Thread: 1000 yard gong

I would suggest getting good steel as the others have suggested and McNotty has excellent suggestions on hanging them at an angle. Bigger bolts are preferred at the shorter distances (M20s are great). I would suggest for the longer range targets that they use a single, wider strap so the target rings and reacts better with smaller calibers.

Also Part 6 of the Arms Act has not been repealed and is still in place.... so far.

Yeah as Gillie said
It's good to have a big gong at 1000 that everyone can hit and then down size to add challenge
At 1000 we go from nearly a 1m gong down to cell phone size
