I have shot everything at these targets and they are holding up very well. I hit the edge of one of the targets with 7.62 and it did deform it a bit but not too terrible. I shoot them at 10-25 yards with pistol ammo and 100+ with rifle ammo. My buddy brought over a S&W revolver in 500 magnum and it was the blew right threw one of my pistol targets (not AR500) but this one held up fine. Hope this helps. **Q: Will the t post hanger fit on a 1x2 ?** A: You can use a 2x2 or two 1x2's. The inner dimensions are 1.75" x 1.75" **Q: The product description for material says aluminum... I assume it’s a typo but before I buy I would like to double check.** A: It is NOT ALUMINUM!! Very high grade steel! Has held up to my HOT loads in my 9mm without hardly making a dent in it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Caldwell High Caliber AR500 Steel Targets 3/8 Inch Thickness, Rifle Rated for Precision Shooting and Target Practice with Hanging Options (Sold Separately) - Highwild AR500 Steel Target for Shooting 1/2" Thick Gong Silhouette Metal Target - Laser Cut - Neon Color - Highwild T-Post Target Hanger - T Post 2x4 Bracket Target Mount - AR500 Steel Gong Targets Conversion Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/189290126-gong](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/189290126-gong) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
