Birchwood Ar400 Base & Upright Holders For 2X4 Gong Stand

The Birchwood Ar400 Base & Upright Holders for 2x4 Gong Stand give you the foundation to build a modular steel target system that fits your range or backyard setup. Whether you're running a dedicated gong stand at a public range, setting up a portable system for a shooting event, or building a multi-target rig at home, these AR400 steel components handle the structural work while you decide how to arrange your targets. The universal design accommodates most steel gong targets between 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch thick, so you're not locked into a single brand or size.

The beauty of this approach is flexibility. The base and upright holders work with standard 2x4 lumber, meaning you can customize your stand height, spacing, and configuration without buying a pre-built system that forces you into one layout. Built from AR400 steel—a wear-resistant material that stands up to repeated impacts and outdoor conditions—these components are engineered to last through seasons of training and competition use. The whole system breaks down flat for transport, so you can move it between ranges or pack it for a trip without eating up truck bed space.

Birchwood Casey has been in the target game for decades, and this modular approach reflects what serious shooters actually want: a durable backbone you can build on, not a rigid one-size-fits-most stand. If you reload, handload for competition, or just want to dial in your own shooting setup, this is the real-world foundation that gets out of your way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gong targets will these holders fit?

The base and upright holders accommodate most steel gongs between 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch thick. If your gong falls within that range, these holders should secure it; if you're using a target outside those dimensions, verify the thickness before purchasing.

Can I use this stand for different shooting styles or distances?

Yes. Because the holders work with standard 2x4 lumber, you can build the stand to any height and spacing you need. Stack multiple uprights, adjust angles, or arrange multiple targets—the modular design adapts to how you want to shoot.

Is this easy to move or set up at different ranges?

The entire system disassembles flat, making it simple to transport in a truck or trailer. Assembly and breakdown are straightforward, so you can quickly set up at a new location without specialized tools or setup time.

What's the difference between these holders and a fixed gong stand?

These AR400 holders give you the durable, impact-resistant backbone of a quality stand, but let you customize everything else—height, number of targets, spacing, orientation. You're building your own rig, not buying a pre-built system.
