Amazing product, bought 8" 3/8 gongs which i shot with 9mm / 5.56 greentips and 308. 9mm and 5.56 at 15-50 yards, barely made a dent. 308 at 100 yards made a tiny dent but its still great.

This is on the front stand 10 yards out for pistol shooting - excellent size to start before zeroing in the smaller targets.

Hit these with 100 rounds of FMJBT .223 PMC. Very well made. Used my iron (A3 handle) sights @ 100 yards

Have the two 8" gongs flanking a 16" gong for rifle practice at 25 and 50 yards.

The product is excellent but even more so was the customer service help after I made an error on my order.

Love these AR500 steel targets on a new shooting range set up at our property in Indiana. Have now fired a few hundred rounds at these at the proper distances and barely a scratch on them. Looking forward to many years of happy target shooting. Keep up the great work on your quality products!

The 8" plates performed as expected...will purchase additional plates soon...

These are great targets to practice center mass shooting! I got them primarily for my wife to shoot at since they are larger and she is a new shooter. she loves the ping sound when she hits and really makes it fun for us when we go shooting.

Using steel targets instead of paper allowed us to run a larger session in less time

Great price, great service!

Super Quality and very fast shipping! S Watson

Great quality and great prices!

My first order was for five 8" and one 10" 5/8" gongs for timed shooting practice at my personal humble range. Oh, included was also a silhouette for 100 yds. All arrived rapidly, and I couldn't get them up fast enough. They're great, and I love instant the gratification. However, I could have gone with 3/8" for pistol shooting. Recently, I ordered 3 more 8" gongs to add to my 10 yard set up. The 3/8" are fine for my 9mm shooting. Winter temps and ammo prices have cut into my usual shooting habits, but Shooting Targets 7 has enabled me to be ready for spring and maybe cheaper ammo. The attached photo is of my initial installation. Thank you, Shooting Targets 7. Greg H... veteran supporting veterans.

Works great! will be getting more down the road

I haven't shot at these yet. I have several others, these are just adding to the pile of targets. I Keep coming back for more.

It's a nice add to the set up

Very nice gold-tone finish. Perfect performance with .22, 9 mm, and .45 ACP at 25 yards.

5 stars or should I say 5 gongs all the way. Have only shot 22s so far but the dings were good.

I like the targets so far and have used to help site in a new scope. The steel seems tough and the anodizing is good. The only thing I wish is that the targets were actually painted black as in your sites pictures. But I took care of that. The other thing was the stencils are like a reverse stencil. I needed to paint the say Red color first over the entire target then the black to bring out the red rings, but I didn't think that through. After I knock off some more paint I will re-do.

Great price & delivered on time!

Great products! Fast service snd fair prices. I’m very happy with this purchase

I’ve already put about 3 thousand of 9mm and about 1000 of 556ammo . Still shape like brandnew! Definitely worth the mo ney

I was looking for good targets at a fair price and I found them here. Will definitely be ordering again.

Haven’t put too many rounds on it but so far so good; great price and fast shipping too!

Great targets put some decal stickers on them to make them show up a little better.

I had a great experience. Ridiculously fast shipping had all the items to me before an event!

The whole family enjoys ringing the gong! Great quality targets!

Great size for pistol shooting and great quality. This thing will last for years

Ordered on May 25, 2020 and here I am waiting June 19, 2020 and still nothing has arrived. I went to go shooting with my father for the first time in thirty years so I bought some steel targets to make the the moment special. My package never arrived. What a disappointment as I don't know if my father that is in his 70's can make it out with me again. The tracking number was given to me shows that it was mailed but is somewhere in USPS system. I hope that shootingtargets7 still gets my package to me.

used @25 yds with 9mm,22,45lc nice ring good value

Excellent target . Exactly what I ordered , the day it came it took a pounding with 450 bushmaster . After about 75 shots I had to call it a day , shoulder couldn't take anymore . But target is great shape

Great product at a great price!!

Cheap and awesome! I followed the directions with respect to velocity and distance and there was no problem.

If it wasn't for the marks on the paint I'm not sure I'd be able to tell I hit them.

Unbelievable quality, You have to see them to believe it. You won’t regret any purchases that you make from this company.

Fast shipping. Couldn’t be happier with the quality. It was better than I expected.

I love this 8 inch gong, i bought a 10 inch also to go along with it, the great thing is i can keep adding to my setup slowly as i save up money for it, The whole experience was very good

Great target.

Great products. Fast delivery. Now that they're set up, let the games begin. Be safe, have fun.. Scouts Out

Had a great day at the range with our new 8” gongs. We got a great price and insanely fast delivery, too. Will definitely be buying again.

These Gongs are the perfect weight and thickness for use on our land. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a good time outdoors.

Great targets, especially for the price. Heading out to ring steel this weekend!

Work as advertised, slight pitting with .223/5.56 at 140 yards

Great service fast delivery cant ask for more than that.

Great product, fair price and reasonably fast shipping. Will buy more targets here.

Great quality

I love the 8 in 3/8 plates in ar500, I bought six of them, I hit them with the 45 Long Colt and 357, they are just perfect, this is the way I hang them, I am going to purchase six of the 10 in in a 3/8 next. I give them 5 star

Quality steel. Surprisingly fast shipping

Performs as advertised

These look great!

I have my own range at my house and I have gone exclusively to these AR500 gong targets in varying sizes. The 3/8" handles steel core 7.62x54R ammo at 60 yards w/ no damage to the gong. I highly recommend these.

I use this target for shooting quick drills with my AR and it has been a great addition to the range. We hardly shoot at the paper anymore because this is much more rewarding. With a loud ring when hit you can see the faces on others who have never shot steel smile. I will be buying more. Thanks for providing an fantastic target at an unbelievable price!

This is the best buy on steel that I could find anywhere, coupled with the flat rate shipping it can't be beat. I will definitely be buying more.

Bought several gongs, mounting kits, repair links, etc. Great prices - and I shop around a lot. Much faster shipping than anticipated, packaged securely. Targets are very cleanly cut with little scale and are very durable- the most I've hit them with is an 7.62x39 (AK) but no damage at all. I doubt that I'll ever wear these out but I'll need more at some point and will be sure to order here again.

Gongs are great quality and we're delivered quickly. I put about 200 rounds down range and they are like new. Will come back again

Reasonable pricing and quick shipping

Great product and fast shipping. Looking forward to years shooting this target.

Great Targets. Suggest ordering mounting kits with targets.

These targets are excellent. They are just as described. I did not buy the hardware this time. I will next time because the price is very reasonable and it is a pain in the rear to go to Home Depot and buy all the stuff. THANK YOU!!

I put in an order for 6 gongs from shootingtargets7 and must say that they delivered in every respect. Quality is second to none. I have some other AR-500 gongs from another maker and there is no comparison in quality and workmanship between them. My hootingtargets7 gongs are so clean they look like they were made with a stamp. Perfectly symmetrical and all edges are sharp and clean; no slag, no grinder marks, no tool marks. I spent $102 and got the free shipping option so that was fantastic! This is a great company and I stand by their product.

This thing takes licks from both my 9mm and 223/556 firearms without any issues.

awesome cant beat it

It's my first Gong and it will definitely not be my last one from this company.

Excellent quality and a great price. Having lots of fun shooting it with my 9mm and .40 caliber.

steel target fast shipping.

excellent target have a lot of fun shooting would for sure purchase more shipping was really fast also

This target is awesome. For the price you can't beat it. There is nothing like the sound of a 45 hitting the gong.

Thanks for a great product at a great price. enjoy shooting the targets and thanks for the extras. will order again soon.

I ordered the 4, 6 and 8 inch gong targets last Sept, I believe. I wanted to get some time on the range with them before I wrote a review. Well, we have put at least a thousand rounds on each of these targets and I can only say wow! Theses are some great targets. We have only used pistol ammunition on the targets from 22 LR to .45 colt. I have not rotated the targets as of yet, but to be honest, I have not seen a reason to do it. No pitting, warping or bending that would lead me to believe it was time to rotate the metal. I will probably do it this summer just to make these last forever, although they will probably last forever anyways. I remember that shipping was extremely quick and customer service was excellent. You can't go wrong purchasing from Shooting Targets 7. I searched many sights and gave them a try and will not go anywhere else. I also got their target stands and mounting accessories. Great design, easy setup and service that exceeds expectations. Did I mention, I also Received a 3" target for free when I ordered. Great company!!

Bought 7 steel target when it was on sale awesome deals, superb quality. Glade I made the right call buying from y'all. Thank you for shipping them out so quickly.

I have only had one shooting session with my new targets, but I can say that they are so much more fun to shot than paper! My father and I setup quickly (cold overcast day at ranch) and shot for several hours, which we normally do not do with paper targets. I would not hesitate to order more (in fact I am now thinking of several of the other sizes)! Targets are great quality and value for the money. I have always wanted to try these and finally did.

This is not a cheap gong. It is a very thick piece of steel, well made. No edges that will cut you. Get large links because 1/4 inch shackles will not cut it. I have not hit it with the winmag yet but 77gr AR rounds did nothing to it except take some paint.

I have put over 1000 rounds on these targets in the last week. The quality is top notch. The sound is great. I love to watch the targets swing. These steel targets are so much better then paper it is just unbelievable. The hanging kits work great I don't think you could build them yourself for any less. Great price great quality great fun!!!! The shipping was timely.

It has been a few weeks since receiving my AR500 8in - 3/8in thick steel target from shootingtargets7 and I have been out shooting at it now for about 2 weeks and it is holding up perfectly against 9mm and .40 cal ammo. This target will last forever and the sound that it makes when hitting it is very good and lets you know your hitting it very well, the target also leaves little bullet markings on it so you can see exactly where your hitting the target as well and just wipes clean with some wd40 very easily and it brings the target back to its original brand new state. Great Targets!!!!!

Looking to add some fun to a pistol class I was teaching, I got 5 of these and some heavy duty shepherds hooks for ease of moving. No issues with the steel...easily painted different colors for different courses and the they work hanging by either one hole (simplest) or two (with some chain). About 1000 rounds on them so far and no pitting or chips despite many hits on the edge.

Takes hit after hit without denting. Liked the first order so much I ordered more.....Well worth the money and will last a lifetime....

I bought the 8" 3/8 AR500 gong after I ruined two 6" A-36 mild steel targets with my new Bushmaster 223/556 the mild steel was no challenge for a 223 round. The AR500 steel takes hits from 223/556 and is a beautiful sound with no signs of pitting at all, I highly recommend AR500 targets from ShootingTargets7. I will be purchasing more in the future, thanks for an outstanding product!

Best gongs around. Quality cut and finish. All you have to do is add lead and have fun!

Just took a roll of masking tape, centered it and painted a white center. as much fun as you can have! Bill

These are great. Very heavy duty. Much heavier and thicker than I expected them to be. Going to be a lot of fun hammering them with rounds.

I already had purchased and reviewed this gong earlier, but I wanted to set several up at different distances for pistol work that I ordered a couple of more! So much more fun than shooting paper. My father and I can spend a whole afternoon in the hot Texas weather just shooting these targets... I'll be ordering more for one more distance from the shooting line. Currently I have two 8", two 12", and two of the IPSC torsos all in 3/8' one of each setup at 10 and 20 yards. All I can say is I wish I had found this website a lot sooner!!!

Great target at a great price. Shipped right away. I will be buying more.

I have several gongs 8" and smaller that I have run from 50 feet to 100 yards. I love them. I like the GLANG! I like the swing I like the safety factor of the splattered bullet deflecting into the ground. I especially like the fact that i can now just walk out the door and start spanking targets. No more hanging paper of setting up cans, etc. just draw a bead and start shooting. I also like the idea that there is no target clean up or litter. When I'm finished with these targets they will be good for my descendants to shoot for another generation.

clean cuts on what seems to be good quality steel. Couldnג€™t be happier!

So many things in life disappoint. These steel targets are the best thing going. Having a BLAST.

Ordered two Steel targets and they are exactly what I was looking for. I have about 150 Rounds on them so far and they are working just as advertised. No pitting or marks, just add a new coat of paint and hit them again. I will be ordering again!

Love this gong. It's the perfect size for fast hammer drills. I'm going to be ordering more of these. i think 3 is the perfect number to have.

THESE ARE EXCELLENT TARGETS. WITH THE EAR HOLES THEY CAN BE TIED BETWEEN POSTS AND REMAIN FLAT TO YOU. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE PRODUCT AND SHIPPING.

Bought a bunch of gongs recently (3", 4", 8" 10" and 12").. These have dramatically added the FUN FACTOR to shooting. It's incredible how they all hold up to major abuse... If only the gong stand was as strong ! All the gongs arrived very quickly. I couldn't be more impressed with Shootingtargets7 !!!

Love these targets! more time shooting and less time setting up...

Great target. Shipped fast and fun to shoot till the ammo runs dry. Handles my hot .357 & .44 mag rounds out of a rifle or revolver no problem.

Bought 6" and 8" gong at 3/8" thickness. Very fun to shoot. Can hear sound from 100 yards. 22LR, 9mm, 45cal and 7.62 did not leave any marks. 223 did leave some marks at 50 yards. Have to heed warning on bullet velocity surpassing 3000 fps. No dents on the back side. Bullets do fracture spray around the target. Evident by all the shrapnel captured in the wooden stands.

I bought a variety of 3/8" thick gongs, including some 8" ones. I took them out the other day and set them up using chain so that they could freely swing. They performed well when shot with 9mm and 380 at 10 yards and with 7.62x39 at 100 yards. No pitting. They did not perform well when shot with 45 colt (from a lever gun) at 30-40 yards, and with 223 at 150 yards. The 45 colt left small dents, and the 223 left small but noticeable craters. At 200 yards the 223 was fine. All rounds were regular copper jacketed FMJ's. The targets are still a good buy, and I will most likely buy again, but I will do so now knowing at what distances to shoot these particular AR500 steel targets. Just some data points.

Quality product with fast shipping...never go back to paper. My fiancee loves them

Love this product! Great quality. Adds challenge to our range!

LOOKING FOR NEW STEELE FOR MY SHOOTING RANGE. SAW THIS COMPANY ON FACEBOOK. THE PRICES ARE GREAT, FAST SHIPPING AND QUALITY IS EXCEPTIONAL.

The 8 and 10 inch gongs are the perfect size for distance shooting. As you get smaller you have to be a much better shot. 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+.

.223 at 3300 didn't leave a mark, just a dot in the paint. Marks note, To clarify here, muzzle speed and bullet speed at point of impact are 2 different things. No idea how far away you were. (don't want to give folks the wrong impression) thank you for your review.

This is a good choice if you want to shoot handguns or .22LR up-close (at a safe distance) and also use larger rifles at 100 yards and beyond. It's also a good size for a target "kill zone" . I have a small collection going now, and might go with a larger gong next time.
