There's nothing quite like the ring of steel to tell you a shot landed, and the Birchwood Casey World of Targets 6-inch Double-Hole Gong delivers that feedback every single time. Cut from 3/8-inch AR500 steel, this compact 6-inch gong is built to soak up thousands of rounds from centerfire handguns and rifles without giving up. The black and orange finish with a crosshair-and-diamond aiming reference gives you a clear point of focus, whether you're zeroing in with a pistol at closer range or reaching out with a rifle.
AR500 is the standard grade for shooting steel because it's abrasion resistant and heat treated to shrug off high-impact hits. The 3/8-inch thickness is the sweet spot for centerfire practice, tough enough for regular rifle and handgun work while staying light enough to pack in and out easily. A 6-inch plate is a satisfying but honest-sized target, big enough to ring reliably at pistol distance and small enough to make you earn your hits with a rifle at longer range.
The dual hang holes are the real convenience here. They let you rig the gong from chain, bolts, or a dedicated hanger like Birchwood Casey's 2-in-1 gong hanger, and running it off two points helps the plate hang steady and swing predictably when hit. For the safest and longest-lasting setup, angle the face a few degrees forward so fragmentation deflects down toward the ground. Many folks paint the face between sessions so hits show up clean, which turns any afternoon into an easy self-scoring range day.
Stick with copper-jacketed or plain lead ammo and mind your distances, generally around 10 yards or more for handguns and 100 yards or more for rifles, and this little gong will keep ringing for years.
This gong is rated for centerfire rifles and centerfire handguns. The 3/8-inch AR500 steel handles standard centerfire loads well, but you'll want to stick with copper-jacketed or plain lead ammo. Avoid steel core, green tip, or armor-piercing rounds, since those can damage the face and cause unpredictable splatter.
General guidance for AR500 steel is a minimum of about 10 to 15 yards for handguns and around 100 yards for rifles to keep ricochet and splatter risk low. Angling the target a few degrees forward also helps direct fragments down toward the ground. Always wear eye protection when shooting steel, and back up further for high-velocity or magnum loads.
No, the gong ships on its own as a single steel plate with two hang holes. You'll need to supply your own hardware, chain, or a dedicated hanger such as Birchwood Casey's 2-in-1 gong hanger. Hanging it from both holes helps the plate sit steady and swing predictably when hit.
The 6-inch size is a great all-around plate for handgun work and shorter rifle distances, and it makes you dial in your accuracy a little more than a big plate would. It's also lighter and easier to carry when you're setting up a portable range. If you want an easier target at long distance, a larger gong in the same World of Targets line gives you more surface to hit.
