Caldwell 1140016 AR500 Steel Target Gong 8" Yellow w/ Stand

The Caldwell 1140016 delivers precision target practice with an 8-inch AR500 steel gong that withstands thousands of rounds from common rifle and pistol calibers. This complete target system includes both the hardened steel gong and adjustable stand components for immediate range setup.

What Makes This Different

AR500 steel construction provides superior durability compared to mild steel targets that dent and crater after minimal use. The 3/8-inch thick hardened steel plate maintains its shape and acoustic feedback through extended shooting sessions. Yellow powder coating enhances visibility at distance while providing corrosion resistance for outdoor storage.

Key Features

• AR500 hardened steel construction rated for rifle calibers up to .308 Winchester
• 8-inch diameter provides clear target visibility from 100+ yards
• Bright yellow powder coat finish for enhanced target acquisition
• Includes adjustable target stand with XL strap hangers
• 3/8-inch steel thickness withstands repeated impacts without deformation
• Mounting holes accommodate standard chain or strap hanging systems
• Compatible with pistol calibers from .22 LR through .44 Magnum

The AR500 steel composition maintains structural integrity under impact stress that would destroy softer target materials. Shooters can engage this target with centerfire rifle rounds while maintaining safe distances of 100 yards or greater. The audible feedback confirms hits instantly, making it effective for precision training and competitive practice scenarios.
