The EZ-Aim Hardrock 12" AR500 steel gong target is a durable, reactive shooting target built for serious range work and hunting rifle practice. Made from AR500 armorplate steel at 3/8" thickness, this gong delivers audible and visual feedback with each shot—a satisfying ding that tells you instantly whether you've hit your mark. The multi-color powdercoat finish (available in black, green, or white options) helps you see bullet impacts clearly downrange, making it easier to dial in your rifle or refine your marksmanship without walking up after every shot.
This target is engineered to handle centerfire rifle rounds and handgun calibers alike, so whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle before the season or running drills at the range, the Hardrock gong won't let you down. The 12" diameter gives you a moderately sized aim point—reactive enough to shoot, but substantial enough to develop real accuracy. Three mounting points—two edge connections for chain or strap hanging and one center hole for gong hook attachment—let you rig it however your range setup demands. That flexibility is the whole idea behind the EZ-Aim Custom Target System: components that work together, allowing you to build a shooting gallery that grows with your needs.
If you're tired of paper-only ranges or hunting blindly through ammunition wondering where you're actually printing, a reactive steel gong target transforms practice into focused skill-building. The instant feedback loop keeps you honest and sharp. Pair this gong with other EZ-Aim components to create a mixed-target setup that handles rimfire, handgun, rifle, and shotgun disciplines all in one session—exactly what working shooters need.
