I received the gong in a very timely manner. In fact, one day earlier than predicted. The target and stand were packaged well to prevent the parts from banging around in the box. The finish on product was clean and crisp. No sags or runs in the paint. It took about 5-7 minutes for the initial assembly. The holes lined up nicely and I did not have to force any of the bolts through due to irregular hole sizes or paint build up. The thing fit together like a glove. The instructions were clear and precise. The inset diagrams made sure that I had the right bolts. The only tricky part was making sure that the chains were attached evenly so that the gong hung exactly centered. (perhaps my OCD took over there). Testing the stability of the gong inside showed that there was not rattle or sloppiness in the stand or the gong. The stand breaks down for easy transport. Simply pulling the two sides of the upper rail off makes moving this thing from the house to the range a breeze. Once at the range the reassembly took about 30 seconds. We placed the target at 100 yards for testing with reloads and cast projectiles. The orange sticker on the face of the gong makes finding he target against a dark background very easy to do. They also include replacement stickers which no other company that I know of does.We took the following firearms out to the range for testing. .270, .556, .22, 32 cal, 38 cal 45 LC and 45 ACP. Remember that we use both factory and reloaded ammo. We tested, FMJ, plated and coated bullets as well as lead alloy cast bullets. We tested first with rifles and then with the pistols. Our velocity ran from 2995 ft/sec down to about 600 ft/sec. This gong took everything that we threw at it and kept asking for more. Sound from the gong was loud enough to give us audible feedback even at long ranges with the .22. We sent several hundred rounds down range and the gong chewed up them up and spit them out. We were really impressed with the performance of both the gong and the stand. Even after a constant stream of lead the stand moved only about 1/2 inch. The stand held up nicely to the splatter from the impact of the rounds and even a stray round that impacted the top cross bar. (that shooter will remain nameless...CJ). Even after taking a direct hit to the frame the parts still removed easily when it came time to pack it up. The gong itself showed no dents on either surface and did not chip or crack when taking rounds to the outer edge.If I were to change anything about this target system I would like to see the washers that are used to mount the gong a litter bigger. They hold the gong in place but I prefer washers that will cover the chain a little more.Overall we are extremely impressed with the performance of this gong and stand. It is exactly what we were looking for. This thing is sturdy and will hold up shot after shot. You can pay more money for another target but I you won't find better performance.
