EZ-Aim 15596 Hardrock4" AR500 Steel Gong Shooting Target .5" Thickness

The EZ-Aim Hardrock 4" AR500 Steel Gong Shooting Target is a durable steel reactive target built for serious shooters who want reliable feedback at the range or in the field. Made from half-inch-thick AR500 armorplate steel, this gong target handles the punishment of high-power rifle rounds and handgun fire without deformation or failure. The white powdercoat finish makes bullet impacts instantly visible, so you can adjust aim and track your shots without walking downrange.

This 4-inch gong works as part of Allen's modular EZ-Aim Custom Target System (CTS), meaning it pairs seamlessly with other target components—paper holders, rimfire targets, and additional gongs—to build a complete shooting gallery tailored to your needs. Whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle, running drills with a handgun, or setting up a backyard range, the Hardrock gong scales with your setup as you expand it. Three attachment points—two edge loops for chains or straps, plus a center gong hook—give you flexibility in how you mount and hang the target.

The combination of AR500 steel and half-inch thickness means this target forgives high-velocity rifle rounds that would destroy lighter steel or shatter cheaper targets. It's a one-time investment that pays for itself in ammunition you don't waste on unreliable feedback. If you reload, handload, or shoot frequently, a quality steel gong target cuts range costs and speeds up your training.
