Birchwood Casey 8" Gong Two Hole 3/8" AR500 Steel Target – Pistol and Rifle

This 8-inch steel gong from Birchwood Casey is laser-cut from 3/8-inch AR500 hardened steel, designed to withstand repeated hits from centerfire pistol calibers and most rifle rounds when used at appropriate distances. The AR500 steel composition provides excellent durability and resists cratering and damage from impact. The two-hole mounting design allows for easy hanging on target stands or chains, and the circular gong produces a distinct ring on impact for immediate feedback.

The 8-inch diameter provides a challenging but achievable target for practicing accuracy at various distances. The two mounting holes are positioned for balanced swing and clear audible confirmation of hits. This gong is suitable for training drills, sight-in work, and recreational shooting sessions.
