We got tired of chains snapping. So we built this.

Idaho shop, not a warehouse
Shipping shown first
ZIP estimate on every product
Every part replaceable
Strap wears out, target doesn’t
Three ways to shoot
Same 18" AR500 plate in all three. The difference is what holds it up. Everything else on this site is a part for one of these.
AR500 Target System
18" gong, adjustable stand, DuPont Kevlar straps, grade 10.9 hardware and every carry strap. Deploys in about 10 minutes. Nothing else to buy.
Bare Bones 18"
Gong, Kevlar straps and hanger. Bring your own stand or hang it from a tree.
AR500 Gong Kit
Just the 18" plate and mounting hardware. Already own a stand?
Nothing ships free. We would rather say so now.
Steel is heavy and freight costs real money. Every product page has a ZIP estimator that returns the exact figure before you commit, and it is the same number checkout shows.

Built to withstand
AR500, 477–534 Brinell
Abrasion-resistant plate engineered for repeated impact. It does not deform or pit out the way mild steel does, and a flat face is a safe face.
DuPont Kevlar, not chain
Chain fatigues and snaps. Kevlar, the body-armor fiber, absorbs shock and resists abrasion. If you have replaced a chain mid-session you already understand.
Grade 10.9 hardware
Smooth bolt heads face the shooter so impacts shed rather than catch. The stand has a bullet-deflection bend at the base.
Any caliber, right distance
No armor-piercing ammunition. Everything else is fine at standard safe distances, pistol from 10 yards and rifle from 100. Follow those and the plate outlasts everything around it.
A shop, a shooting spot, and a lot of ruined chain
GGC runs out of Glenns Ferry, Idaho. The plates get cut, coated, hand-assembled and boxed here, and then we take the same systems out and shoot them.
Every feature on these exists because something broke, tipped over, or took twenty minutes to set up for an hour of shooting. Chains that snapped. Stands that walked away in a breeze. This is the system we wanted to own, so it is the one we sell.

“The real beauty of the Guns Gong Crazy Shooting Target is its quality without loosing portability... it’s hard to come up with a valid excuse not to get one.”

Photos of setups, questions answered by the people who build these, and the occasional slow-motion gong hit. We’re gathering customer reviews there now. No invented star ratings here in the meantime.
Guns Gong Crazy on FacebookEverything else
Every part of every system is sold on its own, so a worn strap is never a new target.
