I have been using these style of gongs for quite some time for my own personal use and thought I would get a feeler for how well other people like them.
These are the style of plate that I use. This design eliminates the use of chain and all of the typical problems associated with it, shooting the chain, hitting the target with enough force to swing it back up on top of its self, the "wiggle" from side to side of chain......
This is an image of the plate attached to the swinger bracket. The target is welded of center so the the plate is angled down slightly to direct the splatter downward. Also note the there is no weld on the target face so there is no heat damage on the plate its self. All targets are 3/8" AR500.
This is an image of the frame used to mount the whole system. The spacers on the sides are 12" long to keep the target away from the legs. The frame is designed to all come apart and the legs tuck inside of each other and it all fits into a 4x4x40 ish box. The frames are extremely portable, sturdy and work well no matter how rough the terrain is, up hill, down hill, rocky, sandy.....
The price for the frame set up with legs, spacers, top bar and one swinger bracket is $160 retail(call me for specials)
The frames can be upgraded easily to accommodate up to 7 targets across by simply buying a longer top bar and more swinger brackets. These frames are perfect for running "Know Your Limits" racks.
The best thing about the frames is that if you end up shooting through one of the parts they are cheap and easy to replace. All of the parts can be bought separately so there is no need to replace the whole frame(like you do on other style of frames)
The target plates them selves are 2"-12" and are $8-$70 respectively.
They cost a little more than chained targets but are a vastly superior product.
For those who are stubborn and like to do it old school we do sell the typical squares and rounds with mounting holes as well.
