Birchwood Casey BC-RND15-38 AR500 Steel 3/8" Target 15 Round Gong

The Birchwood Casey BC-RND15-38 delivers consistent reactive feedback for precision shooting practice with its hardened AR500 steel construction. This 15-round capacity gong target withstands repeated impacts from centerfire cartridges while providing audible confirmation of hits. Built from 3/8-inch thick AR500 steel, this target maintains structural integrity through thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

Unlike mild steel targets that dent and deform after minimal use, this AR500 steel gong maintains its shape and surface integrity through extended shooting sessions. The 3/8-inch thickness provides the optimal balance between durability and reactive movement, creating audible feedback without excessive swing that obscures follow-up shots. Standard mild steel targets require frequent replacement, while this hardened steel construction delivers consistent performance across multiple shooting disciplines.
