Steel wants to move. Hang it so it swings and angle it slightly downrange. That is what turns impact energy into a gong instead of a ricochet. Pistol from 10 yards, rifle from 100. Eye protection, every time.
One box. One trip. Shooting in ten minutes.
18" AR500 gong, adjustable stand, DuPont Kevlar suspension, grade 10.9 hardware and every carry strap you need. Nothing else to buy.

“$350 for a piece of steel?”

- ADJUSTABLE STAND
- $79.99
- KEVLAR STRAPS
- $39.99
- HARDWARE + CARRY GEAR
- $44.98

Bundled at $349.99, less than buying it in four pieces, in one box, with one shipping charge instead of four. A case of paper targets is a subscription you pay every trip.
Straight answers
Can one person really carry 52 lbs?
Yes, and that number drove the whole design. Carry handle, detachable shoulder strap and a separate gong strap so you can split the load or make one trip. It is heavy the way a full cooler is heavy · awkward for fifty yards, fine for a walk to the truck.
Will the stand tip or walk in wind?
The base is weighted and wide, and the gong hangs on Kevlar so impact energy swings the plate instead of shoving the frame. Stands that walked away in a breeze are exactly why this one looks the way it does.
How much is shipping, really?
Roughly $26 to $59 by Ground depending on how far you are from Idaho. Use the ZIP estimator above. That is the same rate you will see at checkout. Lower 48 only for now.
What if a part wears out in a year?
You buy that part. Straps, hooks, hardware, the stand and the gong are all sold individually, so a worn strap is a $39 order and never a new system. See our Return Policy for returns on unused items.
