AR550 Gong Targets for Rifle Practice: Why Serious Shooters Choose MGM Targets

When you’re looking for AR550 gong targets for rifle practice, you need a target that can take repeated impacts, provide instant feedback, and keep you shooting instead of constantly walking downrange to reset targets. Whether you’re refining your hunting skills, preparing for a long-range competition, or simply enjoying a day at the range, a quality AR550 steel gong is one of the best investments you can make.

For more than 30 years, MGM Targets has built a reputation for manufacturing premium steel targets trusted by recreational shooters, competitive marksmen, military personnel, and law enforcement professionals. Their gong targets are built from genuine HEXALLOY 550 steel, delivering exceptional durability and consistent performance for thousands of rounds.

Why Choose AR550 Steel for Rifle Practice?

Not all steel targets are created equal.

Lower-quality steel can crater, warp, or wear prematurely after repeated rifle impacts. Damaged targets not only reduce target life but can also create unsafe shooting conditions.

AR550 steel is designed to resist deformation and provide a long-lasting, smooth shooting surface when used at the manufacturer’s recommended distances. Combined with proper target angles and safe shooting practices, AR550 targets offer years of dependable service for both recreational and competitive shooters.

Benefits of AR550 steel include:

  • Exceptional resistance to wear
  • Longer target life
  • Clear audible impact feedback
  • Reliable performance with centerfire rifles
  • Reduced maintenance compared to disposable targets

Meet the HexaGong® 3/8″ AR550

If you’re searching for the ideal rifle gong, the MGM Targets HexaGong® 3/8″ AR550 is an outstanding choice.

Unlike traditional round gongs, the distinctive hexagonal shape provides a unique look while maintaining a generous target area that’s perfect for everything from casual target shooting to precision rifle practice.

Available in multiple sizes ranging from 6-inch to 12-inch, the HexaGong lets you tailor your practice to your skill level and shooting distance. Smaller plates create a greater challenge for experienced marksmen, while larger targets are excellent for building confidence and confirming zero. The targets are rated for centerfire rifles at recommended distances, as well as centerfire pistols and shotguns with lead shot.

Perfect for Every Type of Shooter

The HexaGong is an excellent choice for:

  • Precision rifle practice
  • Hunting rifle sight-in sessions
  • Recreational target shooting
  • Long-range practice
  • Family range days
  • Rimfire training
  • Pistol practice at appropriate distances

No matter what you’re shooting, few things are as satisfying as hearing steel ring after a well-placed shot.

Spend More Time Shooting, Less Time Resetting

One of the biggest advantages of gong targets is simplicity.

Unlike paper targets that require frequent replacement or reactive targets that need to be reset after every hit, hanging steel gongs continue swinging freely after impact, allowing shooters to stay focused on practice.

That means:

  • Less walking downrange
  • More rounds fired during every range session
  • Better rhythm during practice
  • More efficient training

Whether you’re working on follow-up shots, practicing positional shooting, or simply enjoying an afternoon outdoors, steel keeps the fun going.

Complete Your Setup with the Gong Arrowhead Hanger Kit

A great gong deserves a great mounting system.

The MGM Gong Arrowhead Hanger Kit is designed to make hanging your steel targets quick, secure, and hassle-free. The innovative quick-attach system allows shooters to install or remove targets without tools, making setup and teardown remarkably fast.

Pair the Arrowhead Hanger Kit with your favorite stand or 2×4 frame, and you’ll have a portable target system that’s ready for nearly any shooting location.

The hanger system offers several advantages:

  • Fast, tool-free installation
  • Secure target attachment
  • Easy target changes
  • Portable range setup
  • Durable construction designed for repeated use

It’s the perfect companion to the HexaGong and helps create a range setup that travels as easily as you do.

Build Your Own Portable Rifle Range

One of the reasons shooters love gong targets is their versatility.

With a few simple components, you can build a portable practice range almost anywhere it’s safe and legal to shoot. Combine the HexaGong with the Gong Arrowhead Hanger Kit, leg brackets, chains, and a simple support frame to create a durable steel target system that assembles in minutes.
