The Elite Series Gong is meticulously engineered to meet the demands of both amateur and professional shooters. Its high-quality construction and thoughtful design elements make it an indispensable tool for effective shooting practice.
Premium AR500 Ballistic Steel Construction
Measuring 10 inches in diameter, the gong is crafted from 3/8-inch AR500 ballistic steel, renowned for its exceptional hardness and durability. This material selection ensures the target can withstand repeated impacts from a wide range of calibers, maintaining its integrity over prolonged use.
Innovative Mounting System with "J Hooks"
The inclusion of specialized AR500 "J Hooks" simplifies the mounting process, allowing shooters to set up their targets quickly and securely. These hooks are designed to hold the gong firmly in place, minimizing movement upon impact and ensuring consistent shooting feedback.
Patent-Pending Hanging Frame for Stability
The gong comes with a patent-pending hanging frame that enhances stability during shooting sessions. This frame is designed to absorb and distribute the energy from shots effectively, reducing wear and tear on the target and mounting system. Please note that the base for the hanging frame is sold separately.
Versatility Across Shooting Disciplines
Whether you're engaging in rifle marksmanship, pistol drills, or tactical training, the Elite Series Gong accommodates various shooting styles and calibers. Its robust construction makes it suitable for high-velocity rounds, providing a reliable target for diverse training scenarios.
