The SME 80SHGNG self-healing polymer gong target is a rugged, reactive shooting target built for high-round-count practice with rifles and pistols. Unlike static paper or steel targets that require manual reset, this 8-inch gong target spins freely on its frame with each impact, giving you instant visual feedback and eliminating downtime between shots. The self-sealing polymer construction handles calibers from .22 up to .50, making it a versatile choice whether you're zeroing a rimfire or running magnum loads at the range.
Self-healing polymer targets occupy a sweet spot in shooting practice: they're more durable than reactive splatter targets and more convenient than traditional steel gongs that need maintenance or repositioning. The SME's compact, lightweight design makes it easy to transport to the range or set up at your property, and the advanced polymer material is engineered to absorb thousands of rounds without degrading performance. The gong spins rather than swings violently, reducing shock and wear on the mounting system while keeping the target in the plane of fire.
This is an excellent choice for pistol shooters training draw-to-target speed, rifle shooters working on follow-up shots, or anyone who wants immediate audible and visual confirmation of a hit. The self-healing aspect means you're not waiting for the target to "repair" between rounds—you're shooting continuously and building muscle memory faster.
