The Birchwood Casey 10" square gong is a serious range steel that stands up to centerfire rifle fire day in and day out. Built from AR500 steel at 3/8" thick, this target is engineered to handle the punishment without warping, cracking, or piling up lead fragments the way softer steel does. If you're zeroing hunting rifles, running defensive drills, or putting in distance work on steel, a properly mounted gong like this one gives you honest feedback with every shot—that unmistakable ring tells you whether you connected or missed, no guessing required.
Birchwood Casey laser-cuts every target to precise dimensions, so edges come clean and burr-free straight out of the box. No rough edges to snag your hands or shoot into unpredictably. The bright white powder coat finish makes bullet holes impossible to miss at distance, and it's tough enough to hold up through hundreds of rounds. The square profile lets you mount this gong multiple ways depending on your range setup—whether you're hanging it from a stand, bolting it to a frame, or running it on a cable system.
This is the kind of target that rewards practice and holds up to it. Serious shooters and clubs favor AR500 steel gongs because they're predictable, durable, and safe when shot at appropriate distances with proper impact velocity. At 10 inches square, it's large enough to shoot from distance but small enough to set up in tight spaces or stack multiples for different drills.

AR500 steel at 3/8" thickness is rated to handle impacts up to 3000 ft-lbs of bullet energy. Safe shooting distance depends on your specific cartridge and load. Always consult ballistic data for your ammunition and follow range safety protocols. Never shoot steel closer than recommended for your caliber.
This target is designed with multiple mounting options. You can hang it from a stand, bolt it to a frame, or set it up on cable systems. Ensure whatever mounting method you choose allows the target to move and ring freely without binding, and always use proper safety hangers rated for the impact energy.
AR500 steel is extremely durable and will last for thousands of rounds when shot at appropriate distances and energy levels. Over extended periods of heavy use, you may see surface wear on the powder coat, but the steel itself should remain functional for years of range and hunting practice.
Yes. The 10" square gong and AR500 construction make it well-suited for zeroing and practice with centerfire hunting rifles. The bright white finish helps you spot hits easily from downrange, and the ring provides instant feedback on solid contact.
