    What size targets are these? Would it help with a longer heavier length of chain?

    First page, second post of the thread. Longer and heavy chain would make a difference but not sure how much.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    ah yeah I see. Bigger one could have extra chain hanging from lower tags to add weight? Or you could just buy some decent ones off Neckshot

    Here is mine on the 200m


    We've also got a mild steel off to the right at the same distance and then one on the ridge behind at 400m and another at 550m

    Here are a couple of pics of the setup - on its 1st outing a few years ago down south

    Biz400 gongs


    Mix of mild steel gongs - the ones I still have are still going, but looking much worse than this

    The 200 gong also offers the perfect target for practicing offhand shooting
