Champion Centerfire Hanging Gong Target Steel

The Champion Centerfire Hanging Gong Target Steel delivers the immediate, satisfying feedback every shooter craves at the range. This 9.5-inch steel plate hangs from a sturdy stand with swiveling support arms, letting you set up a reactive target system that works for pistol and rifle shooters alike. The centerfire-rated construction handles the abuse of centerfire ammunition across multiple calibers, so you're not constantly replacing targets—just hanging fresh ones when the time comes.

Steel gongs are a staple of serious shooting because they tell you immediately whether you hit or missed. No walking downrange to check paper, no squinting at tiny holes. Ring or miss is instant feedback you can hear from behind your gun, which means more efficient practice sessions and faster skill development. Whether you're working on precision rifle fundamentals, testing handloads, or pushing your long-range skills, a quality steel target that rings true keeps your focus on marksmanship.

The swiveling stand design keeps the target stable and allows you to angle the gong slightly if needed, reducing splashback and managing bullet strike angle for safety. The 1/2-inch steel plate thickness is engineered to absorb repeated impacts without cratering, pitting, or failing prematurely—critical for a target you'll use hundreds of times. If you're building a permanent or semi-permanent range setup, or you just want dependable feedback faster than paper, this is the kind of target that pays for itself in efficient practice.
