12″ Round AR500 Gong Target

The 12″ Round AR500 Gong Target is manufactured from 3/8″ AR500 Steel. 3/8″ Domestic AR500 steel creates a balance of low price and good performance. This gong features (2) square holes that CAN NOT accept hooks to mount to our Conduit Gong System or Deluxe Gong System. This gong can be used with our Tee Post Gong Hanger and Single Hole Gong Hanger. For single hole mounting you simply will only use ONE of the holes for the 1/2″ Carriage bolt. Laser cutting machines ensure precise dimensional cuts that minimize the heat affected zone during production.

Gongs Offer Versatility In Training

Few target plates offer as much versatility as gong targets. The 3/8″ AR500 Genesis Gongs are a perfect balance of low prices with great performance. When used correctly, you can expect these gong plates to last thousands upon thousands of rounds. Whether you are a pistol shooter working on your fundamentals or a distance shooter with a bolt gun, gongs will always be a great investment. Nothing offers a lower cost of entry than our Genesis Gong Targets. When costs are low, more people can begin to train more. Add gongs to a conduit gong hanger, deluxe gong hanger, or any of our single hole mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Answer: Ammunition should be a lead core, copper jacket bullet. Muzzle velocity of rifles should NEVER exceed 3,000 FPS or damage may occur. Armor piercing ammunition, steel core, penetrator, or exotic machined solid bullets are NOT approved for use on the Genesis Gong Target Plates.

Answer: The Genesis Gongs work with our Deluxe Gong Hanger, Conduit Gong Hanger, Single Hole Gong Hanger, and our Tee Post Gong Hanger. The Genesis Target pages & product category will showcase all the acceptable options.

Answer: This target plate is manufactured from Domestic (USA) AR500 steel and is 3/8″ Thick. It is NOT the AR550 steel that we use on our A-DAP target systems.

Answer: Everything has a lifespan. When used properly, the Genesis gong target plates will last many thousands of rounds and many, many years. You can expect some edge chips if the edges are struck with high velocity rifles. Additionally, if you are a very high volume shooter you may eventually experience the expected lifespan of these target plates. Replace the target plate if pits, chips or cracks occur. If pitting occurs, increase distance or change ammunition, or both. Using any of our approved hanging methods ensures the longest life possible from your gong target plates.

Maybe. Just in case, be sure not to eat the paint or lick the target before or after you’ve shot it. If you are just curious, led tastes horrible and will probably cause mental damage. If you have done it once you are likely to do it again. Handle at your own risk, if you choose, you may wear an industry grade hazmat suit and gas mask with a HEPA filter and good luck charm on your wrist.
