3/8in AR500 Round Gong Target

Shoot Steel cuts this gong from domestic 3/8-inch AR500 on a laser rather than a plasma torch, and drills it for 1/2-inch hardware so it hangs on generic hangers and T-post mounts. Five diameters cover the useful range: 4 inches is a precision test at 100 yards, 8 inches is the general-purpose rifle plate, and 16 inches is a fast carbine target. The size ladder is only half the story, because the same listing sells 3-packs and 5-packs. Two plates at 8 inches cost less than two separate single orders and turn every drill into a transition drill, which is where most shooters actually lose time. The maker rates the plate for all centerfire handguns and short-action rifles through .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor at its published distances: 10 yards for handguns, 100 yards for rifle under 3,000 fps, and 200 yards above it.
