## Features

- American Made Steel: All Dragon Brand shooting targets are made right here in the USA from high quality and durable AR500 steel. Our metal targets for shooting high caliber ammo can be flipped from side to side to protect against premature pitting and with proper use and care, they will last a lifetime.
- Eliminates Glare: We have your AR500 target solution with non-reflective matte white paint for maximum visibility and to minimize glare for the shooter. Each Dragon gong target can also easily be repainted after the original paint is knocked off.
- Laser Cut: Dragon Targets are your go to metal shooting targets for the range made with a Mitsubishi CNC laser cutter for maximum precision. We use a laser cut because the heat from other cutters (such as plasma) causes the strength of other steel range targets to diminish prematurely.
- Hear Every Hit: When our ar500 steel targets are hit, they make a loud ‘dinging’ noise that lets the shooter know they are on point during shooting practice. This eliminates the need to walk downrange to check for strikes and allows for more rounds to be shot in one session.
- Safety First: All safety protocols and guidelines should be strictly adhered to when target shooting. Once you switch from paper to steel, you will never want to go back! Why shoot a target, when you can shoot a Dragon?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My purchase came with unpainted gongs...explanation!?**
A: That's strange, it should have come powder coated white, with a Dragon Targets sticker to stick in the middle if you like. The reason they powder coat it white is so you can use white spray paint to spray over where your bullets hit after each session.

**Q: I have a 450 Bushmaster that I need to sight in at 100 yards. Will this hold up?**
A: I believe it will hold up, but I would be cautious shooting steel at 100 yards with anything higher powered (30-06, 300winmag, 7mm remmag etc...). I shoot mine at 150 yards with a 30-06 and have no pitting so far. .223/5.56 is good at 150 also...

**Q: Whats the diameter on the center hole ?**
A: The square holes on the targets are 9/16"

**Q: What size target would you recommend for a .45 muzzle loading flint lock *shooting an 80grain charge*?**
A: I no longer shoot my smoke pole, however, I have 10 and 12 “ steel  targets both would be fine for black powder. We shoot both with some hot loads no problem at all.
