Our Rifle Range has Clangers at 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. We will be installing new ones at 200 yards.

Dear Fellow Members: I just wanted to let my fellow members know that I have made a donation to the Club’s Rifle Range, hopefully for all fellow Members to enjoy. I have built wooden Target Boards for the 400 and 500 yard target areas, and have placed them so that paper targets may be hung below the existing steel targets. I have also purchased steel gongs for the 400, 500, and 600 yard areas. I have placed an 8” GONG at 400, a 10” GONG at 500, and a
12” GONG at 600. This will allow 2 M.O.A. targets at those distances, which should be challenging, but readily achievable. The gongs are 1/2” AR500 STEEL, which will be good for just about anything anybody chooses to shoot without denting. (I made a slight miscalculation on the size of mounting bracket I would need for the 400 yard post, meaning that the gong is turning/racked and is presently being straightened by an inserted stick. I will buy and use a suitable mounting bracket upon my next visit to correct this issue.) I hope all rifle shooters will enjoy the new target choices available.
I notice from the last Newsletter that the club is looking for gong purchase options for the Plinking Range. Here are some options where gongs may be purchased at reasonable prices:

Best wishes for good shooting,

PS: Bob also plans to build a Target Board for the 600 yard location when time permits.
