AR500-grade steel provides the hardness needed to prevent pitting and deformation while producing a clear audible ring on impact for immediate feedback. The single centered mounting hole allows for simple hanging setups on chains or brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8-inch diameter offers a challenging yet achievable target size for accuracy work at pistol and intermediate rifle distances. Suspended targets like this gong naturally swing on impact, providing visual confirmation and resetting automatically for rapid-fire drills. The 3\/8-inch thickness is suitable for centerfire pistol rounds at 10+ yards and rifle rounds at 100+ yards, depending on caliber and velocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e AR500 hardened steel gong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single centered mounting hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Calibers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Centerfire pistol (10+ yards), centerfire rifle (100+ yards minimum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pistol 10+ yards, rifle 100+ yards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always maintain minimum safe distances based on caliber and velocity.
