Going to purchase a AR500 Steel Gong, and do most of my shooting at 100 yards with iron sites and can't decide on a 6"or 8" , anyone with experience with gongs at that range ? I can keep most of shot on a 9" paper plate with either my T53 or M44, so go back and forth between 6 or 8. Any only buying 1 !!!

Re: AR500 Steel Gong
The 6 inch should do at 100. The 10 ring on a SR 200 yard target is 7 inches. Should your eyes be okay then the 6 in will be fine for 200 too.

Get the bigger one and paint a 6 inch circle on it.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Re: AR500 Steel Gong
At 100 yards the 6" center of my targets is about the width of the front sight pin inside the globe of my 91/30. I would get the 8".

You will be able to see your hits as the paint chips as well. It will also be easier to use if you use a "6 o'clock" holdmillman wrote:Get the bigger one and paint a 6 inch circle on it.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
