   I hung these on a pipe stand and had a great time shooting them, mostly with 9mm. I found that it was important to face the hooks the correct way or they had the potential to slip out if the target was hit off center. Distance was a factor as well. The plates are solid and have no trouble handling the impact. The rotating mount allows the shrapnel to deflect downward upon impact. They are simple and easy to set up.

   It’s pretty hard to find heavy duty targets at good prices , this set meets both requirements for me .

   Works as designed. The only [minor] drawback, as others have mentioned, is that the targets will on occasion swing off of the hooks. Tried the zip-tie “remedy”, and it helps most of the time. The hooks need more curve to them. I’ll more than likely be purchasing some sturdy steel chain and carabiners from a local hardware store and replacing the hooks. Other than that, the targets themselves work well.

   Definitely better quality than the other less expensive ones. Paint is very nice. Works well with 1 inch conduit.

   This worked beautifully. My Dad and I took a 10 foot pipe and cut it into one 38 inch piece for the cross bar and four 20.5 inch pieces for the legs. My family has spent a few nights plinking these targets with our 22s. The assembly was very easy and the steel plates are great quality. I haven’t shot anything larger than a 22 at it yet and that was at about 40 yards. So I didn’t have any issues with the plates falling off the hangers like other reviews have mentioned. However I can see that being an issue with a more powerful round. We were thinking of using a zip tie to secure the plate to the hanger. An inexpensive quick fix. Overall, my family and I are very pleased with this product.

    GADFISH AR500 Steel Target 3/8″, Gong Target Hanging Kit These targets make a nice investment. These are sturdy steel targets which can be use over and over likely for a life time. The set includes 3 different sizes bringing greater utility to the set, and also making it a great set for beginners. The novice can start with the larger targets and work your way up to mastery of the smallest target. I tested these targets with rifle at 100 meters and a pistol at around 7 meters. Hits were nice and clearly audible at 100 meters, even when wearing hearing protection. With the rifle, A hit the first hit blasted the shoot & see style stick on target off the steel, I thought this was due to the kinetic energy of the round, but when I switched to pistol it happened here too. The temperature at the time was in the upper 50’s (Fahrenheit), so I presume the stickers are just of poor quality. I think they need to devise a better way to hang the targets. While shooting I would consistently knock the target from the hanger;.. and not just with the rifle, but pistol as well. I attempted 3 different set ups, hooks to the front, hooks to the rear, and hooks facing opposite directions,, but none of them proved a solution to this problem. I plan to attempt a set up using some quick connect chain links, and see if that will hold the targets more secure. Overall I would definitely recommend these targets, sure they need a little work in some areas, but they are heads & shoulders a superior option to purchasing paper or other disposable targets! 4.5 stars! Explaining my rating system: 5 – a superior product – I would highly recommend 4 – above average – a great choice 3 – average – what one might generally expect 2 – below average – I would advise seeking an alternative 1- Horrible – a waste of your valuable money – avoid if at all possible
