrange with friends, these gongs give you audible feedback and consistent performance.

Built to absorb impacts up to 3000 foot-pounds of bullet energy, this kit is rated for centerfire rifle and pistol use. The hanger design keeps targets portable and quick to set up, so you spend less time fiddling and more time shooting. Birchwood Casey has been making targets for shooters of all levels for decades—this kit reflects that heritage of straightforward, no-nonsense gear.

Why choose AR500 steel over other target materials?
