Birchwood Casey 4" AR500 Steel Gong Target with Two Holes - 3/8" Thick

The Birchwood Casey 4" AR500 Steel Gong Target is a durable, reactive steel target built for shooters who want reliable feedback at the range. This 3/8" thick AR500 steel gong hangs freely and rings audibly with each hit, making it ideal for centerfire rifle and handgun practice. Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, running drills, or just putting rounds downrange, a quality steel gong beats paper every time—no walking up to check groups, no reshaping or retaping between sessions.

The two-hole mounting design gives you flexibility in how you set it up, whether on a traditional stand, a frame, or a hanging system. AR500 steel is specifically engineered for ballistic impact and holds up to repeated centerfire rounds without cratering or degrading the way softer steel does. At 4 inches in diameter, it's large enough to be an easy visual and audible target at distance, yet compact enough to fit on most portable range setups or permanent bays.

Birchwood Casey targets are trusted by everyone from casual shooters to competitive marksmen, and for good reason: they're straightforward, well-made, and built to last. This gong works with both rifles and handguns, so you can get multiple uses out of a single target. If you're tired of paper targets and want something that talks back, this is a solid choice.
