I am fortunate to have the ability to shoot rifles and pistols off my back porch. I've build and fun little "range" where I shoot mostly pistols at paper, falling plates and steel silhouettes and plates hanging from stands. Only one or two of my steel targets actually make a "gong" sound when struck. Most of the hanging targets, whether AR500 or mild steel, return a "smack" sound, being more like a ham hitting a linoleum floor than and "gong" sound?!
Is there a common characteristic of gongs that I could try to reproduce? I was thinking about buying three 12" x 20" x 3/8" silhouettes in AR500 steel but I'm not sure if these will produce the audible feedback I'm looking for.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
