BEST STEEL TARGET SHOOTING PLATFORM ON THE MARKET!
The original Hammer Target
The swiveling gong is constructed of 3/8 inch AR500 steel which can be used for training with all handgun and rifle calibers if the following rules are observed:
All handgun calibers at 12 yards or more
“At 200-300 yards, 3/8” AR500 is sufficient to stop magnum rifle calibers without damage. It is suitable for all standard magnum and non-magnum handgun calibers at 12 yards (including 500 S&W, with minor crushing of the plate surface and your hands), shotgun slugs at 50 yards, non-magnum rifle calibers at 100 yards, and magnum rifle calibers at 200-300 yards. Simply put, 3/8” AR500 will do the job for most shooters out there.” (MOA Targets official blog, MOA Targets.com, January 3, 2014)

IMPORTANT: Please adhere to the following guidelines when using this Hammer Target model:
Whenever shooting steel targets, if you pit the gong or shoot a hole through it, the gong is unsafe to use further and must be replaced.
Do not shoot rounds that are designed with steel-core, steel-jacketed, armor-piercing, green tip, or any other hardened ammunition.
Do not shoot rounds that exceed 2900 feet per second.
For Handguns the minimum shooting distance is 12 yards for calibers up to 45 ACP and 25 yards for all magnums.
For Rifles the minimum distance is 50 yards or the calculated distance that ensures the round velocity is 2800 feet per second or less when impacting the gong.
PLEASE ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTION and ensure any and all spectators are doing so as well.
