If your range allows it and you like medium or long distance shooting, make a gong. Mine is 9" around 2 inches thick, weighs about 50 lbs though. I take it to the 400 and 500 yard makers which is the limit at my range. What I like is knowing right then if you hit it. You hear the bong a second or two after you shoot. At the end of my shoot I re-paint the gong so I can judge my pattern the next trip.

Out here in arizona some of the welding gas suppliers are selling empty cylinders with the bottoms cut off and the valves taken out. A lot of metal artists are buying them and yeah you guessed it making gongs. They come glass beaded and all you have to do is thread in a 3/4" Eye hang it from a frame and you've got some serious gonging potential. I saw three ganged and tuned by adjusting cylinder length. Bet they would make a hell of a ring out there in the desert.
Just a thought for some of you welders out there.
