Perfect for tactical training, competitive practice, or recreational shooting, these 12” AR500 steel targets are designed to withstand high-impact shots from a wide range of calibers.

Safety and Maintenance Tips:
- Safe Shooting Distance: For pistols, maintain at least 15 yards of distance; for rifles, 100 yards is recommended, longer distance encouraged for larger rounds than .223/.556.
- Cleaning and Care: After extended use, most lead and bullet fragments have bounced off the target into the surface below. Just repaint.
- Repainting: To keep visual markers clear, repaint the target periodically with target-specific paint. Use any spray paint for metal. Re order Target stencils for stop and RR crossing as needed.
- Routine Inspection: Before each use, inspect the target for any signs of wear. Small dents and slight fractures are fine. If you see a lot of those perhaps consider extending the distance you shoot from or use a lower velocity round.

Reverberating Sounds Out To 1000 yards
For over 20 years we have been shooting gongs, but the ability to see where you've hit, or if you've hit the gong at distance, was sometimes very difficult. We have been tinkering with the idea of an easily heard gong that can produce a resonance at distances of 1000 yards or more with our Walker ear muffs on.
We have tried all kinds of metals and finally settled on premium grade 1/4" AR500 to offer the greatest size with the lowest weight and highest level of sound and echo.
Provides instant feedback by allowing increased acoustically reverberating sounds
It's a perfect gong for those wanting to shoot long distance shots. This gong offers you the ability to both see and hear when your shot hits.
When hit, the paint pops off and you hear the reverberation of the gong.Its a wonderful training tool to quickly allow beginner's to see and hear their shots and get instant gratification providing a wonderful shooting experience.
