Thread: Where to get a little gong?

Destroyed in three shots with 22LR at 50 metres

To be fair, the body seemed to cope quite well. The neck got a bit bent out of shape on the second shot and the whole thing went flying off with the the third shot, broken at the neck. I had it attached to something solid via a bolt through the eye. It could spin freely, but no room to manoeuvre left and right. I'll try with another one on a chain before giving up

Maybe the bloke who recommended them to you @Tommy hasn't hit them three times yet

Hey at least I woulda hit the one I was aiming at @Gibo hahahahaha The ones we've shot are hung on wire at similar range, they got a little bit spooned up after a session, but didn't break! Maybe worth attaching them more loosely? We used subs too, were you using minimags or something? The other 3 dozen I gave to other people on the forum that don't have neighbours, I'll see how they got on.

CCI subs.

Maybe Northland air is lighter and make subs go supersonic! /S

That's bloody awesome, thanks! Will do.

As some way of paying it forward, if anyone wants four of China's finest gongs*, send me your address via PM.






*Good for air rifles, or alternatively any other calibre provided you don't actually hit it.

what about at 100m?

I was born with mine.

Don't know, didn't get the opportunity, but at almost the same muzzle energy (i.e. 50 versus 100 metres), I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the Chinese gongs!

Chinese gongs sent to @ Russian 22.

Enjoy torturing them

I have some biz 80 9" x 3/4"thick gongs just arrived pm if interested.

New gongs arrived. Thanks very much @veitnamcam

They look like they would take a bloody good clobbering, like the Chinese gongs on steroids!. Slightly bigger and way heavier plate. Can't wait to try them out and when I do, I'll report back.

I hope they are good....im getting 50 cut out of 5mm 450 grade.
The couple I sent you are 6mm 400 grade.

Just make sure they can rotate freely and Im sure they will take anything any rimfire can throw at them @+50y maybe even up to 223 @+100y?
