Answer: This system takes less than 60 seconds to assembly. Easily this is our fastest system to set up.

Answer: The Conduit Gong Stand is rated to hold approximately 30-40 pounds of gongs. This is NOT designed to hold a large amount of targets. You will find better performance by keeping 3 or less gongs on this system. If you are looking for a system that holds a massive amount of weight, you may want to consider our Deluxe Gong Stand. Where the conduit system shines is the incredibly fast assembly time and ease of use. If that is most important to you, then this is probably the system for you.

Answer: The powder coating will only chip if you bang the components into something else, or if fragmentation hits it. Over time, expect some normal wear and tear on the finish. This is acceptable and normal. However, items that do not get hit with fragmentation will retain their finish for years to come. We don’t like the idea of shipping dusty rusted brackets to you. So we don’t. Just one other way we add value to our products.

Answer: Gong targets feature our 1 year warranty and are guaranteed to be free from failure within that year when used properly. You MUST use proper ammunition (less than 3,000 FPS, NO STEEL CORE OR PENETRATOR, AND follow our distance recommendations ALWAYS).

Answer: We include two gong hanger hooks and two “y” shaped brackets for the conduit. We currently do NOT carry the conduit for this system. You will need to visit your local hardware store for that. Make sure you purchase 3/4″ Conduit. The brackets for this system are mild steel and are not intended to be shot. Fragmentation will not be an issue, but you should ALWAYS insure your rounds do NOT impact the brackets, hooks, or conduit.

Answer: Most conduit at your local hardware store will be 10′ lengths. For this reason, we recommend you cut them down to 5′ long. Most hardware stores can do this for you and we HIGHLY recommend letting a professional handle this part for you. A side benefit is most conduit is galvanized, which will protect it from rust for many years.

Answer: We produce our products in Lancaster County PA. We oversee every step of the process, QC, production, packaging, and shipping. From start to finish, TA Targets is manufacturing high quality systems for hard use. Our owners own the machinery, facility, equipment, etc. We have invested heavily in newer specialty equipment to further streamline our processes and increase quality even further.

No. The “armor” we use for the strike plates (actual target impact plates) is made from a proprietary material that is manufactured in Sweden. this is the best material we have found in the world. We were largely dissatisfied with the QC of American made strike plates and had too many issues with quality control. Eventually we hope a US manufacturer creates a material that is as available and as stringent as our Swedish plate. For now, this is the best material to service our customers. US Manufactured AR500 and AR550 is used in areas that are NOT main strike plates. Some examples of this are the Rifle Dueling Tree Shields, Plate Rack Shields, Arachnid front shield and hostage brackets.

We source all other raw materials like our mild steel and AR500 steel from domestic mills. SOME hardware will unfortunately come from overseas as there are no US counterparts available at this time. We do NOT use Chinese mild steel or AR500 steel in any circumstances in any of our systems.

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.
