Birchwood Casey 8" Gong Two Hole 3/8" Ar500 Stl

The Birchwood Casey 8" Gong Two Hole 3/8" AR500 Steel target is a centerfire rifle and handgun-compatible reactive target designed for serious range work and tactical training. Built from hardened 3/8" AR500 steel, this 8-inch diameter gong delivers audible, visible feedback on every hit—a critical feature for shooters who need immediate confirmation of shot placement during live fire sessions, competition prep, or operator-level training.

AR500 steel's hardness and durability withstand repeated impacts from full-power rifle rounds without cratering, pitting, or degrading the strike surface—a requirement that softer steel targets cannot meet. The two mounting holes allow secure installation on standard target stands, bayonet posts, or custom frame setups, ensuring stability even under high-volume fire. At 5.31 pounds, the gong is substantial enough to absorb impact energy without excessive movement while remaining portable for field deployment or range transport.

This target suits rifle marksmanship training, pistol-to-rifle transition drills, and long-distance accuracy verification where visual and audio feedback accelerates skill development. Operators, competitive shooters, and serious practitioners rely on steel targets for the speed and reliability of feedback that paper or reactive polymer targets cannot provide. The gong's compact 8-inch diameter fits training scenarios requiring precise shot groups, target arrays, or distance-dependent aiming practice.

Birchwood Casey's established reputation in target manufacturing reflects decades of supplying shooters across law enforcement, military, and civilian sectors. This steel gong represents proven performance for high-volume range environments where durability, repeatability, and operational reliability are non-negotiable.
