Description
The Birchwood Casey 4" Two-Hole Gong is a small, satisfying target that punches above its size. At just 4 inches across, it forces you to tighten up your groups, and when you connect you get that unmistakable ring and swing that tells you exactly where your shot landed. No walking downrange to check paper, no guessing. Just aim, fire, and listen.
What Makes This Two-Hole Gong Worth Hanging
The plate is cut from 3/8" AR500 steel, the abrasion-resistant, heat-treated material that has become the standard for reactive targets. It holds up to thousands of rounds from centerfire handguns and rifles without cratering or deforming, so you are looking at years of use rather than a one-season throwaway. The two mounting holes are the real convenience here. You can rig it up with hanging chains, a bolt-and-hook style gong hanger, or whatever setup you already run, and the double-hole design keeps the target hanging steady and swinging predictably when hit.
Setting Up Your 4-Inch AR500 Gong
Think of this one as a building block. Because it hangs from standard hardware, you can run a single plate for pistol practice or string up several sizes and distances to build your own steel course in the backyard or at the range. A downward-angled hang helps direct splatter into the dirt, which is smart practice with any steel target. Keep it at safe distances, a minimum of about 25 yards for handguns and farther back for rifles, and you will get clean, reliable reactions shot after shot.
Birchwood Casey has been making shooting and gun care gear since 1948, and the World of Targets line is their bread and butter for reactive steel. This 4-inch gong is a great pick for building or expanding a steel setup, whether you are dialing in a new pistol or training for speed and accuracy on a smaller aiming point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I shoot at this 4-inch gong target?
The gong is rated for centerfire handguns and centerfire rifles thanks to its 3/8" AR500 construction. Keep handguns at a minimum of around 25 yards and back rifles off farther for safe splatter deflection. It is not meant for BBs, pellets, or airsoft.
How does the two-hole design mount up?
The two mounting holes let you hang the gong with chains, a bolt-and-hook gong hanger, or other standard hardware. The double-hole setup keeps the plate hanging steady and swinging predictably when you hit it. Mounting hardware and hangers are sold separately if you do not already have a setup.
Will 3/8" AR500 steel hold up to heavy use?
AR500 is a heat-treated, abrasion-resistant steel built specifically for reactive targets, and the 3/8" thickness handles thousands of rounds without deforming. As long as you stay at recommended distances and avoid steel-core or armor-piercing rounds, this gong will give you years of service.
Can I combine this with other targets to build a range?
Absolutely. Because it hangs from standard hardware, this 4-inch gong works great as one piece of a larger steel setup. Many folks run several sizes at varying distances to create their own reactive course for pistol and rifle practice.
