Birchwood Casey 10" Gong One Hole 3/8" Ar500 Stl

The Birchwood Casey 10" Gong One Hole 3/8" AR500 Steel target is a centerfire rifle and handgun-compatible reactive steel gong designed for precision shooters, law enforcement trainers, and competitive marksmen. Built from half-inch AR500 steel, this 10-inch diameter gong delivers audible and visual feedback on every impact, making it an essential tool for range diagnostics, shot placement verification, and high-volume training sessions.

The 3/8-inch AR500 construction provides the hardness and resilience required to withstand repeated centerfire impacts without degradation or pitting. AR500 steel maintains structural integrity across thousands of rounds, offering a far superior service life compared to standard steel or ceramic targets. The single mounting hole (3/8" diameter) allows for quick installation on standard target frames, chains, or tactical stands. This configuration supports rapid target repositioning between string-of-fire iterations, critical in operator-level training where speed and setup efficiency directly impact training value.

Birchwood Casey gongs are the standard in both civilian and professional shooting venues. The 10-inch diameter offers an appropriately sized aiming point for mid-range work (25–100 yards) and serves as a confidence builder for shooters transitioning from paper to steel. The audible ring and immediate reset eliminate the need for target recovery downrange, reducing range complexity and maximizing trigger time. Whether used for patrol qualification, defensive pistol training, long-gun accuracy assessment, or recreational marksmanship development, this gong integrates seamlessly into established range protocols.
