Frequently asked questions

What does 66% IPSC scale mean for this target?

IPSC targets are competition-standard silhouettes. At 66% scale, this gong maintains that proportional geometry but takes up less space, making it practical for shorter range distances while preserving realistic aiming point relationships.

Will AR500 steel handle high-velocity rifle rounds?

AR500 hardness accommodates centerfire rifle fire without degradation. High-velocity rounds will impact and ring the steel—that audible feedback is the target's primary function. Inspect regularly for pitting after extended use.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. TacticCAL is your gun store Fremont in the Bay Area.
