Lot's of fun, and the gong hands in there. Yhe light weight steel frame takes a beating from fragments that can punch holes in it. A little reinforcement and it will be fine.

I shot this gong at 200, 300 and 400 yards with a .308 rifle. The AR 550 harden steel did not even dipple. This target system is easy to transport and assemble. I'm gong to buy the kill zone gong. More targets equals less moving the targets to different yardage. Optics Planet price and free shipping was the best deal I found.

This steel target was easy to assemble and very portable. You can paint it after shooting to keep it from rusting. It should have a good life as long as you don't damage the frame from errant shots.

I bought this prior to deer season and my Grandsons and I have shot it repeatedly with everything we have including .22, .17 HMR, .223, .243,.270 and 30-06. I have repainted it twice but that is good because the paint chips allow you to see the hits easily at 100 yards with the high power rifles.

This is a nice target system. I bought it so I could easily put up a plate target for rifle shooting. It's not too heavy (the frame isn't anyways), and easy to take down and transport. Don't shoot the legs though, they don't feel liek they will stand a rifle impact )or some pistols). The value is outstanding when you order the earmuffs with it. The earmuffs work great so far and amplify better than my Peltors.

Excellent value when purchased with the ear muffs combination. Used this weekend over 200 rounds with no problem.
