IPSC Hatchet Gong Target Plates (All Sizes) 6MM Premium Mild Steel
6MM Mild Steel Hatchet Gong Target Plate
Round IPSC Reactive Gong for Hatchet Hanger Systems
The SPI Hatchet Gong Target Plate is a purpose-built round reactive steel target designed exclusively for use with the Stag Point Industries Hatchet Hanger and Hatchet Arm systems. Developed around IPSC-style training and competition shooting, these targets deliver fast visual feedback, reliable movement, and smooth target presentation when paired with compatible Hatchet mounting systems.
Manufactured from 6mm premium mild steel, these round gongs are designed specifically for air rifles, air pistols, CO₂ firearms, and .22LR training applications. The lighter plate weight allows improved target actuation with lower-energy calibres, making them an excellent option for low-cost IPSC-style practice and high-volume training sessions.
The forward-angled resting position allows the target to react by rotating rearward when struck, creating a clean and highly visible reactive target system.
Unlike traditional falling plate systems where the target drops to the ground after impact, the SPI Hatchet System is designed so the target falls rearward and becomes non-visible from the shooter’s perspective while remaining attached to the hanger system. This allows for faster stage resets, reduced downtime, and eliminates the need to continually pick targets up off the ground between strings or stages.

Why 6MM Mild Steel?
The 6mm mild steel version is designed as an affordable training and practice option for shooters using lower-powered calibres such as air rifles, air pistols, and .22LR firearms. The reduced target weight helps proper target movement and actuation with lower-energy ammunition that will not activate heavier 8mm AR500 targets.
This makes the 6mm mild steel version an excellent low-cost option for IPSC-style rimfire practice, junior training, backyard-style target setups, and high-volume shooting where operating costs and ammunition consumption are important considerations.
For shooters requiring increased durability or compatibility with rimfire magnum calibres, see our 6mm AR450 Hatchet Gong Targets. For full IPSC centrefire applications, see our 8mm AR500 Hatchet Gong Targets.
