Caldwell Steel Gong Target

This target is made from AR500 steel and is rated for impact velocities up to 3000 fps and energy levels up to 3500 ft-lb. It is designed for standard rifle and handgun calibers within those limits, but you should avoid using armor-piercing or steel-core ammunition, which can damage the target surface.

No, this product is the gong target plate only. You will need to provide your own stand, chains, or mounting hardware to hang it.

The gong-style design is engineered to swing and produce a distinct, audible ring upon impact. Additionally, the high-visibility finish makes it easier to spot your hits through optics or spotting scopes.

While the target is built from durable AR500 steel, it is not rust-proof. Leaving it exposed to the elements will eventually lead to oxidation, so it is best to store it in a dry place when not in use to maintain its longevity.

For safety and to prevent excessive wear, always follow standard range safety protocols. Generally, for rifle calibers, a minimum distance of 100 yards is recommended to avoid bullet fragmentation issues, while handgun calibers can typically be used at closer ranges of 10-15 yards.
