Birchwood Bc-Rnd15-38 Centerfire Target 3/8" Ar500 Steel "15 Round Gong

The Birchwood Casey 3/8" AR500 steel round gong target is built for shooters who want reliable, repeatable feedback downrange. Crafted from 3/8-inch AR500 steel with a durable white powder-coat finish, this 15-round target delivers that unmistakable clang on every solid hit—whether you're running defensive drills, dialing in a new rifle, or just enjoying time at your own range. The bright white coating ensures you can see your impact zones clearly, even at distance.

AR500 steel targets are popular with centerfire rifle and pistol shooters because they hold up to repeated impacts and don't require constant replacement like paper or reactive targets. This one's designed for straightforward setup: square mounting holes accept standard carriage bolts (sold separately) so you can hang it on a frame, pole, or backer system. Because steel rounds speak for themselves, you'll know immediately whether you're on target or need to adjust.

Whether you're building a personal training range, practicing competition scenarios, or teaching someone to shoot, a durable steel gong keeps your focus on marksmanship, not target maintenance. The 3/8-inch thickness handles the job without requiring a industrial-grade setup—just solid, functional steel that works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers can I safely shoot at this steel target?

This target is rated for centerfire rifle and pistol use. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and maintain appropriate distance based on your specific caliber and ammunition type to avoid ricochets or splash-back.

How do I mount this gong target?

The square mounting holes are designed for standard carriage bolts (not included). You'll need to attach it to a frame, steel pipe, or dedicated target stand using bolts sized to fit those square holes.

Will the white coating wear off quickly?

The white powder-coat is applied for visibility and durability, but any coating will eventually wear from repeated impacts and weather exposure. The steel itself is unaffected and will continue to function—you simply may lose some of the visibility benefit over time depending on usage intensity.

Is this target portable?

Once mounted, the gong itself is a fixed component, though it can be removed from its mounting system and relocated. You'll need to bring or set up a mounting frame at your range location.
