DA-Targets Swinging Gong

Made in the U.S. of a patented, color-changing, self-healing material, Swinging Gongs from Double Action Reactive Targets are a new take on the polymer, reactive target.

With options for 4" and 6" gongs, among others, the temperature-sensitive polymers temporarily change color to highlight the location of a bullet strike.

The gong targets include a 6" mounting strap and are lightweight, durable, affordable and weatherproof.

Due to the nature of the thermo-responsive polymer, buyers must select the appropriate temperature range expected during use: cool weather (45° F to 80° F); mild weather (60° F to 80° F); or warm weather (60° F to 100° F).

Target gongs are suitable for all handgun and rifle cartridges, but it is best to avoid hollow-point and flat-tip projectiles.

MSRP is $18 (4"); $32 (6"). For more information, visit da-targets.com.
