EZ-Aim 15597 Hardrock AR500 Steel 6" Gong Target 0.5" Thick

The EZ-Aim 15597 Hardrock delivers consistent training results with AR500 steel construction that withstands repeated impacts from centerfire rifles. This 6-inch gong target provides clear audio feedback and visual confirmation for precision shooting practice at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

AR500 steel construction sets this target apart from mild steel alternatives that dent and crater after minimal use. The 0.5-inch thickness rating handles impacts from rifles up to .308 Winchester and 7.62x51 NATO when positioned at appropriate distances. The white, yellow, and black color scheme maximizes visibility across varying light conditions and backgrounds.

Key Features

• AR500 steel construction rated for centerfire rifle cartridges
• 0.5-inch thickness withstands repeated high-velocity impacts
• 6-inch diameter provides clear target acquisition at 100+ yards
• Tri-color finish enhances visibility in multiple lighting conditions
• Mounting holes accommodate standard target hangers and chains
• Smooth surface prevents bullet fragmentation and ricochet hazards
• Heat-treated steel maintains structural integrity through temperature cycles

Range performance remains consistent across thousands of rounds when proper shooting distances are maintained. Competition shooters rely on the immediate audible feedback for rapid target transitions during timed events. The hardened steel surface deflects bullets downward, reducing lead buildup compared to softer target materials. Weather exposure causes minimal degradation to the steel substrate or painted finish.
