Allen EZ Aim Hardrock Gong Shooting Target

This target is constructed from 1/2-inch thick AR500 steel, which is designed to handle most common centerfire rifle cartridges. However, always maintain a safe shooting distance—typically at least 100 yards for rifles—to prevent bullet fragmentation from rebounding toward the shooter.

Yes, the white finish is primarily for initial visibility. After repeated impacts, the paint will chip away, and you will need to touch it up with standard spray paint to keep the target easy to spot at long distances.

The target features three holes at the top, allowing you to hang it using chains, heavy-duty straps, or S-hooks. This mounting style lets the gong swing freely when struck, which helps dissipate energy and provides that distinct audible 'ping' sound.

While it is engineered for high-velocity rifles, it is perfectly safe for handguns as well. Just be aware that handgun rounds may not produce the same loud, resonant 'ping' as rifle rounds, and you should always follow standard safety distances for handgun steel target practice.

AR500 steel is incredibly durable, but it is not indestructible. Shooting at distances closer than the manufacturer's recommended minimum or using armor-piercing ammunition can cause pitting or cratering, which creates dangerous ricochet hazards.
