EZ-Aim 15598 Hardrock8" AR500 Steel Gong Shooting Target .50" Thickness White / Yellow / Black

The EZ-Aim Hardrock 8" AR500 steel gong shooting target is a durable reactive steel target built to handle centerfire rifle and handgun rounds. Made from 1/2-inch-thick AR500 armor-grade steel with a white powdercoat finish, this 8-inch diameter gong gives you instant visual feedback on every shot and rings audibly when struck—perfect for precision work at the range or field testing before a hunt. Unlike paper or reactive splatter targets, steel gongs let you shoot repeatedly from the same setup without replacing targets, and the distinct ring adds satisfying confirmation to your marksmanship.

The Hardrock gong is part of the EZ-Aim Custom Target System (CTS), a modular approach that lets you build a complete shooting gallery to match your needs. Whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle, running drills with a handgun, or just putting rounds downrange, the gong integrates with other EZ-Aim components so your range setup grows as your interests do. The three attachment points—two edge connections for chains or straps, plus a center hook mount—give you flexible hanging options for different stand configurations and shooting angles.

The white finish makes bullet strikes easy to spot from downrange, so you can track groups and adjust your aim without walking up for every shot. At 1/2 inch thick, this target is engineered to absorb impact from rifles and handguns without deformation or degradation, meaning you get years of service from a single piece of steel. If you run a lot of ammo and want a target that pays for itself after a few trips to the range, a quality steel gong is the move.
