The Caldwell 1140016 AR500 steel gong target stand combo brings everything you need for productive range sessions in one compact package. Built around a rugged 8-inch AR500 steel gong, this all-in-one system pairs a durable target with a collapsible steel stand and XL strap hangers, so you can set up quickly and focus on marksmanship.
