The Birchwood Casey 10" round steel gong is one of those pieces of range gear that just makes a day of shooting more fun. Instead of walking downrange to check paper, you get that satisfying clang the second a round connects, so you always know where your shots are landing. It's cut from 3/8" AR500 plate, which is the hardened steel that stands up to repeated centerfire hits without cratering or denting like mild steel does.
This target is rated for centerfire handguns and rifles when used at proper distances. The general rule of thumb most ranges follow is a minimum of around 10 to 15 yards for standard handgun loads and at least 100 yards for centerfire rifle. The 3/8" thickness handles the common stuff well, think 9mm, .45 ACP, .223, and short-action rifle rounds, but it's smart to keep magnum handgun calibers and high-velocity rifle loads at a healthy distance to protect the plate face. Steer clear of steel-core, armor-piercing, and green-tip ammo, since that kind of round is what chews up hardened steel.
The 10" diameter gives you a generous, easy-to-see aiming surface, and the hi-vis white powder-coat finish stands out against just about any backdrop. When you repaint it between sessions, fresh hits show up as dark marks so you can track your groups. The plate hangs from a square-holed design that works with carriage bolts, letting you rig it to a chain, a hanger, or your own stand. Just note the mounting hardware and stand are sold separately, so you'll want to grab those if you're building a setup from scratch.
Birchwood Casey has been making range gear for decades and their World of Targets line has a solid reputation for durability. Angle the plate slightly downward when you hang it so splatter deflects toward the ground, wear your eye pro, and this gong will give you years of practice.
This 3/8" AR500 plate is rated for centerfire handguns and rifles when used at safe distances. It handles common rounds like 9mm, .45 ACP, .223, and short-action rifle cartridges well. Avoid steel-core, armor-piercing, and green-tip ammunition, since those will damage the hardened steel face.
The general guidance is a minimum of about 10 to 15 yards for standard handgun loads and at least 100 yards for centerfire rifle. Magnum handguns and high-velocity rifle rounds should be shot from farther out to keep the plate from pitting. Angle the target slightly downward so splatter deflects toward the ground, and always wear eye protection.
No, the target ships as a single steel plate on its own. The square mounting holes are designed to work with carriage bolts, but the bolts, chain, hanger, and stand are all sold separately. You'll want to pick up those pieces if you're setting up a range from scratch.
AR500 is hardened steel built specifically to take repeated centerfire impacts without denting or cratering the way mild steel does. As long as you keep proper distances, use the right ammo, and hang it at a slight downward angle, this gong can give you years of use. Repaint it between sessions to keep tracking your hits.
