I went to Sports Authority and looked at some of their targets. Anyone have experience with these? Anything else you would recommend? I do have access to Schofield.















Google it cause every question is a dumb question.

Those reactive targets are fun. If you use them at SRGC, you'll just have to make sure hey don't wander too far down the range. Occasionally, range control will set a limit on how far downrange you can go.

What about gongs at Kokohead? Can I use something like this on the pistol or rifle side?

Yes you can, on the rifle side.

I do it all the time.

50 yard line minimum for 22lr

100 yard minimum for centerfire

Pretty much all the targets at SA are crap. Maybe fun for one time but your better off saving your money and filling up water bottles or something. Or investing in some quality steel targets

Regarding the cleaning jags... Jags are really what you should be using to run patches down your barrel instead of say those things that have a slot you put the patch through. I would not recommend that set however, with those kits you are just buying a bunch of stuff you will never need. Just buy the one you need for the gun you have. Midway has a good selection. I also like the parker hale style jags which wrap the cleaning cloth around them instead of the ones you pictured which you stab into the center of the patch and push it down the barrel. I also have that type but I prefer the parker hale. You really have to play with the size of the cloth with them though otherwise they may be too tight or too loose.

Does these type of gongs leave crater marks or no. I shot a friends target gong yesterday, not sure what type of grade steel it was but we were shooting .556, 7.62x39, 30-30 rounds. It didn't crater at all, if anything it was like very tiny BB gun marks. His son bought it for him from Bass Pro Shop in Vegas & mailed it to him

If you plan to use rifle rounds, you want to get AR500 metal.

Best type is ar500 steel 1/2" thick
8" or 10" seems to best fit the post holes on the range when u hang the plates

For you people setting up gongs at KHSC, how often do you have randoms start shooting at them too? Or is that not a problem?

Huge "problem".

I don't care so much is someone shoots my gong.

What pisses me off is that these shitheads miss and break the chain or punch holes in the frame.
