GADFISH AR500 Steel Target 3/8″, Gong Target Hanging Kit These targets make a nice investment. These are sturdy steel targets which can be use over and over likely for a life time. The set includes 3 different sizes bringing greater utility to the set, and also making it a great set for beginners. The novice can start with the larger targets and work your way up to mastery of the smallest target. I tested these targets with rifle at 100 meters and a pistol at around 7 meters. Hits were nice and clearly audible at 100 meters, even when wearing hearing protection. With the rifle, A hit the first hit blasted the shoot & see style stick on target off the steel, I thought this was due to the kinetic energy of the round, but when I switched to pistol it happened here too. The temperature at the time was in the upper 50’s (Fahrenheit), so I presume the stickers are just of poor quality. I think they need to devise a better way to hang the targets. While shooting I would consistently knock the target from the hanger;.. and not just with the rifle, but pistol as well. I attempted 3 different set ups, hooks to the front, hooks to the rear, and hooks facing opposite directions,, but none of them proved a solution to this problem. I plan to attempt a set up using some quick connect chain links, and see if that will hold the targets more secure. Overall I would definitely recommend these targets, sure they need a little work in some areas, but they are heads & shoulders a superior option to purchasing paper or other disposable targets! 4.5 stars! Explaining my rating system: 5 – a superior product – I would highly recommend 4 – above average – a great choice 3 – average – what one might generally expect 2 – below average – I would advise seeking an alternative 1- Horrible – a waste of your valuable money – avoid if at all possible
