When shooting at a gong, once you starting going much past even 600 yards, it can get tough to see your impacts on steel. Particularly when shooting a .223. You really need a buddy on good glass watching and calling your shots. And even then, 1000 yards with .223 is tough, and even 6.5 Grendel can be tough at just 1000 yards, if it's not a small (light) gong. If you're on a 4 MOA gong range, they get huge with distance, while the bullets get weaker with distance. FWIW, they do make flashers that react to the impact, which is helpful.

ive been eyeballing one of those , my gong is 18 inch in diam and only 3/16's thick its very light but very strong cant punch holes in it with my grendel at 250 yards , i have cracked them at closer ranges though , the only problem i would have is they are concave so no flat mounting point for a flasher , though i guess i could weld up a flat mount on the back of them
