Big gong takes 30 grain .450 bushmaster rounds from 25 yards with no damage.

Great product and quick shipping!

This 10” gong is actually colored like this because ST7.com upgraded the finish of their gong’s and even stands. SUPER nice gong though, absolutely 0 complaints. It’s everything u could ask for and it rings loud and proud!

I have been shooting my 8" 10" and 12" 1/2" ar 500 steel targets with everything I've got. To date the targets have held up great to 500 Smith Wesson mag, 45-70 and .348 Winchester. There targets are super tough, you won't be disappointed!! -Andrew from North Western CT.

Just awesome quality targets!

Shop with confidence at company: 1- Top Quality: I used their 1/2" steel targets of different sizes exclusively. Never disappointed 2- Top Service: it is a trusted company, deliver as promised, no mistakes so far. 3- Price: cannot beat their prices, specially during sales and the free targets with almost every purchase. I never paid for shipping or delivery. I highly recommend Shootng Target 7 and their products.

I have one of these set up permanently at the 100 yard rifle range at my club. It lasts much longer than any other steel gong I have used. It endured thousands of rounds before it finally cracked. much longer than any other target.

We shot different calibers, FMJ's, hollow points, and varmint tips from 7 yards out to 150. No damage to the steel target, and what fun! (With hearing protection on, I never really heard the gong.) Mounting kit made it easy to hang. We'll gradually add some different sizes of these targets and get a shooting gallery going.

Just what the title says, you can trust this website for sure. Gongs are first rate. If I ever need another one, I will be coming to shooting targets 7 first.

I have tried a few others steel target systems. Shooting 7 Swinger steel targets are better from a durability stand point. The others I tried where on a more ridged mounted system and after a short while the plate faces where heavily pitted and the mounting system was broken and not usable as a target. I am a recreational shooter and use steel targets 1 or 2 times a month.

I had been looking around at steel targets for awhile. After much research I went with Shooting Targets 7. The targets are high quality, shipping was on time, and the owners are a pleasure to deal with. You can not find any better targets than these. Their prices are also fair without compromising quality.

Pings from a .22, clangs with a .308. No question when you hit the target. Lots of fun.

Thus far I have shot 22, 38 and 40 at 20 yards. There is absolutely no damage to the target and the ammo is safely deflected downward with the bolts and chain from ST7. I plan to shoot 223 and 30-30 at greater distances in the near future. I have little concern because this steel target is built to take it. I am very impressed and it was at a great price. I am currently awaiting shipment of the target stand that will make shooting this target even more enjoyable.

This is a very good product. I was rust free when I received it in the mail. The shipping did take longer than I expected. Overall, I am very pleased with the product and would buy it again.

ordered 1/2" thick 10 inchers and 4 inchers about 2 months ago and ran around 1000 rounds downrange. targets are holding up great. no shot-off ears, no concaving, just paint damage. judging from the lack of any noticeable damage, i sincerely anticipate these gongs will last far longer than the crap i bought at the gunshow. that being said, not sure i will need to buy again but if i ever needed to, i wouldnt hesitate to get back to shooting targets 7 and buy their targets.

These come in unpainted as it states on the website to keep costs down. This means to start with you will have to give them a couple of coats of paint as a base. As with any metal target you will be painting them often as the paint will chip when you shoot it. I am a fan of keeping the costs down. I shot the targets with pistol rounds (40 and 38 spec) and it had the typical paint marks but no damage to the target itself. I shot the targets at 100 yards with 223 rounds and again they held up beautifully. The paint chipped but their was no noticeable mark in the steel. I made these fairly portable by buying a couple of 5' green steel fence stakes and some chain at a local hardware store. Put an eyelet screw in the top holes of the stakes with a nut on each side to hold the chain and then hung the chain on those. All in all the stakes, Chains and screws cost under 15$. A cheap way to set the gongs up. With any place you order you never know what kind of company you are dealing with until something goes wrong. My order was for a number of gongs and they sent the wrong size on one of the smaller gongs. I brought it to their attention and the correct gong was sent out immediately no questions asked. People make mistakes. It is how they deal with the mistakes that sets them apart. Customer service at ShootingTargets7 is A+.

Was expecting hardware to come with it. Chains bolts... No big deal. Like shooting this target... A lot! Marks note: Chains are not included with Gongs or Torsos this is why we sell the mounting kits separately. (not everyone wants to pay for them)

works as advertized

Fantastic. This is much more fun than punching targets. Rings loud and stands up to heavy hits by big bore rifles. I shoot .44 mag, 45-70 and 30-06. Cast and jacketed bullets just explode when they hit this gong. I like the 1/2" gongs because they are heavier and do not swing as much when hit by heavy bullets. Something to consider if you are using Lever guns or any other repeater.

I bought this gong and 2 precision gongs around 2 months ago and they are fantastic for the price. The quality is just as good as competitors for less and shipping is amazingly fast.

Great price, and it seems to be more durable than others that I have used. Fast and cheap shipping as well. I'll be buying more in the future.

Use this target at a distance of 300 yards. It has held up to my custom .300 Win Mag only showing minimum wear. A friend has his gong and I have put craters in it at 300 yards. It's all in the steel, the only complaint I have it I have to paint it all the time.

well made; stand easy to use and carry; withstood lots of 17hmr from 100yds without a dent; excellent customer service

Awesome Gong! I have shot it with everything from a 22 hornet to my 44/40 and they are holding up to the test!

Great gong that stands up to 556 and 308 without a problem.

Just hung one of these in my backyard range. 50 rounds of 9mm didn't leave a scratch. Rings like a bell to boot. Great Price, well made and shipping was very fast. Hope to add some more in the near future.

Should have bought these 10 years ago. We have a lot of fun shooting theses steel targets.

I bought one of these last week and I have to say that these targets are AWESOME!!!! They are a blast to go out and shoot at....The quality of this product is AMAZING!!!! I was out yesterday with both of my cousins shooting for about 2 1/2 hours and the target took everything we were shooting at it......Even the military surplus Mosin Nagant rounds that are full metal jacket steel core rounds. INCREDIBLE product and will DEFINITELY recommend to EVERY shooter I know!

These 10" gongs are a lot of fun to shoot, and they really stand up to it as well. I was shooting these from 200 yards out to 300 yards with 5.56 green tips, 7.62x39 fmj, and a M1 Garand. The penetrator rounds out of my AR dimpled the plates, so I decided not to hit them with the Mosin Nagant because all I have for it are penetrator rounds and I've seen what they did to my 3/8" plates from another company. I'm sure I'll be ordering more of these, being as how all of my friends at the range won't me to make them some target stands like I made for these.

I love the dings. Nice and loud even on a .22! Held up great against 308, 556,22,and even x39! No denting!

Finally got to get out and ring some steel. These targets are awesome. Handled my AK and Mosin rounds like they were BBs. Awesome product!

We use targets like these for 3 gun matchs and I will say that they are as good or better. They are affordable and offer the competitve shooter a means to practice on what you compete with. Great customer service also.

It is early but my first impression is a good one. The 1/2ג€ gongs held up to a lot of rounds of 6.5, 22 lr, 9mm, and 45 auto from distances of 7 yards to 25 yards. Zero indentations. A little white spray paint and they look new again. I can't wait to try them out from long range with my 7mm Rem Mag. Also, super fast and cheap shipping. All my future orders will be from Mark! Thanks for a great product.

Bought the 10", 8", 6" and received the 4" free. These targets are very well made and add a whole new dimension to my regular practice sessions. Great buying experience with order updates and fast reasonable shipping. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Do yourself a favor and also purchase their mounting chains as well (cheaper if you order with targets). I did not because I had something different in mind but will be ordering the chains soon because it is the best option. Thank you to the vets who work here for your service to this great country.

I now have the 3, 6, 8, 10 and 12" gongs. I like the 1/2 inch thick targets. I'm looking to get a torso target next. These targets are GREAT.

This one is for the hot ARs and the big magnums. My hunters will love getting confirmation of a 200 or 300 yard hit before hitting the fid.

Very good quality and prices !

I will need to look no further for my metal target needs. These are perfectly cut, solid and sound terrific. I will definitely be buying more targets for my range from Shootingtargets7!

bought 2- 10 inch x 3/16 inch for 22's- 2-10 inch x 3/8's for larger hand guns and a10 inch x 1/2 inch for my 100 yard target for my 223, 308, 7mm mag and my 50 cal muzzle loader, simply said I love these targets, way more fun than paper, so much more I just ordered a 1/2 inch torso for my long range target. shipping was crazy awsome, had them in Texas in 3 days by ( snail mail ) of all things. and getting free gongs with my purchase is an A+. these guys are great and know what great customer service is all about, they ship your order fast fast and even faaassssster than you expect, both of my orders have shipped next day ( I ordered them late in the evening ) if you have never shot steel before try it you'll never shoot paper again

As warned in the product description, I'm not going back to paper for anything other than sighting in. This target is a moderate challenge to shoot at 100yds, no magnification free hand on my AR-15; not too easy, nor too hard. Just right, and a lot of fun. Shipping was fast, communication was great, and the product performed well. Would buy from this business again.

Awesome product. Friends love shooting at them including my kids. Hope everyone orders them.

These targets worked perfectly. I just went shooting and put around 200 rounds of .223 into this target and it held up great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves shooting.

No bull. This target takes all my lead from all my firearms and flattens them with ease. Lovely sound to it too. Be sure and get a stand its a pain without one.

Was finally able to set up the target while visiting a friend at his family's farm. Shot the target at about 30 yards with over 500 rounds of mostly 9mm, with some 22lr and 45ACP as well. Target shrugged everything off easily. Hung it on a shepherd's crook using only one piece of the chain connected at its ends to the gong. Worked great. The mounting hardware angled the gong slightly enough to deflect the bullets safely to the ground. Wish I lived on enough acreage to enjoy this more often. So much BETTER than punching holes in paper!

I have 3 of these plus other sizes. I have used to sight in my AR15 iron sights and Carry handle sights at 25 yards. The gongs take the hits and deflects the bullet (smashes the bullet) and barely leaves a mark. Blows the paint off. Have hit with about 130 rounds of 55g and 62 grain without gong distortion. Will buy again. Next I'm going to try the 3/8" by 10in.

I ordered your 10" AR500 1/2" Gong for use at the rifle range. I love hearing it ring on impact! It might be the replacement to paper I was seeking.

I've been hitting these gongs with all sorts of ammo and they hang tough! Nice clean cuts make gongs easy to hang and orders ship quickly.

I have several targets from shootingtargets7.com and I am very happy with all of them. I own 10", 6", and 3" 1/2" gongs, and a 10" AR500 BULLSEYE TARGET 3/8". All of the targets are great quality and shipped very quickly. I will be buying more.

The gong arrived quickly and appears solid. I have only done a small amount of shooting at it, but so far it has held up nicely.

After 5 rounds of 3006 FMJ at 50yds., i checked the gong, NOT A SCRATCH! It rings like a church bell and looks to be indestructible.I expected at least an indent or small crater. There was NO DAMAGE to the gong surface. The bullets hit and turn to fine particles on impact. I didn't know they made steel this durable. It even gives a nice lil 'bink" sound when hit with a .22 LR. Simply the best steel to be found, bar none! AMAZING STEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

easy to use web site, fast free shipping, excellent quality, and a blast to shoot

I bought these for my brother in-law cause since he came back from his second tour over seas hes wanted hem so i surprised him with the three set and he was surprised but thought since it was only halfinch steel he thought we punch big holes in it after 5 hours of shooting even with large caliber rounds even armour piercing (cause he was impressed and wanted to see what the target could do) the target still has no holes or even really a scratch the edges got knicked but thats even hard to tell with proper setup and the recommended angle on he targets these will probably outlast the shooters and be able to pass them down, he told me to add aswell he wish he had this steel on his convoy's trucks cause his got shot to hell and had holes all through it making it almost useless and if he had this covering it instead he would have been much safer!

Fun Fun Fun!!!!! Buy these folks, they are worth every penny!

I love this target! I have taken this target out twice now and I am really impressed with its durability. I'm getting into long range shooting and it is really satisfying to look through the scope to follow up on your shot and see the gong swinging. I am shooting a .270 Winchester and it barely makes a mark in the steel, which will allow many years of use. My order shipped faster than I expected and it arrived securely in the well packaged box. If I ever need another quality steel target in the future, I will be coming back to this company.

Quality targets. I'd like to possibly see the targets having one drilled hole in the middle instead of 2.

Like the gongs but the silhouettes are better to shoot.....especially when sighting in. Wonderful shooting em and love to hear the bells!!!!

Did a review on my YouTube channel (yoitube.com/user/mpk1414). Hammered this thing at 25 yards with an 8mm and it laughed. Great plate.

I ordered 4 targets, a 10, 8, 6, and 4 inch. These targets are cut out very nicely, unlike some of the ones I have seen from other target makers. The steel is very good quality, and it looks like they will last a long time. The shipping was super fast. I could go on and on. I can't really think of any way the service from ShootingTargets7 could be improved upon. It is top notch all the way around. I'm happy.

I bought a 10"x 1/2" gong and it's really awesome!! Shooting paper is sooooo boring now!! Prices are greats, shipping is fast and quality is high. If you're looking for steel targets, wait no more. I highly recommend ShootingTarget7.com. They're great to deal with. I'll definitly order from them again. A silhouette will soon keep company to my gong...

Bought the 10", 8", and 6" targets. They came in the mail earlier than I was told by shipping notice and seem to be high quality. Put about 100 rounds on them so far and are holding up real nice.

I took a home defense course with my 12 gage in Rochester, NY a while back and used steel targets for the first time. What fun to have immediate audio feedback. I discovered your website recently and bought a six inch dia. x 1/2" thick gong for a stationary target and two ten inch gongs I'll set up with cables and pulleys to use as moving targets. And I got a three inch dia. x 1/2" thick for free(!) to use as a longer distance accuracy target. With these gongs I'll spend less time walking to paper targets and more time sending bullets down range. What a great product!

This is the best value that we could find for AR500 targets. The 10' x 1/2" targets took the abuse of 40SW, 45 ACP and 460 SW Mag! You will not find a better deal!

Ordered two 10" gongs and one 10" bullseye gong, at 200 yards it is a blast, no running down rage to replace paper. The 1/2 AR500 gongs take one hell of a beating with my 338 LAPUA and still look great other than the paint, the best price I have found on gongs, for real fun try that old 22LR at 200 yards, pull the trigger, wait, wait, and PING.

I bought the 10", 6", 4", and 3" all in 1/2". We try to go shooting every weekend if not every other weekend and so for these have all taken a beating and the only difference between now and when I pulled them out of the shipping box is now they have paint on them. I honestly don't see how these things would ever wear out but if and when they do I am going to replace them through Shooting Targets 7.

good product, having fun shooting it up.

It took me a long time to finally step up to steel targets. I shouldn't have waited so long. Greatly enhances the shooting experience. In addition the mounting kit is an outstanding value- cheaper than you can obtain the materials yourself at the Home Depot.

Best price I've found on the internet. Fast shipping. Targets and take a beating without any dimpling.

I got a 10'', 8'', and two 6'' of the 1/2'' Gongs. Great workmanship on the cutting, these will last a lifetime of fun!

Bought 3", 6", and 10" gongs in 1/2" thickness. 30-06 leaves no dents. These will lasts forever.

I purchased the 10", 8", 6", 3", and got the 4" free. Great targets to shoot. After they arrived, I painted them white, and hung them to dry. After that period, I mounted them and the fun began! Excellent targets!!! I just ordered the magnetic stencils this past week. They should be here any day. I plan on painting the exposed area red. After shooting those up, I will probably reverse the paint scheme. After I collect some more pennies, I am going after another 8", 10" and a couple of 12".

So my local "Sportsmen's Club" only goes out to 300 yards. Easy day with the 10" and thanks a million for the "Free" 4" because that was a confidence booster 300 as well. I'm saving up for my next order of 1/2" silhouettes for my three hour drive for 1050 yards.

This gong can take it all! I am using for handguns, 12", 10", 8", 6", and the 4" (free with my order!!)...HOWEVER....will take on any caliber at the proper distance! Plan on buying one more gong (16") for 100 yards plus. Best system out there, bought with the stand and support chains, using my own 2x4.....buy it once, will last you a lifetime! Highly, highly recommend; customer service is unparalleled!

The price is more than fair and the quality of these is excellent. After the results of a few trips out I have no doubts of a lifetime enjoying these and will be back to add to my growing collection.

Fast shipping, great product. I will be buying more.

you could use these to make a bullet proof wall

Have not used it yet, seems very sturdy.

Never have bought or shot gongs before. Shipping was fast. Gongs are lots of fun to shoot. I have nothing to compare it to but these gongs meet my expectations. Pitted a little bit at 100 yrds with AR15. Ammo said it should have dropped below rating of gongs but that may be my fault not the gongs. I am very critical and would only rate a 5 if they absolutely blew my expectations out of the water.

We did exactly what we weren't supposed to and hung it with no angle at all and then proceeded to shoot it about 15 times with 62 gr Green Tip NATO penetrators at 100 yards. They barely dinged the surface with no sign at all on the back of the target. I would describe the damage dings to the front as being about the size of a 1/4 to 1/2 a BB. We also peppered it from 30 yards with 9mm and .40 cal pistol rounds. The pistol rounds didn't even scratch it. It's a very solid target.

I bought one of these last week and I have to say that these targets are AWESOME!!!! They are a blast to go out and shoot at....The quality of this product is AMAZING!!!! I was out yesterday with both of my cousins shooting for about 2 1/2 hours and the target took everything we were shooting at it......Even the military surplus Mosin Nagant rounds that are full metal jacket steel core rounds. INCREDIBLE product and will DEFINITELY recommend to EVERY shooter I know!

Target shipped fast, set it up, bolted it at angle. Took it out to my range, hung it from a stand I made out of 1/2 in. pipe. Shot it all day .45, 380, 9mm and .44 mag. No dents, just paint it looks new. Never going back to paper targets. Thanks for a great product.

been shooting this gong for a while now it's great.very nicely cut.just repaint and you're good to go.excellent product excellent seller

Bought this gong to shoot with a tactical 30-06 rifle I built. These are cut very nicely. No sharp edges or burrs. I've been shooting it with some very hard hitting rounds at 300 & 400 yards.The target is holding up very well. Mounted it using the hardware kit that you also sell. The gong is showing no signs of damage, and "rings like a bell" and can be heard even at long distances. So much more fun to shoot than just plain paper. Shipping was super fast too ! I am very happy with my target, and will be ordering more in the future. Keep up the great work on a great product !!!

This is probably the best target I have ever shot at. I am shooting 7.62x54R FMJ Steel core at 100 YDS with iron sights and I know for sure if I hit. The target holds up great. I paint it white and it makes a definite mark to see. The sound it makes is loud enough to hear. Would recomend this to anyone. With the mounting kit, you don't have to worry about anything comming back at you. It is all deflected down. Great product.

These targets are well made and hold up to 5.56 and 7.62 fire. They make a nice sound you can hear at distance! The mounting kit keeps the deflection angle down and into the berm, which is required at my range. I would buy again no problem!

This 10" gong is perfect for any rifle. Shipping was fast and the price was the best I was able to locate on the web. I highly recommend ShootingTargets7!!!

The 1/2" steel plate works great with no damage from 308 or 223 full metal jacket ammo. The mounting kit was easy to install and perfectly secure. For holding the plates, I use 'The Last Stand' frame (made from inexpensive & durable rebar).

Saw some videos on Youtube on AR500 targets from ShootingTargets7.com. It convince me to get some. It came very fast and can't wait to use it. I am sure that we will have a blast using these steel targets compared to the paper targets we were using. I will post an update once I get a chance to use them.

We painted a panda face on our 10" steel plate, the bolt tabs being ears. .. not that we have anything against pandas... 300 rounds of buckshot and 9mm so far and not a scratch or dent made.

Best steel targets I have used!

I bought 5 targets great price quality product good people to deal with will buy more in the future excellent company!!!

These target are awesome where were these targets 20 years ago. They would have saved me a lot of money. EVERYBODY needs some of these targets. Cant stop shooting them.

This target is nicely priced and works great. The gallery on the website regarding how to hang, etc, was very informative Some were cleaner than others but all I needed to do with the target was to clean then up a bit with sanding and then some painting.

Well cut gong. Nice product. Fair Price. I'm sure my great great great grandkids will appreciate and enjoy them as well.

My friends down the hill from where I was shooting were some 200 yards away and they said they could clearly hear my shots break followed by the ringing smack of this steel gong. The 1/2" thick AR500 steel shrugged off the 20 or so 182gr 7.62x54R rounds as well as some 60 rounds of 55gr .223FMJ's fired from just over 100 yards. I built a frame in front of my buddies berm out of some 6x6 8' long posts I had laying around and hung the 12" and 10" round gongs from rubber bungee cords and then the fun began. Even with ear plugs in I could still hear the distinctive ring of the bullets impacting these gongs. The gongs came well packaged and in good time so no complaints there. All in all I am very satisfied with these gongs and plan on ordering some 3/8" silhouette targets soon. This is without a doubt worth the investment and these steel targets are easy to hang, transport and maintain.

A+++++++

Good product. Fun to shoot. Glad I went with the 1/2 inch.

Targets arrived quickly, and well packaged. Got the mounting chains with the 1/2"targets. (2 10" gongs, and 1 4" gong) They were a big hit with my friends!! We shot for hours. Had one 10" target @ 100 yards, and a 10" and 4" @ 150 yards. We shot 22lr, 17 hmr, 30-06, and 300 wsm. We had them singing and dancing. We got a little bit of pitting with the 300swm, but nothing to damage the integrity of the gong. The mounting chains were very handy for a quick setup, and work well . The magnetic stencils are also well worth the money and make it easy to make professional looking targets. Going to repaint and get them ready for the next go around!! Going to keep building my range with different shapes and sizes!! Thanks for a great product!!

I have been looking at getting steel targets for a while now but most companies want 300+ per target. When I came across this website I couldn't believe the prices. The shipping was extremely fast (I think it was 3 days) and the quality is excellent. If you are thinking of getting steel targets, look no further. I have put .223 , .308 , and many other calibers on this steel from 50, 75, and 200 yards, no dents or dimples at all.... thanks shooting targets 7

I will break this review into 3 parts; the seller, the product, and then what I learned . The seller: Honest, reliable, and kind. I sent at least 27 emails and called a dozen times. He answered every email and took every call without any delay. Super friendly every time I contacted him. That was before I even bought a plate. The items were shipped the next day. The product: I can't compare it to any other steel since this is the first I shot at steal of my own but I can say this, not a dent or ding in the plate. Within the first week I put over 3000 rounds between 5 plates and they are still smooth. I shot 22 to 44 mag. These plates were the 1/2. I picked that thickness because I plan on shooting rifles at them. No sense of getting anything with a less thickness.Pay the extra money and get the thicker plates just in case you want to shoot rifles or any large caliber. Overall, I learned a great deal after 1 week of use. For pistols, I like the 8" for 15 yards 10s and 12s for quick shooting beyond 15 yards. I put a 12", 6", and a 4" at 40 yards to see if I was any accurate. For the rifle, I am going to set up my range with 10" for quick shots, and 10s, 12s, and 6s for the100 yards. Basically the same range set up for pistol but for the rifle I will start a couple inches bigger. To each is their own when it comes to the set up. I say fo sure buy more than 2! Also, I used Shepard Hooks to mount my plates. They work great. The 10s and up need 2 to hold them.

i use the 10 inch for a 300 win mag target at 400 yds. painted yellow it works great mounted just like you said and hung off 4x4s with the little one .......... i think im in love....... lol. will be ordering more for my friends. and my self. thanks for a great product.
