The EZ-Aim 15596 Hardrock delivers consistent target feedback with AR500 steel construction that withstands repeated impacts from centerfire rifles. This 4-inch gong target provides audible confirmation of hits while maintaining structural integrity through thousands of rounds.
What Makes This Different
AR500 steel offers superior hardness compared to mild steel targets that dent and crater after minimal use. The half-inch thickness provides the mass needed to absorb energy from high-velocity rounds while producing the distinctive ring shooters rely on for immediate feedback. This target maintains its shape and surface integrity where thinner alternatives fail after limited exposure.
Key Features
- AR500 steel construction rated for centerfire rifle cartridges up to 3,000 fps
- 0.5-inch thickness provides durability for extended shooting sessions
- 4-inch diameter offers challenging precision target for skill development
- Mounting hole accepts standard target hangers and chains
- Hardness rating of 500 BHN resists deformation from impact
- Smooth finish prevents bullet fragmentation and ricochets
- Compatible with pistol and rifle cartridges at appropriate distances
Range performance remains consistent across temperature variations and weather conditions. The steel composition maintains its acoustic properties in rain, snow, and extreme heat without warping or losing structural integrity. Minimum engagement distances of 100 yards for rifle cartridges and 10 yards for pistol cartridges ensure safe operation while maximizing target life.
