EZ-Aim 15600 Hardrock10" AR500 Steel Gong Shooting Target .50" Thickness White / Yellow / Black

The EZ-Aim 15600 Hardrock 10" AR500 steel gong shooting target is a durable reactive target built for serious shooters who want audible, visual feedback on every shot. Made from 1/2-inch thick AR500 armorplate steel, this gong target withstands high-velocity rifle and handgun rounds, making it ideal for hunters zeroing rifles before season, competitive shooters dialing in loads, and range enthusiasts who demand targets that last. The white powdercoat finish highlights bullet impacts clearly, so you know exactly where you're connecting downrange.

This 10-inch diameter gong is designed to integrate into the EZ-Aim Custom Target Systems ecosystem, which lets you build a modular range setup that grows with your shooting. Three mounting points—two at the edge for chain or strap hanging and one center point for gong hook attachment—give you flexibility in how you set it up and move it around the range. Whether you're running a simple backyard setup or assembling a more elaborate shooting gallery, the Hardrock gong works alongside other EZ-Aim components so you can mix paper, steel, rimfire, and centerfire targets in a single session.

The AR500 construction means this isn't a target you'll need to replace after a few hundred rounds. Designed for both rifles and handguns, the Hardrock gong delivers that satisfying ring and movement that confirms your hits instantly—no walking downrange to check paper, no squinting at distant pasters. If you're serious about accuracy work, load development, or simply want a long-lived steel target that takes a beating, the EZ-Aim Hardrock earns its place on the stand.
