The Caldwell 1116700 AR500 Steel Gong Target delivers reliable reactive feedback for precision shooting practice. This 5-inch yellow target provides instant audible confirmation of hits while withstanding thousands of rounds from centerfire rifles and handguns.
What Makes This Different
Constructed from genuine AR500 armor-grade steel at 0.38 inches thick, this gong target exceeds standard mild steel targets in durability and longevity. The bright yellow powder coating enhances visibility at extended distances while providing corrosion resistance. Unlike thinner steel targets that crater and fail after limited use, this AR500 construction maintains its surface integrity through extended shooting sessions.Key Features
